The headset will use your eye’s unique iris information to unlock your device, a feature Apple is calling Optic ID.Īs you’d expect, the Vision Pro works well with existing Apple accessories. This is a massive deal in the VR space, as it stops users from being as locked out as they are in other headsets … even if it does look a little “uncanny valley.” Those same cameras and sensors are also being used for security, which is, as ever for Apple, a big part of the Vision Pro. This means those around you can see your eyes, even while using the Vision Pro. Using internal cameras and sensors, a live feed of your eyes can be displayed on the Vision Pro and indicates when you’re using Eyesight to see through your headset’s cameras. Incredibly, that passthrough of information extends to you. Would you rather the real world fade away? You can add an immersive landscape experience instead of the real world, transporting yourself to a number of places, and can fine-tune your immersion level (i.e., whether you want it to be slightly transparent or not) using the Digital Crown. Apps can be placed in physical space and expanded or shrunk to your needs, and they can be anchored in place so they don’t move when you do. Apple intends for you to use this around your house as a place to construct your own augmented reality space. The array of sensors and cameras on the front of the device means you can see your home through the Vision Pro, much like the Meta Quest’s Passthrough feature. As such, the Vision Pro has all the same Apple apps as your iPhone and can access your photos, videos, and call contacts. Apple is clearly intending the headset to be an extension of your existing Apple ecosystem. It makes sure images are sent to the display in a seamless manner, eradicating frame lag that would impair the experience and freeing up the M2 to handle the other processing.Ī blend of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), the Vision Pro is the first Apple product you look through rather than at. It’s powered by Apple’s powerful M2 processor., the same chip you’ll find in the latest Macbook Pro 13-inch laptops, and it’s backed up by a new R1 chip created especially for the Vision Pro. This headset is an extremely high-end entry in VR headsets, too, with each of the two displays containing more pixels than a 4K TV for unmatched crispness. Instead, the Vision Pro is controlled by your voice, hands, and eyes. Inserts can be added for those who use glasses, while the battery is connected by wire and can be slipped into a pocket so it doesn’t weigh down the headset. The headset’s frame bends slightly to fit around your face, while the band has been designed to be as comfortable as possible. There’s a Digital Crown on the Vision Pro, too, borrowed from the Apple Watch to provide a small element of physical control.

Light materials have been used wherever possible, with more premium and heavier materials only used where absolutely necessary - like the front of the device, which is entirely glass. Most VR headsets are big and heavy items, and it’s clear a slim build and light weight were top of Apple’s goals with this headset.

Instead, the Vision Pro is a VR headset set to compete with the Meta Quest 3 and PlayStation VR2 and sports a similar style, with a broad visor and full head strap.Įxcept, it’s not exactly the same as its competitors. It’s important to note that this product is not the long-awaited Apple-branded smart glasses, which are a purely AR experience and will probably look like a regular pair of glasses.
