Apple’s first Mixed Reality headset – the Vision Pro, is now available in physical stores across the United States. The tech giant said customers who pre-ordered the headset can pick it up from Apple Stores locations in the country.
Apple CEO Tim Cook also appeared at the company’s flagship store at Fifth Avenue in New York to celebrate the launch of its new product. Interested buyers can book an in-store demo and get a guided demo experience to check out what the Vision Pro offers.
The Mixed Reality headset went on sale in the United States yesterday with Apple announcing 600 new apps and games designed specifically for the headset. The Cupertino-based tech giant also said that the Vision Pro is compatible with more than one million apps that are already available on the App Store.
To give you a quick recap, the Apple Vision Pro is a Mixed Reality headset that lets users interact with apps in a virtual environment using their eyes, voice and hand gestures.
It has a high-resolution display that offers 4K resolution per eye and presents a 100-foot screen that can be used to watch content. The recently launched headset also comes with built-in ‘audio pods’ placed near the ears which emit sound in a 360-degree space. Apple claims that the Vision Pro can last up to 2 hours on a single charge and offers somewhere around 2.5 hours of video playback. It starts from $3,500 (approx. Rs 2,90,500).
