Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s Augmented Reality Headset

Jun 6 2023

Apple has officially announced its augmented reality headset called Apple Vision Pro, which CEO Tim Took describes as the first Apple product you look through, and not at.

Looking like a pair of ski goggles, the AR headset works by using the eyes, hands and voice to navigate through apps and the digital world.

With a price tag currently set at a whopping $3,499 and with a launch set for early 2024 in the US, the headset can switch between augment and full virtual reality.

Users can browse through app icons in an operating system called visionOS by simply looking at them. They can also tap to select, flick to scroll or talk to the device to give commands.

The headset also tries to not completely separate you form the people around as the headset will display your eyes with a system called EyeSight. However, if you’re in full VR, a glowing screen will obscure them to suggest you are not available.

In the works for years, it has suffered various delays before its final release. With competitors sure to come in the form of Meta and the like, it will be a while before this will be up for commercial use.
