Apple Vision Pro- introducing Apple’s first spatial computer and AR headset

Unveiling Apple’s latest innovation, a similar-looking gadget to ski goggles, Apple Vision Pro is expected to bring a radical shift in technological evolution. After an estimated seven years of development, the product is finally out and is ready to launch by the beginning of next year.

The potency of the product is yet to be determined but our wait has now come to an end for Apple has materialized its revolutionary innovation before anyone else could! What better news for the tech devotees?

The gizmo:

A three-dimensional headset that is positioned as an Augmented Reality can be controlled by most instinctive inputs and the thinnest commands. It shows high responsiveness to the user’s voice, eyes, and hands. Made of an aluminum body and a glass front, the device comes with twelve sensors and a 4k display for each eye. It is flexible with a headband strap that is cloth-lined and can be adjusted to different face sizes. Progressive design featuring Apple silicon in custom dual chip and a high resolution of 23M pixels spread across two displays offers a genuine user experience. An additional feature for people with eye power is the external custom optical inserts that come with magnetic attachments.

The premiere of the first spatial computer originated focusing more on augmented reality than the virtual but is likely to make a full switch seamlessly blending mixed realities, creating a game changer for the metaverse and immersive experiences provided by web3. The advent of this groundbreaking technology opens doors to an infinite realm of opportunities and potential.

The new input system, as Mike Rockwell, Apple’s vice president says, “is the most advanced personal electronics device ever.” It is indeed true. The invention is beyond the limitations of a conventional screening or display and it creates an infinitive canvas for the applications on a fully 3D screen. The device is also controller free, responds to touch and one can browse through the apps just by looking at them and by using Vision OS, a specialized Operating System. Bluetooth accessories such as Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad are supported to connect MAC with the headset. It also comes with downward-facing cameras to receive touch commands even when your hands are stooping low.

Figures:

Keeping in mind the audience at target, Vision Pro is focused more on businesses and not regular customers. Nevertheless, one needs to do a bit of saving for the AR headset would start selling for $3,499. However, one can expect a more budgeted version to launch later in time.

With only its announcement, the primary competitor of Apple’s Vision Pro would likely be Meta’s Quest-2 headset which is a game-specific product. We see there is a possibility of diving deeper into the hidden domains of Web 3.0 that are yet to be explored. It shall go beyond the boundaries of the metaverse, bringing us closer to a whole new level of technology.

This tech evolution signals a defining moment for many developers and creators in Web3 gaming domains. Apple’s strategic partnership with Unity and possibly with Unreal benefits developers within the metaverse space and sets the stage for companies like LootMogul- an athlete-led sports and gaming platform that specializes in building Sports Ambassadors metaverse. The users will experience visuals of global gaming stadiums with in-game play along with gaming enthusiasts and ambassadors. We must be prepared for a sweeping transformation that is coming our way.
