Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a world where reality and digitality merge? Apple revealed the answer with the announcement of its first AR headset, called the Apple Vision Pro.

After years of delay, Apple has finally launched its first AR headset. They named the new device Apple Vision Pro, and as Apple CEO Tim Cook says, it's "the first Apple product we look through, not just into."


The device, which somewhat resembles a pair of ski goggles, offers a "seamless" combination of the real and digital world. Apple Vision Pro can switch between augmented reality (AR) and full virtual reality (VR), giving users a unique experience.

One of the features that makes her unique is her ability to control her eyes, hands and voice. In addition, it allows connection with Bluetooth devices and Mac computers, allowing users to use the computer inside the "headset".

But what's perhaps even more impressive is its technology EyeSight. This system shows the user's eyes, which ensures that you will not feel isolated even while using the headset. If you switch to full VR, a glowing screen obscures your eyes, signaling that you're out of reach.

But Apple Vision Pro offers even more. It also enables "passthrough" video, which means users can see the real world in full color. In addition, it enables the projection of 3D objects into real space. This includes the ability to drag objects from text threads into the real world.

Going back to the adage that says "a picture is worth a thousand words," the Apple Vision Pro truly goes beyond words. With the ability to record and relive videos with the 3D camera inside the headset, users can capture and relive their favorite moments.

Apple Vision Pro is undoubtedly a product that has been years in the making. It enters a market that has not been very successful so far, but its arrival has already won praise from industry experts. The biggest competitor is likely to be Meta (formerly known as Facebook), which has seen relative success with its gaming-oriented Quest 2 headset, while its more versatile Quest Pro has received mixed reviews.

It actually is Apple Vision Pro much more than just a gaming device. Apple promises an experience that goes beyond the limitations of traditional computers or smartphones. Say you're connected remotely with colleagues or friends—Vision Pro lets you use surround sound to arrange FaceTime participants like “video tiles” around the room. It can completely change your experience of video calling and remote working or socializing.

Given that this product is the first Apple's AR device, it will be interesting to see how it performs in the market. While it's true that the AR market hasn't exploded yet, it might be right  Vision Pro the product that will change that perception. After all, as the saying goes, "nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come." Maybe now is the time to Vision Pro.

With all these advanced features and capabilities, it is Apple Vision Pro undoubtedly a very advanced piece of technology. However, for now, there are still many questions about how this device will perform in practice. Will it wow the masses or simply become another device in Apple's ever-growing arsenal of products? Only time will tell.

Although data is still limited, there is no doubt that Apple Vision Pro will bring a breath of fresh air to the AR and VR industry. While we wait for more details and first reviews, we can only wonder what new possibilities this device will open up for ordinary users and the industry as a whole.
