Apple Vision Pro: The Start of a New Computer Era
Apple’s initial virtual reality headset, the Apple Vision Pro, was introduced by Tim Cook in June of last year, and he called it a “new type of computer.” Excited devotees have been waiting to use the smartphone since its unveiling at WWDC. Not to mention, there have been long-running rumours that the Vision Pro would be on sale in January or February. As Apple just revealed, the Vision Pro will in fact be on sale during the first week of February, proving that the rumour was accurate.
The Release and Accessibility
The Apple Vision Pro headset will start selling in the US on February 2nd, according to an announcement made by Apple. Preorders go live on January 19 at 8 AM ET for interested shoppers. Together with the release date of the $3,499 headset, Apple also disclosed the cost of the Zeiss prescription lenses that customers may choose to purchase.
Prescription lenses cost $149; readers cost an additional $99 (see below). In addition to a light seal, two light seal cushions, an Apple Vision Pro cover, a polishing cloth, a battery, a USB-C charging cable, and a USB-C power adapter, the basic model of the Vision Pro has 256GB of storage capability.
Innovative Elements
With a 4K display for each eye and a side-mounted slider for switching between virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), the Apple Vision Pro was unveiled at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference in June of last year. With Apple’s proprietary M2 chip and the new R1 processor, which processes data from integrated sensors, cameras, and microphones, the headset is powered by two chips. Furthermore, the gadget allows users to navigate the interface without a controller by supporting eye, head, and hand tracking.

A Novel Approach to Communication
With the Apple Vision Pro, users will be able to engage with well-known applications like FaceTime, Photos, and Movies and watch spatial films that were captured with the iPhone 15 Pro, according to Apple. App developers won’t need to put in extra work to make the headgear function with most iPhone and iPad applications since visionOS, Apple’s new operating system, is already installed on the headset. With its Apple TV app, Apple claims to provide more than 150 3D films.
Staff Training for a Specialised Device
Prior to its release, Apple reportedly trained staff members working in retail stores to operate and market the Apple Vision Pro. Specialised training sessions were allegedly provided to employees at many retail establishments located in the United States. Users must have their AR/VR headsets configured and adjusted specifically for them due to its complicated and specialised nature.
