Apple Vision Pro in short
With the Vision Pro, Apple has developed a spatial computer. The headset seamlessly combines digital images with the physical world. So, for example, you not only see an app and widgets through the headset, but also what you would normally see when you look into that room. A lot of attention has been paid to details, for example, if a window appears on the screen, it will also cast a shadow on the floor of the room you are in.
Apple has done everything it can to blend the use of the headset with your environment. Unlike other AR/VR headsets, the Vision Pro does not completely cut you off from the outside world.
The Vision Pro works without the intervention of other Apple devices, making it a stand-alone product. So you can safely say that the Vision is a computer that you put on your head, then you can adjust the windows, apps and more. You can also connect a trackpad, mouse and keyboard so that you can use it completely as a ‘computer’.
This new device from Apple has a starting price of $3,499. If you are far-sighted or near-sighted, you can purchase special lenses for an additional $99 or $149. As standard, you receive an external battery, cleaning cloth, cover and USB-C cable. Some additional accessories to improve wearing comfort are also included.
