Apple has just released a new product, the Apple Vision Pro. This is Apple’s first ”spatial” computer. This goggle-like computer is meant to blend together digital content and the physical world.
This new item is also Apple’s first ever product to use two chips. The two chips that run this device are the M2 and R1 chips. The M2 chip runs VisionOS (the operating system), executes computer algorithms, and also transmits graphics. At the same time, the R1 chip processes input from the cameras, microphones, and sensors, and also streams the graphics to the displays in a very short period of time. This makes for a lag free view of both the actual and digital worlds.
Vision Pro also has a feature where if you have a panorama, you can view it as a 3D image that wraps around you, making it feel like you are there. Additionally, Apple Vision is able to take images in 3D using Apple’s first 3D camera. This allows for even better memories, as this will be able to capture images in one more dimension. Vision can make collaborating much easier, as video tiles are now life size. It also lets you be able to have more space, as the images do not take up any space. Furthermore, The Apple Vision Pro can let you watch movies no matter where you are, which is very convenient. During Facetime calls This device is able to create a live image of you using a 3D scan of your head and the cameras and lights inside the headset, making it so that people that are on Facetime are able to see your face.
Although there are many benefits to this device, it is not cheap. It costs 3,500 USD. This device may be out of your budget, which can be a huge downside if you are considering buying this new product.
