About Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro will come with a Dual Loop Band and Solo Knit Band which will give the headset users two options for the fit which could work the best for them.
The device further includes a Light Seal, two Light Seal Cushions, an Apple Vision Pro Cover for the front of the device, a Battery, a USB-C Charge Cable, a Polishing Cloth and a USB-C Power Adapter.
Vision Pro will come with the blend of digital content with the physical world and unlocks powerful spatial experiences in visionOS, controlled by the most natural and intuitive inputs possible — a user’s eyes, hands, and voice.
Apple Vision Pro is powered by visionOS, which is built on the foundation of decades of engineering innovation in macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. visionOS delivers powerful spatial experiences, unlocking new opportunities at work and at home.
Featuring a brand-new three-dimensional user interface and input system controlled entirely by a user’s eyes, hands, and voice, navigation feels magical. Intuitive gestures allow users to interact with apps by simply looking at them, tapping their fingers to select, flicking their wrist to scroll, or using a virtual keyboard or dictation to type.
With Siri, users can quickly open or close apps, play media, and more.
Statements
Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO said, “The era of spatial computing has arrived. Apple Vision Pro is the most advanced consumer electronics device ever created. Its revolutionary and magical user interface will redefine how we connect, create, and explore.”
“With key productivity and collaboration apps like Fantastical, Freeform, JigSpace, apps from Microsoft 365, and Slack, Apple Vision Pro is an ideal productivity tool for everyday tasks,” said Apple.
With Mac Virtual Display, users can bring the capabilities of their Mac into Vision Pro, by creating an enormous, private, and portable 4K display, which will be ideal for pro workflows.
Players can access games on the App Store, including more than 250 titles on Apple Arcade.
