Whoa.
The Apple Vision Pro was announced today, a headset capable of both augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications.
While Australian pricing has not yet been confirmed, it’s like to come in at around $5,200 AUD based on its confirmed American price of $3,499 USD.
The headset sports an all-new R1 chip alongside Apple’s trusty M2 chip, and will run on an all-new operating system (OS) called VisionOS. The M2 will process apps, while the R1 chip will be responsible for rendering VR/AR elements for your visual pleasure.
Running on battery power, the Vision Pro is expected to provide around two hours of full immersion (VR) or partial immersion (AR) — you can dial this up or down through a dial on the side of the device.
The Vision Pro will work with iOS applications, suites like Microsoft Office, and will offer up its own App Store for future applications. It’ll also provide interactive experiences like What If…? from Disney+.
“With Vision Pro, you have an infinite canvas that transforms how you use the apps you love,” Apple said. “Arrange apps anywhere and scale them to the perfect size, making the workspace of your dreams a reality — all while staying present in the world around you. Browse the web in Safari, create a to-do list in Notes, chat in Messages, and seamlessly move between them with a glance.”
