Priced at $3,499! Apple's first AR glasses Vision Pro officially released

At 1 a.m. on June 6, Apple held its annual WWDC conference at Apple Park as scheduled. Like every year, at the Steve Jobs Theater we saw new systems, new Macbooks, and more. But the difference is that at the Apple Park football stadium, guests and developers can experience Apple's new product-Apple Vison Pro.

Vision Pro uses aviation-grade alloy materials, a custom-designed comfortable headband, and an elastic mask that can fit most people's faces after collecting data from thousands of people.

In terms of hardware, what has been revealed so far includes a Micro OLED screen, 23 million pixels, and a single-eye super 4K TV resolution. Apple mentioned that in order to provide multi-angle and fine text display, they used a customized three-mirror lens design. The chip adopts a dual-chip design, which is Apple’s current mainstream M2 chip, plus an R1 (guessed to be Reality 1) chip specially customized for AR.

The R1 chip is specifically designed to handle real-time sensors to handle Vision Pro’s 12 cameras and 6 microphones.

In terms of audio, Vision Pro uses brand-new spatial audio, which can provide users with spatial audio with a sense of environment. Specifically, by analyzing the materials and characteristics of the space - that is, the audio camera tracking function - it accurately provides the most suitable audio performance based on the scene where the user is located.

What’s more eye-catching is that Apple has also added an external display screen on the front, called Eyesight 3D display, which makes the device look transparent and can also display virtual human eyes, so that it will not be blurred when using the device. Isolated from the outside world. At the same time, the latest machine learning technology is used to capture the face through the front sensor to create Apple's virtual image Persona, which can simulate your image for Facetime calls, etc.

In terms of software, Apple said that Vision Pro is the first 3D space designed. All UIs are designed in the Apple style that users are familiar with, but they appear in space and are given a real sense of presence. They not only have volume and light and shadow, but also provide shadows to enrich its sense of space and distance. Moreover, the display screen is not limited by the display frame at all and supports zooming in and out at will. APPs can also be extracted separately and placed anywhere in the space. For example, you can place AppStore on the dining table and Message on your desk, and any APP will appear centered on you.

In terms of interaction, Vision Pro can adjust the degree of immersion through physical knobs. Internally, the operation does not require the use of additional equipment and hardware. Thanks to the 12 cameras, users only need to use their eyes, hands and voice to interact. In Apple's demonstration, wherever you look, the corresponding APP will appear slightly, and you can select it by pinching it with two fingers. Even the Siri summon ball is three-dimensional.

At the same time, in order to protect privacy, Vision Pro also begins to support iris recognition, which can automatically fill in passwords like face ID. But don’t worry, your fixation data will be kept private, and the app will only get your data when you click to confirm.

In terms of applications, Vision Pro can be linked with all Apple devices, and the information, memos, and photos we are familiar with can be synchronized in real time through icloud. In Apple's demonstration, modeling files sent through messages can be directly dragged to the real desktop to display a preview.

At the same time, Apple’s Magic Keyboard, mouse, and even Mac can be linked with Vision Pro. For example, with Mac, you can turn the Mac screen into a virtual screen and place it in the air with a simple "look" - it also supports any zooming in and out.

Facetime also supports the sense of space. Not only does the voice of Xiao Zha’s dream come from the position corresponding to the image, but the video characters will also be presented in life-size.

Panoramic photos taken via iPhone can be expanded and wrapped around the user using Vision Pro. Similarly, we can also use Vision Pro to shoot 3D video and spatial audio. In the future, video and audio will no longer be just two-dimensional. By analogy, Apple has also dragged movies into the virtual space. When watching movies, you can automatically adjust the surrounding light, enter the virtual space to view, and watch 3D movies.

After cooperating with Disney, even Mickey Mouse and Marvel can appear in your virtual life in the form of 3D interaction.

Okay, everyone is concerned about the price, which is US$3,499. It goes on sale in the U.S. early next year, with a global launch later.
