Apple Vision Pro: The new device that changes the future of augmented reality

Apple Vision Pro signifies a revolution in the field of augmented reality and spatial computing, representing the first spatial computer from Apple. This device integrates digital content with the real world, allowing users to stay connected to their surroundings while simultaneously experiencing incredible new dimensions of technology. Vision Pro is based on an entirely new operating system, visionOS, the world's first spatial operating system, enabling users to interact with digital content as if it were physically present in their space.

Breakthrough technology for incredible visual and audio quality

Vision Pro utilizes an advanced ultra-high-definition resolution system that consists of two micro-OLED displays, each with 23 million pixels, surpassing the resolution of 4K televisions for each eye. The combination of micro-OLED technology with custom catadioptric lenses provides exceptional clarity and sharpness of images, and there are also ZEISS optical inserts that offer a wide field of view and accuracy of eye tracking for users with vision correction needs. Vision Pro employs a completely new R1 chip for processing data from 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones, ensuring real-time display with negligible latency, with image transmission to the screen in just 12 milliseconds.

Advanced spatial audio and intuitive interactions

Vision Pro also includes the most advanced spatial audio system that gives users the impression that sounds are coming from their immediate surroundings. Thanks to dual speakers positioned around each ear, the user experience becomes personalized, tailored to the geometry of the head and ears of each individual. With high-speed cameras and a ring of LED lights that project invisible light patterns, Vision Pro enables intuitive eye tracking for precise and rapid responses. All these innovations are powered by Apple’s silicon chip in a unique configuration with two chips, where M2 enables independent performance while R1 ensures seamless integration of the real world with the digital experience.

Applications in business and education

Apple Vision Pro is not limited to entertainment; its application in business and educational environments demonstrates equally impressive capabilities. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines uses Vision Pro for training technicians on the latest aircraft engine models, making maintenance procedures simpler through 3D representations with precise repair instructions. This training method reduces errors and increases employee satisfaction while simultaneously saving time and speeding up repair processes.

Vision Pro also allows professionals in various industries, such as architecture and construction, to view plans and 3D models of infrastructure in real-time. For example, EnBW (Energie Baden-Württemberg AG) uses Vision Pro for visualizing renewable energy projects, allowing collaborators to see and evaluate designs for charging stations, wind turbines, and solar farms.

Productivity and adaptability of the workspace

Vision Pro brings a whole new level of productivity for business users, allowing for the creation of an infinite workspace that can be customized for each user. With support for Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, users can wirelessly connect their Mac devices to Vision Pro and create a private, portable 4K display with incredibly sharp text. Business applications such as Microsoft 365 and SAP Analytics Cloud are tailored for Vision Pro, enabling users to organize their tasks in a simple and clear manner, with added contextual 3D maps and graphics to aid in decision-making.

Spatial computing gaming and entertainment

Vision Pro also introduces a new dimension to the world of entertainment. The device can turn any space into a personal cinema, with a virtual screen that appears to be 100 feet wide. Apple Immersive Video offers high-quality 180-degree recordings with spatial sound, while the entire line of games from the Apple Arcade platform allows for complete immersion gameplay, supporting popular controllers.

Apple Vision Pro represents a pioneering step in spatial computing, expanding the boundaries of our understanding of technology and its place in everyday life. Thanks to innovations in hardware and software, Apple has managed to create a device that changes the way we communicate, work, and entertain ourselves, connecting the digital and real worlds into an experience that feels like a part of our environment.
