Apple Vision Pro: Introduction & Features

As a digitally innovative real estate agency we are dedicated to revolutionizing the way people experience and interact with real estate. With the introduction of Apple Vision Pro, we are entering a new era of augmented reality that will transform the industry as we know it and elevate our existing virtual tours to a new level.

The revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly connects digital content with the physical world, enables users to stay present and connected like never before. The Vision Pro creates an infinite workspace for apps that goes beyond the boundaries of traditional displays, with a fully three-dimensional user interface controlled by the most natural and intuitive means—users’ eyes, hands, and voice. Learn everything you need to know about the Apple Vision Pro!

With visionOS, the world’s first spatial operating system, Apple Vision Pro allows users to interact with digital content in a way that feels as though the content is physically present in their space.

The design of the Apple Vision Pro is truly groundbreaking, featuring an ultra-high-resolution display system that accommodates 23 million pixels across two displays, as well as specially developed Apple chips in a unique dual-chip design. This device is engineered to make every experience feel as if it’s happening in real-time right before the users’ eyes.

THE FEATURES

Operating System and User Interface
Revolutionary visionOS has been developed based on decades of technical innovation in macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, designed from the ground up to support the requirements of spatial computing with low latency. The result is a revolutionary operating system with powerful spatial experiences that fill the space around users, creating new possibilities at work and at home.

visionOS features a new three-dimensional user interface that makes digital content look and feel as though it is in users’ physical world. It dynamically responds to natural lighting and renders shadows to help users understand sizes and distances. To navigate and interact with spatial experiences, Apple Vision Pro introduces an entirely new input system controlled by users’ eyes, hands, and voice. Users can easily browse apps by looking at them, pinch their fingers together to select them, swipe with their hand to scroll, or use their voice to dictate.

Display
The Apple Vision Pro has been engineered for phenomenal computational performance in a compact, portable form factor. Its groundbreaking ultra-high-resolution display system, built on Apple chips, utilizes micro-OLED technology to accommodate 23 million pixels across two displays. Each display is the size of a postage stamp, with a wide color gamut and high dynamic range. Together with specially designed catadioptric lenses that enable incredible sharpness and clarity, this technological breakthrough delivers breathtaking experiences. Users who require vision correction can use optical inserts from ZEISS, ensuring faithful reproduction and accurate eye tracking.

Audio
An advanced 3D audio system lies at the heart of the Apple Vision Pro experience, creating a sense that sound is coming from the users’ surroundings and adapting to the sound in the room. Two individually amplified drivers in each audio pod deliver personalized 3D audio tailored to users’ head and ear geometry.

EyeSight and eye tracking system
The Apple Vision Pro also features EyeSight, an extraordinary innovation that helps users stay connected with people around them. When someone approaches a person wearing the Vision Pro, the device appears transparent—allowing users to see the person while still being able to see the user’s eyes. When users are in an immersive environment or using an app, EyeSight provides visual cues regarding the user’s focus.

The powerful eye tracking system that combines high-speed cameras and a ring of LEDs projecting invisible light patterns onto users’ eyes for responsive and intuitive input. These groundbreaking innovations are powered by Apple chips in a unique dual-chip design. The M2 chip delivers unparalleled standalone performance, while the brand-new R1 chip processes input from twelve cameras, five sensors, and six microphones, ensuring that content feels as though it’s happening in real-time right before users’ eyes. R1 delivers new images to the displays within 12 milliseconds—eight times faster than a blink of an eye. The Apple Vision Pro is designed for all-day use when connected and up to two hours of use with the appropriate high-performance external battery.

Spatial FaceTime
With the Apple Vision Pro, FaceTime calls utilize the space around users. All participants in the call are displayed in life-sized tiles, and 3D audio ensures that sound comes from the position of the participants. Users wearing the Vision Pro during a FaceTime call are represented as a Persona, a digital representation generated using Apple’s most advanced machine learning techniques, providing real-time facial and hand movements. Users can do things together, such as watching a movie, browsing photos, or collaborating on a presentation.

Pricing and Availability 
The Apple Vision Pro starts at $3,499 and will be available on apple.com and in Apple Stores in the United States next spring.

The Apple Vision Pro contains an incredible amount of technology in a compact form factor. A continuous piece of three-dimensionally shaped, laminated glass is polished to create an optically perfect surface. It serves as a lens for numerous cameras and sensors that are needed to connect the physical world with digital content. The glass transitions into a frame made of a special aluminum alloy that curves gently around users’ faces. The modular system allows for a perfect fit across a wide range of individuals. The light seal is made of a soft fabric and is available in multiple shapes and sizes. It is flexible to conform precisely to users’ faces. Flexible bands ensure that audio output stays close to users’ ears. The headband is three-dimensionally crafted from a single piece and available in multiple sizes. It is soft, breathable, and stretchable. The band secures with a simple mechanism, making it easy to switch to a different size or style.

Stay tuned for more updates and information about this game-changing device as we continue to explore its endless possibilities at Azury. Exciting times are ahead as we embrace the future of innovation with Apple Vision Pro.
