Apple recently announced the new Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset and released more information about availability, supported prescriptions, and more. In this article, you'll learn everything you need to know about the Vision Pro and what it has to offer.
The Vision Pro will be available early next year for $3,499. At launch, however, it will only be available in the US through apple.com and Apple Stores. Other countries, such as Germany, are scheduled to release later next year. Note that the Apple Vision Pro has an age restriction of 13 and over, which will most likely be enforced through Apple ID compatibility.
glasses and prescription lenses
It may be a little awkward for those who wear glasses, as the Vision Pro requires magnetically attached prescription lenses from Zeiss. Unlike other headsets that use physical spacers to accommodate glasses, the Vision Pro relies on advanced eye tracking. It should be noted, however, that "not all prescriptions are supported." More specific information on the prescriptions supported has not yet been announced.
AR preview
To get an insight into the Vision Pro now, Apple offers an AR preview via Safari on the iPhone or iPad. Although it is not a hands-on demo of the headset, the AR preview still enables an immersive experience and gives a good impression of the Vision Pro's capabilities.
Apple Vision Pro: Conclusion
With the Apple Vision Pro, Apple is presenting an exciting mixed reality headset. Although it is only available in the US for now and there are some challenges for people who wear glasses, the AR preview offers an exciting opportunity to get acquainted with the Vision Pro now.
