Apple Unveils Its Much-Anticipated Mixed-Reality Headset: The First Major Product Since 2014

The revolutionary mixed-reality headset by tech giant Apple is finally here and it wouldn’t be wrong to mention that it’s caught many people’s attention.

For starters, the new Vision Pro was unveiled on Monday and it’s all thanks to the WWDC Developer Conference that we got the chance to witness the grand unveiling. Remember, the last time the Cupertino firm launched something as big as this was in 2014. So as you can imagine, the anticipation was real when we last heard about the Apple Watch.


The new Vision Pro is certainly not cheap, priced at a staggering $3500. It is designed to enable users to glance over applications in another unique manner. Moreover, here, the spaces located near it are given a new light- something that most of us could have never envisioned.

Users can make use of both their eyes as well as their hands to search through various apps and make their way through vocal means. So what exactly can you do with the headset is a question on many people’s minds.

Well, you can watch movies, and that entails both 2D and 3D versions which is another kick that movie buffs are getting. Similarly, the product enables the wearer to make use of spatial audio technology for the best sounds. They can even glance over their own images and videos while taking part in some fun activities like video games.

You can make use of it for things like work too where users can participate in the likes of video conferencing through platforms like Adobe’s Lightroom and tools from the classic Microsoft Office.

If you’re looking to make a purchase, well, that can only happen from the start of 2024, the company has stated. But it was interesting to see the impact that the launch had on Apple’s shares. It dropped by nearly 1% after the firm launched the product and that meant saying hello to no gains that arose during the earlier part of the day.

There’s even one offering that goes by the name of EyeSight and it's a new headset that alters in terms of transparency. This serves as the right signal to those around and whether or not they happen to be immersed in the entire experience or can interact or not. With advancing features like Spatial Audio, it just makes the user like they’re making the most of the whole experience, and that entails sensing more things located in rooms.

The product may even end up producing the most authentic version of an avatar of the wearer that they can utilize throughout this experience.

Meanwhile, such products are designed to attenuate the various face shapes as well as the facial sizes, depending on how adjustable they are and how many parts are located that can be changed.

The firm has gone about unveiling a series of partnerships for this new product at the recently held developer’s conference. This is where we saw the CEO of Disney explain how it’s going to collaborate with Apple to make Disney+ available on the product but no timeframe for this endeavor was provided.

The shares for Unity were seen rising over 20% while trading had come to a temporary halt when the firm unveiled its latest partnership with the app that’s used for game development.

iPhone maker Apple released some breakthrough images of how the product would function exactly. It would include more details on how it appears when the wearer ends up causing interactions across a particular space.
