Apple Unveils $3,500 Vision Pro Headset for Augmented and Virtual Reality

  • Apple's Vision Pro headset provides a nearly seamless view of the real world through external cameras and better-than-4K screens.
  • The headset allows for pinning apps, videos, and web browser windows all around the user, with elements of reality intruding selectively.
  • The headset relies on simple gesture controls, which are more accurate and subtle than those of other VR headsets.
  • The headset features naturalistic 3D face scans, called "Personas," which can be created using the headset's external depth-sensing cameras.
  • The isolation of using a face computer and the limited usability for those with vision issues are also factors that may limit the appeal of the Vision Pro.
