According to The Verge , Vision Pro has a separate battery pack and is controlled by eyes, hands, and voice.
Vision Pro is promised to help boost the AR glasses market
Positioned primarily as an AR device, the Vision Pro can switch between AR and VR (virtual reality) using a dial. There are no controllers, and users navigate rows of app icons by looking at them. Users can tap to select and swipe to scroll, as well as give voice commands. The glasses support Bluetooth accessories and allow a Mac to be connected for use inside the glasses.
Apple promises that users won't be isolated from those around them either, as Vision Pro will display the user's eyes using a system called EyeSight, and if they're in VR mode, a glowing screen will obscure them. The device uses pass-through video to allow users to see the real world in full color, but users can also project 3D objects into real space, like pulling objects out of a text message thread into the real world .
Vision Pro allows users to easily switch between AR and VR modes
When talking to people remotely, users can use spatial audio to do things like arrange FaceTime participants as video tiles around the room. Users can record and review video with the 3D camera while wearing the glasses. Apple is also introducing TV and Arcade content for Vision Pro, including premium Disney content.
The Vision Pro has been in development for years, and is said to have gone through several iterations and delays. While the AR glasses market is still in its infancy, the Vision Pro promises to be a new signature for CEO Tim Cook at Apple. Its main competitors are AR glasses from Meta, including the gaming-focused Quest 2 and the general-purpose Quest Pro.
Apple says it has filed more than 5,000 patents related to the Vision Pro, which will be available in early 2024 and start at $3,499.
