Apple Offers Virtual Preview of Apple Vision Pro Headset on its Apple Store App
Apple is giving users a virtual preview of its highly anticipated Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset through its Apple Store app. The virtual preview allows users to explore the headset before its official launch on February 2.
Apple’s Impressive Augmented Reality Capabilities
Apple is renowned for its impressive augmented reality (AR) technology, and the AR rendering of the Apple Vision Pro is no exception. The virtual objects created by Apple’s AR have powerful occlusion capabilities, seamlessly blocking the view of real objects behind them.
A Glimpse into the World of the Apple Vision Pro
The Apple Vision Pro is Apple’s first foray into a mixed reality headset, combining augmented reality and virtual reality capabilities. The company refers to this as Spatial Computing. Journalist Lance Ulanoff has had the chance to try the headset and has been impressed by its immersive movies, interactive AR experiences, panoramic photography, and realistic spatial videos. The Apple Vision Pro can be operated using subtle gestures and eye movements.
The Apple Vision Pro: An Expensive, But Highly Coveted Product
With a starting price of $3,499, the Apple Vision Pro is undeniably expensive. However, this hasn’t dampened interest, as it reportedly sold out during pre-orders and is highly sought-after on platforms like eBay. To capitalize on this excitement, Apple is offering users the chance to experience the Apple Vision Pro in augmented reality through its Apple Store app.
How to Access the Virtual Preview
To access the virtual preview, users need to open the Apple Store app on their iPhone or iPad, locate the Vision Pro section, and select it. From there, they can choose the option “View in your space” and point the device’s camera at a flat surface. Apple will analyze the 3D contours of the space, and a translucent representation of the Apple Vision Pro will appear. Users can move it, rotate it, and resize it using gestures.
Exploring the Apple Vision Pro in Augmented Reality
The virtual preview allows users to explore the Apple Vision Pro from different angles, zoom in to see its features, materials, and buttons, and even look into the dual 4K microLED displays. However, it’s important to note that while the virtual experience offers a realistic look into the future, it can’t fully replicate the feeling of making such a significant investment.
