At #WWDC23, Apple launched its own headset called Apple Vision Pro. Here are some key features of the headset:
• The Vision Pro headset has 12 cameras, 5 sensors, and 6 microphones that feed into the R1 chip
• R1 Chip is designed to "eliminate lag" and stream images to the headset's display "eight times faster than the blink of an eye"
• To use FaceTime, you need to create a digital persona that creates a virtual version of yourself with face tracking
• The headset is power-packed with the M2 Chipset, which is already being used in their MacBook lineup
• Button to capture photos and videos, and Digital Crown to adjust the viewing experience
• The headset is made with a single piece of glass at the front, and the rest is built with aluminium.
• Wearing spectacles can make it difficult to use a headset. To address this issue, Apple has partnered with Zeiss to create optical sensors that can adjust to individual vision differences
• The headset has a battery life of 2 hours and connects via a proprietary woven cable and magnetic puck
• The headset offers more than a 4K display for each eye
• The headset works with a fully 3D interface that is controlled with your hands, eyes, and voice
• After watching Apple's presentation, it is clear that they are prioritizing AR over VR. This is evident in their use of layered screens and 3D graphic experiences that integrate with the user's environment
• "EyeSight" is a feature of Vision Pro that projects realistic graphics of your eyes to those around you while you are wearing the headset
• Apple partnered with Unity to take advantage of features such as Passthrough, high-resolution rendering, and native gestures
• The battery pack of Vision Pro is not built into the device. Instead, it is connected to a wire running from the rear. The battery pack provides up to two hours of use, or Vision Pro wearers can plug it in to the wall for an extended experience
