Introducing Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer

Apple has introduced its groundbreaking spatial computer, Apple Vision Pro, which seamlessly combines digital content with the physical world, all while keeping users connected to others. This innovative device features an ultra-high-resolution display system, custom Apple silicon, and visionOS, the world’s first spatial operating system. With 23 million pixels across two displays and a three-dimensional user interface, Vision Pro offers an unparalleled computing experience.

Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, expressed excitement about the new era of computing that Vision Pro represents. He compared it to the introduction of the Mac and iPhone, stating that Vision Pro unlocks incredible experiences for users and provides new opportunities for developers.

Vision Pro revolutionizes how users interact with apps, capturing and reliving memories, enjoying entertainment, and connecting through FaceTime. Its visionOS allows apps to appear side by side at any scale, offering infinite screen real estate for enhanced productivity. With Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad support, users can seamlessly integrate their Mac capabilities and enjoy a large, crisp 4K display.

The device also transforms any space into a personal movie theater, offering an immersive entertainment experience with its ultra-high-resolution displays and advanced Spatial Audio system. Users can access immersive videos, play Apple Arcade games, and explore new types of gaming experiences.

Vision Pro introduces Environments, which expands a user’s world beyond physical boundaries with dynamic landscapes that help reduce clutter or enhance focus. The device’s three-dimensional camera allows users to capture and relive favorite memories, while FaceTime calls take on a spatial dimension, reflecting participants in life-size tiles and incorporating Spatial Audio.

The device supports an all-new App Store, where users can discover apps and access familiar iPhone and iPad apps redesigned for spatial computing. Developers can leverage Vision Pro’s powerful capabilities and visionOS to create unique app experiences.

Built on the foundation of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, visionOS provides a revolutionary three-dimensional interface that seamlessly blends digital content with the user’s physical world. Users can interact with spatial content using natural inputs such as their eyes, hands, and voice. Apple’s EyeSight technology enhances connectivity by displaying a user’s eyes while also providing visual cues about their focus.

Vision Pro’s breakthrough design incorporates advanced materials and features a compact, wearable form factor. The device includes a high-resolution display system, advanced audio, and an eyetracking system powered by custom Apple silicon. The device’s security and privacy features, such as Optic ID for secure authentication and data encryption, ensure user data remains protected.

Apple Vision Pro starts at $3,499 and will be available early next year on the Apple website and in Apple Stores. Customers will have the opportunity to experience and personalize their Vision Pro fit at Apple Store locations. To learn more about Vision Pro, visit apple.com/ apple-vision-pro.
