FAQ/Tutorial – What Does the New Apple Vision Pro Do?
QUESTION: I’ve heard buzz about the new Apple Vision Pro. What exactly is it and what does it do?
ANSWER: The new Apple Vision Pro is described as a spatial computing headset, which means it blends digital content with your physical space. So, for example, if you’re wearing the Apple Vision Pro headset, your FaceTime video tiles will be life-size and appear to be floating in the room, along with screens showing selected apps like Safari or Prime Video. You navigate everything simply by using your eyes, hands, and voice.
Want to feel like you’re somewhere other than your home or office? Apple Vision Pro lets you transform the space around you. Choose from a selection of landscapes including Yosemite and the Moon, or turn your living room into a personal movie theater with the Cinema Environment.
OpenAI’s CEO and co-founder Sam Altman posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he considered Apple Vision Pro to be the “second most impressive tech since the iPhone launched in 2007.” (Presumably, behind OpenAI’s own ChatGPT.) Even though most of us won’t be in the market for the $3,500 device any time soon, the technology is fascinating and something to watch in the years ahead.
