Apple unveiled its first augmented reality headset, the Apple Vision Pro, on Monday at its 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference.
According to The Verge, an American technology news website, Vision Pro is generally marketed as an AR gadget, although it can be switched between augmented and full virtual reality through a dial. The gadget lacks a controller, and you navigate rows of app icons by gazing at them. You can select by tapping and flicking, and you can even offer voice commands. Apple also assures that you are not isolated from the people around you.
The headset will display your eyes with a system called EyeSight, and if you’re in full VR, a glowing screen will obscure them to suggest you’re not available. “It’s the first Apple product you look through, and not at,” CEO Tim Cook said of the device.
The headset has been in the works for years and has reportedly gone through several iterations as well as years of delays. It’s meant to be CEO Tim Cook’s signature addition to the Apple product lineup, reported The Verge.
