Apple has announced the official launch date of its latest device - Apple Vision Pro. From February 2, 2024, this innovative product will be available in Apple stores and online in the United States.
What is Apple Vision Pro?
Apple Vision Pro is a spatial computer that changes the way people work, collaborate, connect, relive memories, and enjoy entertainment. The device blends digital content with the physical world, unlocking powerful spatial experiences through the visionOS system. Control is handled through the most natural and intuitive input methods, such as the user's eyes, hands, and voice.
Vision Pro is powered by visionOS, built on decades of engineering innovation in macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. This system delivers powerful spatial experiences, opening new possibilities at work and at home. Users navigate a three-dimensional user interface controlled solely by their eyes, hands, and voice, making navigation intuitive and almost magical.
What will the new Apple hardware be used for?
Applications in work and entertainment
Users will be able to immerse themselves in "Environments" - dynamic, beautiful landscapes such as Haleakalā, Joshua Tree, Yosemite national parks, and even the surface of the moon, to focus or reduce clutter in crowded spaces. Environments will allow users to expand their world beyond the dimensions of a physical room. Vision Pro will also offer an infinite canvas for productivity, with key productivity and collaboration apps such as Fantastical, Freeform, JigSpace, apps from Microsoft 365, and Slack.
Apple Vision Pro will feature ultra-high-resolution displays, delivering more pixels than a 4K TV for each eye, allowing users to watch movies and TV shows from services such as Apple TV+, Disney+, Max, and others on a screen that appears to be 100 feet wide. In the gaming sector, Vision Pro provides access to games from the App Store, including over 250 titles from Apple Arcade. New spatial games such as Game Room, What the Golf? and Super Fruit Ninja, leverage the powerful capabilities of Apple Vision Pro, transforming the space around players and offering unique and engaging gaming experiences.
