The virtual reality glasses, which we have heard for a long time, have finally been announced. The first details for the Apple Vision Pro have been announced.
The Apple WWDC presentation hosted many announcements this year, as it does every year. In addition to the new Mac models, we encountered many details about both iOS 17, iPadOS and the new Mac version. The most important announcement of the presentation is undoubtedly Apple’s virtual reality and augmented reality mix system. Apple Vision Pro got glasses.
Apple Vision Pro stands out with its features
After all the announcements, Tim Cook said one last thing and announced the Apple glasses, which covered almost half of the presentation. Apple Vision Pro, also called a spatial computing device, combines both augmented reality and virtual reality applications. Thanks to the dial structure of the glasses, where we can see real places instantly, you can completely switch to the world of virtual reality. Even in this state, a system that automatically switches when someone approaches you has been used.
“Just as the Mac introduced us to personal computing and the iPhone introduced us to mobile computing, Apple Vision Pro introduces us to spatial computing. With a revolutionary new device and thousands of breakthrough innovations, years ago and earlier,” Tim Cook said in a statement. “It’s like nothing ever created. It unlocks incredible experiences for our users and exciting new opportunities for our developers.” said.
This device, which uses its own interface called VisionOS, will also work with other Apple products depending on the ecosystem. Apple Vision Pro, which comes with a portable thin battery structure, includes the M2 chip that Apple also uses in Macbook models, as well as the R1 chip developed for this device. It is possible to say that it has a very powerful system on its own.
There are 12 cameras in total, two of which are the main camera, five sensors and six microphones for clear conversations, so that it can fully detect the area you are in. Some of these cameras are located at the bottom of the device and with the help of sensors, they detect your hand movements and provide control without any other device.
The device, which offers different solutions in both depth of field and application usage, together with depth cameras, also has Lidar sensors. As you can see from the promotional video of the device, where you can navigate the menu thanks to eye tracking, it seems to open the door to a new use in this technology.
As can be expected, the price is quite expensive, especially for countries like us. Apple Vision Pro, which has a price tag of $ 3,499, will go on sale in the USA in the first months of next year. Towards the end of 2024, it will be gradually distributed in other markets.
