Apple has officially debuted an augmented reality headset at its annual World Wide Developers Conference.
Vision Pro is the first Apple product ‘you look out of and not at,’ CEO Tim Cook said Monday at the live event.
The headset lets users merge the real world with a digital one navigated by their eyes, voice and hands – no controllers needed.
Vision Pro has a single, thick band on the back of the head, connecting a large, sleek screen that sits over the eyes.
With Vision Pro, you’re no longer limited by a display,’ Cook said.
Rumors speculated that the headset would feature a mixed reality, but Apple has focused solely on AR.
The headset runs on VisionOS, which Apple touts as ‘the world’s first spatial operating system.’
Apple calls it ‘spatial computing’ because it blends content into the space around you.
Mike Rockwell, Apple’s vice president of the Technology Development Group, said: ‘Creating our first spatial computer required invention across nearly every facet of the system.
