After years of rumours, Apple finally announced the company’s first AR / VR headset - the Apple Vision Pro today.

“Apple Vision Pro will change the way we communicate and collaborate,” CEO Tim Cook.

The Apple Vision Pro allows the user to see the real physical world around them, unlike other typical VR headsets that cover the user’s face and limit visibility.

The AR user interface includes a floating “Home View” visible as soon as the wearer straps the headset on their head.

The headset features 4K displays, a total of 12 cameras and five sensors that can measure the surrounding room’s dimensions, and track the user's eye focus point as well as the user’s hand gestures.

Vision Pro is also Apple’s first 3D camera. The user can capture spatial photos and spatial videos in 3D, then relive those moments like never before with immersive Spatial Audio.

Panoramas are said to wrap around you — making you feel like you’re standing right where you took them.

Cook described the user experience by saying that “You can relive your most important memories in an entirely new way,”. “Apple Vision Pro will introduce spatial computing” similar to the way the iPhone introduced mobile computing.

Apple also seems to have a broader focus on productivity and personal use, beyond just entertainment or gaming. The user can send emails, surf the web, and connect with external accessories for work.

Apple Vision Pro starts at $3,499 and will be available in early 2024 according to Apple.

So what do you think? Is this the future or a flop? Will Apple propel the whole AR / VR headset industry into a faster arms race?
