Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional: visionOS, R1 chip, EyeSight, and extra

I simply walked out of a protracted demo session with Apple’s new $3,499 Imaginative and prescient Professional headset, which the corporate introduced at WWDC 2023 as “the world’s most superior client electronics machine.” It’s… a extremely very nice VR headset with spectacular shows and video passthrough. And I imply extremely spectacular shows and video passthrough: I used to be fortunately utilizing my cellphone to take notes whereas sporting the Imaginative and prescient Professional, one thing no different headset can realistically permit.

That mentioned, whereas Apple would clearly favor that folks consider the Imaginative and prescient Professional as a “highly effective spatial pc” or an augmented actuality machine, there’s actually no getting across the important VR headset nature of the factor, right down to the adjustable headstraps which undoubtedly tousled my hair. It seems, feels, and behaves like a VR headset. In the event you’ve used a Meta Quest, simply think about the absolute best Meta Quest working one thing very very similar to iPadOS, and also you’ll get it.
