Apple Vision Pro: 7 things you need to know about the mixed-reality headset

The Apple Vision Pro headset is finally here, after months of rumors – and the so-called “spatial computer” is Apple's bold play at defining the future of computing, TV and more.

The Vision Pro combines both AR and VR experience in one very expensive headset, letting you switch between the two using a Digital Crown on the side. While the Meta Quest Pro already lets you switch between VR and a limited form of AR, Apple's headset is a significant hardware upgrade in a few ways.

Firstly, it gives you a 4K display for each eye, plus a total of 12 cameras and five sensors. The Vision Pro, which as the rumors predicted looks like a pair of ski goggles, is also powered by the combined might of an Apple M2 plus a new chip called the R1.

The other unique thing about the Vision Pro is its control system, which relies entirely on your eyes, hands and voice. Look through the headset and you'll see a new operating system called visionOS, which presents you with a familiar grid of app icons and was also apparently designed to support the low-latency requirements of an AR headset.
