The company also developed a technology to create three-dimensional digital version of each user to display during video conferencing.Īlthough Vision Pro won’t require physical controllers that can be clunky to use, the goggles will have to either be plugged into a power outlet or a portable battery tethered to the headset - a factor that could make it less attractive for some users. Apple said the experience won’t cause the recurring nausea and headaches that similar devices have in the past. The headset will be equipped with 12 cameras, six microphones and variety of sensors that will allow users to control it and various apps with just their eyes and hand gestures. Instead of merely positioning the goggles as another vehicle for exploring virtual worlds or watching more immersive entertainment, Apple framed the Vision Pro as the equivalent of owning a ultrahigh-definition TV, surround-sound system, high-end camera, and state-of-the art camera bundled into a single piece of hardware. “It looked like the beginning of a very long journey.” ![]() “It’s an impressive piece of technology, but it was almost like a tease,” said Gartner analyst Tuong Nguyen.

The device will be capable to toggling between virtual reality, or VR, and augmented reality, or AR, which projects digital imagery while users still see can see objects in the real world. After years of speculation, Apple CEO Tim Cook hailed the arrival of the sleek goggles - dubbed “Vision Pro” - at the the company’s annual developers conference held on a park-like campus in Cupertino, California, that Apple’s late co-founder Steve Jobs helped design. ![]()
