Apple's Vision Pro Headset Launches, Ushering in New Era of Mixed Reality

Despite Concerns Over Psychological Impacts, Device Promises to Revolutionize Computing and Entertainment

Apple's new Vision Pro headset, a mixed reality device, is set to redefine how we connect, create, and explore, according to CEO Tim Cook.
The device, which goes on sale February 2, 2024, combines virtual elements with images of the real world, turning the world into a giant screen.
Despite its hefty $3,500 price tag, Apple reportedly sold as many as 200,000 units in the Vision Pro presale.
However, concerns have been raised about the psychological impacts of living life through the headset's passthrough video, with researchers reporting feelings of social absence and symptoms of simulator sickness.
Despite these concerns, the device is seen as a significant step towards the future of computing, with potential applications in areas such as meditation, productivity, and immersive video.
