Built on the foundation of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, visionOS, you can control the device with your eyes, hands, and voice interactions and can use the virtual keyboard or dictation to type with a simple finger tap.

According to the official Apple blog, “With Apple Vision Pro, you have an infinite canvas that transforms how you use the apps you love. Arrange apps anywhere and scale them to the perfect size, making the workspace of your dreams a reality all while staying present in the world around you. Browse the web in Safari, create a to-do list in Notes, chat in Messages, and seamlessly move between them with a glance.”

This magnificent innovation is the result of decades of experience and is known as one of the most ambitious Apple products ever. 

Features

The possibilities for what developers can dream up and build for Apple Vision Pro are endless. It serves multiple benefits, and the various features of Apple Vision Pro, as per the Apple Vision Pro official blog, include:

• Apple Vision Pro can transform any room into a personal theatre. Expand your movies, shows, and games to the perfect size while feeling like you’re part of the action with spatial audio. And with more pixels than a 4K TV for each eye, you can enjoy stunning content wherever you are, whether that’s a long flight or the couch at home.
• A high-performance eye-tracking system of LEDs and infrared cameras projects invisible light patterns onto each eye. This advanced system provides ultraprecise input without needing to hold any controllers, so you can accurately select elements just by looking at them.
• The Apple Vision Pro is Apple’s first 3D camera. You can capture magical spatial photos and spatial videos in 3D, then relive those cherished moments like never before with immersive spatial audio. Your existing library of photos and videos looks incredible at a remarkable scale. And panoramas wrap around you, making you feel like you’re standing right where you took them. You can also take spatial videos with the iPhone 15 Pro and then view them on Apple Vision Pro.
• Apple Vision Pro makes it easy to collaborate and connect wherever you are. FaceTime video tiles are life-size, and as new people join, the call simply expands in your room. Within FaceTime, you can also use apps to collaborate with colleagues on the same documents simultaneously.
• Apple Vision Pro was designed to help protect your privacy and keep you in control of your data. It builds on the foundation of existing Apple privacy and security features with new technologies like Optic ID, a secure authentication system that uses the uniqueness of your iris.
