About 27499 yuan, Apple exploded new products to change the world?
Here it comes! Here it comes! It's finally here!
At today's WWDC23 developer conference, Apple released the long-awaited augmented reality headset Vision Pro, which is an augmented reality headset that "seamlessly" integrates the real and digital worlds, which Apple said marks the beginning of "spatial computing".
In terms of appearance, the Vision Pro adopts a ski goggles-like exterior design, controlled by eyes, gestures and voice.
The headset has a glass front panel and an aluminum frame that contains sensors, cameras, displays, and fan-cooled computing components.
The headphone mask and strap are cloth-lined and modular, and Apple says they can be bent to accommodate a variety of face and head shapes. The threaded headband can be replaced in different sizes and styles.
Apple has also partnered with Zeiss to produce cooperative lenses that can be magnetically attached to the display screen, making it easier for myopic users to use the headset.
The headset has an external battery that provides 2 hours of battery life and can be connected via a "braided cable" so it can be put in your pocket when in use.
In addition, Apple also said that its display will be unprecedentedly clear, with a micro-OLED screen, with 23 million pixels and a single-eye resolution of more than 4K.
In terms of chips, Vision Pro is equipped with M2 chips and new R1 chips, and this R1 chip is mainly responsible for transmission, officially said that the transmission of data can be reached in 12 milliseconds, faster than the blink of an eye, the headset also uses a new operating system visionOS, there is a special app store.
In terms of how it operates, the Vision Pro is an AR device, but it can also switch between augmented reality and full virtual reality (VR) with a single knob. Instead of using gamestick controls, users can simply gaze through app icons, tap to select, swipe to scroll, or voice commands.
The device uses a completely new operating system with a three-dimensional interface. The app experience in Vision Pro is not limited by display boundaries, and users can enlarge apps to any size and place them wherever they want.
Apple also added a related mode, saying that users will not be isolated from the people around them by wearing a headset, the headset will use a system called EyeSight to display the user's eyes, if the user is in full VR mode, a glowing screen will block their eyes to show that they do not want to be disturbed.
The headset's perspective video allows users to see the real world in full color, and users can also project 3D objects into real space, including pulling objects out of messages and putting them into the real world.
FaceTime on Vision Pro can display life-size people during video calls and also optimizes the experience of viewing photos and videos.
The Vision Pro is also "Apple's first 3D camera" that shows depth in video with spatial audio. The headset features a cinematic video viewing experience that scales the screen beyond the size of the room.
In terms of security, as a personal device, this headset adopts Optic ID, uses iris recognition, and it is more convenient to unlock as a headset device.
In addition, the Vision Pro headset also supports Bluetooth accessories that can be connected to a Mac for use inside the headset.
In terms of price, Vision Pro has only announced a price of $3499 in the US market, which will be available early next year, first in the US market, and more markets later.
So how much could the domestic price be? We found the same price in the United States for the 16-inch MacBook Pro priced at $3499, and the price of the same configuration in China is 27499 yuan.
On the 2019 iPhone, Apple used UWB functions and corresponding chips to give Apple's devices directional awareness; The use of Lidar on the 2020 iPhone and iPad Pro gave these devices distance awareness; AirPods Pro has also updated spatial audio, allowing wearable devices to have the ability to locate spatially; iPadOS has updated cursor snapping, so the cursor no longer needs to be moved to a specific position to complete the selected operation. And these technologies gradually matured and combined, becoming the current Vision Pro.
