Apple’s Vision Pro AR/VR Headset is Awesome — But Who Can Afford it?

<p>Apple&rsquo;s Worldwide Developer Conference (or WWDC for short) is always a fun event for fans of Apple news and rumors. And right on cue, as many of us suspected, Apple debuted a new augmented reality headset that is arguably one of the best AR/VR implementations we&rsquo;ve seen to date.</p> <h1>&ldquo;Apple&rsquo;s first spatial computer&rdquo;</h1> <p>The Vision Pro doesn&rsquo;t simply connect to another device &mdash; like an iPhone, iPad or Mac. It&rsquo;s a computer on it&rsquo;s own, featuring both an M2 chip and a new chip that Apple has called the R1.</p> <p>But perhaps more importantly, Apple has dubbed the Vision Pro a &ldquo;spatial computer,&rdquo; a device in a class by itself.</p> <p>Whereas traditional computers display information on a flat surface, the Vision Pro&rsquo;s cameras allow it to &ldquo;see&rdquo; and process its environment and user&rsquo;s input and display information in a way that looks like it&rsquo;s part of the room.</p> <p>This allows for immersive viewing experiences and virtually unlimited screen real estate.</p> <p>Tim Cook opined that the debut of the vision pro &ldquo;marks the beginning of a new era for computing,&rdquo; and if the Vision Pro is widely adopted, he may very well be right about that.</p> <p>As I watched the announcement live, I was awestruck by just how futuristic this thing is. We&rsquo;re finally to a point in human history where we can immerse ourselves in digital environments of our own design and interact with our data and each other in worlds and ways that wouldn&rsquo;t have been possible even a few years ago.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/macoclock/apples-vision-pro-ar-vr-headset-is-awesome-but-who-can-afford-it-aa31ef44cf89"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
