The Dutch launch will have to wait a while, countries like Germany, France and the United Kingdom are already next: the launch of the Apple Vision Pro. Since Friday 28 June 2024 they can pre-order the Vision Pro.
The virtual reality glasses (or mixed reality as Apple likes to call it) have been on the market in the United States for a while now. With the Apple Vision Pro you enter new worlds and add digital images to your own reality. Let’s take a look at all the unique aspects of this innovative device.
A mix of reality and virtual
The key feature that makes the Vision Pro so unique is the mix of reality and virtual. When setting up the device, you see your own living environment together with your favorite Apple apps. We call this VisionOS. As a loyal Apple user, everything looks as you are used to, only now in a three-dimensional interface, controlled by your eyes, voice and hands.
Entertainment
A special feature of the Apple Vision Pro is the magic of a home cinema. The light dims automatically and you can adjust the screen size to your own needs. Before you know it, you are face to face with your favorite movie characters. Disney+ even offers a function that completely immerses you in the decor. The ultra-high resolution system uses Micro-OLED technology, making the quality even sharper than a 4K TV!
You can also play your favorite Apple games on the Vision Pro. Connect a controller or play with your hands. Want to take a chance? You can now also play online gambling games on a giant screen, so you can keep an extra close eye on everything! Apps and online casino websites are of course available on the Vision Pro. During gaming the social aspect remains present, you can just chat with your friends in the same room as you. A perfect mix of reality and virtual.
Work
In the future, more and more companies will become acquainted with the Vision Pro. Wherever you are, with the virtual reality glasses you can easily set up your digital workplace. With your finger you move between the different screens around you. The Vision Pro offers a virtual keyboard that responds to the movement of your hands, so you can easily make your way through all the different apps. For a few years now, the number of people working from home has increased enormouslya perfect home workplace is therefore increasingly important. Although the Apple Vision Pro has enough to offer on its own, you can also connect your computer, so you can see your Apple iMac life-size in the middle of the room.
Design
Another area where Apple distinguishes itself from others is the design of the Apple Vision Pro. The futuristic design is somewhat reminiscent of ski goggles. The Vision Pro is equipped with an elastic, wide band. The goggles only cover the eyes and part of the nose, which contributes to extra comfort. A comfortable experience is of course important for your health, more and more people and companies are becoming aware of this. Smart rings and health apps are used to monitor health. People with a predisposition for headaches and dizziness may experience problems with the VR glasses. On top of the device you will find the ‘Digital Crown’, also known from the Apple Watches. The Vision Pro weighs 600 grams and has a nice fit.
The power of the Apple Vision Pro is to enter virtual worlds while remaining connected to reality. Of course, it comes with a hefty price tag (256GB for 3,999 euros) and the Vision Pro is still in its early stages. Still, Apple seems to have brought an innovative product to the market with these mixed reality glasses. It almost seems unreal, but this is the new reality of the Apple Vision Pro.
