Apple today announced the Vision Pro, its first mixed reality headset. The headset will be available in early 2024 and will start at $3499.
The Vision Pro is a powerful device that combines virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). It features two 1080p displays, a powerful processor, and a wide range of sensors. The headset will also be compatible with Apple’s existing ARKit platform, which allows developers to create AR experiences for the Vision Pro.
In a keynote address at WWDC 2023, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the Vision Pro is “the most advanced product we’ve ever made.” He added that the headset will “change the way we work, play, and create.”
The Vision Pro is a high-end device, and its price tag reflects that. However, Apple is confident that the headset will be a success. The company has been working on the Vision Pro for years, and it believes that the device is ready for the mainstream market.
The Vision Pro is not the only mixed reality headset on the market. However, it is the first headset from a major player like Apple. This could make the Vision Pro the device that finally takes mixed reality mainstream.
Here are some of the key features of the Apple Vision Pro:
- Two 1080p displays with a refresh rate of 90Hz
- Powerful processor with custom Apple silicon
- Wide range of sensors, including cameras, LiDAR scanner, and motion sensors
- Compatible with Apple’s ARKit platform
- Starting price of $3499
The Vision Pro is a powerful device that has the potential to change the way we work, play, and create. It is sure to be a popular device among early adopters, and it could help to make mixed reality mainstream.
