Information for the Apple Vision Pro

Apple has taken a revolutionary step in the world of augmented reality (AR) with the launch of the Vision Pro. This spatial computer seamlessly combines digital images with the physical world, providing users with a unique and refined experience.

The Vision Pro ensures you're not completely cut off from the outside world, unlike other AR/VR headsets. The device operates as a standalone computer that you place on your head, effortlessly integrating digital images with your environment.

The Vision Pro's modular system offers a custom fit for the user. The 'Light Seal' perfectly fits the face, and flexible straps provide optimal comfort. The headset can even be customized with accessories such as trackpads, mice, and keyboards.

The Vision Pro includes built-in speakers that keep sound close to the user's ears. This maintains contact with the environment. The spatial audio contributes to an immersive experience.

Equipped with the M2 chip for standard tasks and the R1 chip for data processing from 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones, the Vision Pro delivers impressive performance. The R1 chip ensures real-time display and unprecedented fast screen refresh.

Thanks to EyeSight, you stay connected to the outside world. It displays your eyes on the screen, and when someone approaches, that person appears in the image. EyeSight also indicates when you are using apps or completely engrossed in an experience.

For authentication, the Vision Pro uses Optic ID, an iris scan that provides a secure alternative to face ID and touch ID. It can be used for purchases in the App Store, password entry, and Apple Pay payments.

The Vision Pro uses an external power source to keep the device light and comfortable. With a choice between a USB-C charger or an external battery, it offers flexibility in use.

While the Vision Pro cannot be used with glasses, Apple, in collaboration with Zeiss, has developed magnetic lenses that can be attached to the inside of the headset, allowing glasses wearers to enjoy a clear view.

The Vision Pro carries a price tag of $3499, comparable to the most expensive MacBook Pro. In the Netherlands, the price is expected to be around €4199.

With the Apple Vision Pro, the technology company enters a new dimension of spatial computing, providing users with an impressive and immersive experience that blurs the boundaries between digital and physical.
