Over the summer, Apple CEO Tim Cook unveiled the much-anticipated and talked about Apple Vision Pro. The revolutionary wearable spatial computer utilizes a three-dimensional user interface to blend digital content with the physical world.
“Today marks the beginning of a new era for computing,” Cook says. “Just as the Mac introduced us to personal computing and iPhone introduced us to mobile computing, Apple Vision Pro introduces us to spatial computing.”
The headset makes use of 23 million pixels across two ultra-high-resolution displays and spatial audio that appears to originate from its virtual position. Through the use of Apple’s newest immersive technology, users can transform any space into a personal movie theater, a conference room-sized FaceTime call or a tranquil landscape that helps to focus on the task at hand.
As true with all Apple products, the next-gen- eration operating system is artfully designed into a custom aluminum alloy frame that curves to the user’s face, providing a tailored fit for a wide range of people. At the heart of it all is a singular piece of laminated glass polished to create a lens-like surface. On this surface is where Apple’s R1 chip processes input from an astonishing 12 cameras, five sensors and six microphones that stream images eight times faster than the blink of an eye.
