Apple's "Vision Pro" virtual reality headset |
Apple has announced its first XR headset, the Vision Pro, which is
a mixed reality headset that allows users to place virtual screens around their
Mac, take FaceTime calls, and write emails from their couch[1]. The headset is
expected to be available for purchase in early 2024, with a starting price of
$3,499[2][1]. The headset is aimed at developers of video games and other
applications, rather than the general public[2]. The headset is expected to
refine the approach to virtual reality and introduce a headset that will do
more than just virtual reality, but augment reality in a mixed AR and VR
environment[3]. The headset is expected to have cutting-edge technology and a
design that is significantly lighter than the first-generation model[4]. Apple
has not yet finalized its plans for the release date, but it could reportedly
launch in 2023 with an announcement at Apple's WWDC 2023 event[3][5]. The
headset has been referred to as the world's first spatial computer[2].
