By simply twisting the Digital Crown, you can control the level of presence and immersion in these virtual environments.
Relive Memories in 3D
Apple Vision Pro introduces Apple’s first-ever three-dimensional camera, allowing users to capture, relive, and immerse themselves in their favorite memories accompanied by Spatial Audio. Each spatial photo and video transports users back in time, bringing back the joy of special celebrations or cherished family gatherings. Users can access their entire photo library on iCloud, viewing photos and videos at life-size scale with brilliant colors and stunning detail. Every panoramic shot taken on an iPhone expands and wraps around the user, providing an unparalleled sensation of being right in the moment.
FaceTime in a Spatial Realm
With Apple Vision Pro, FaceTime calls become even more engaging. Participants on the call are reflected in life-size tiles, and the audio is spatially enhanced, making it feel as if everyone is speaking from their actual positions in the room. When wearing Vision Pro during a FaceTime call, users are represented as a digital Persona—a dynamic virtual representation that reflects their facial and hand movements in real time. Users can share activities such as watching movies, browsing photos, or collaborating on presentations, creating an immersive and shared experience.
Expanded App Experiences
Apple Vision Pro features a new and improved App Store, offering users a wide range of apps and content from developers. It also provides access to hundreds of thousands of familiar iPhone and iPad apps that automatically adapt to Vision Pro’s unique input system. Apple’s developer community can explore the full potential of Vision Pro and visionOS, creating brand-new app experiences and reimagining existing ones for spatial computing.
A Revolutionary Operating System and User Interface
Drawing upon decades of engineering expertise from macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, visionOS has been meticulously crafted to support the low-latency demands of spatial computing. The result is a revolutionary operating system that delivers powerful spatial experiences, unlocking new possibilities for work and leisure. visionOS boasts a cutting-edge three-dimensional interface that seamlessly integrates digital content into a user’s physical environment. By dynamically responding to natural light and casting realistic shadows, the system helps users perceive scale and distance. Vision Pro introduces an entirely new input system, allowing users to navigate and interact with spatial content using their eyes, hands, and voice. Simply looking at apps, tapping fingers to select, flicking the wrist to scroll, or using voice commands can effortlessly navigate through the interface.
Breakthrough Design
Apple Vision Pro represents the culmination of Apple’s commitment to innovation, drawing upon their expertise in designing high-performance products like the Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch. Achieving exceptional performance, mobility, and wearability required the use of the most advanced materials available. The device boasts an impressive array of technology within a compact design. A single piece of three-dimensionally formed and laminated glass acts as an optical surface, acting as a lens for a wide array of cameras and sensors that seamlessly merge the physical and digital worlds. This glass flows into a custom aluminum alloy frame, gently curving around the user’s face. The modular system ensures a tailored fit for a wide range of people. The Light Seal, made of soft textile, comes in various shapes and sizes, flexing to fit the user’s face precisely. Flexible straps keep audio close to the user’s ears, while a three-dimensionally knitted Head Band, available in multiple sizes, offers cushioning, breathability, and stretch. The band can be easily secured or changed to another size or style.
Hardware Innovation
Apple Vision Pro boasts phenomenal computing power within its compact wearable form factor. The breakthrough ultra-high-resolution display system, powered by an Apple silicon chip, utilizes micro-OLED technology to cram 23 million pixels into two displays the size of postage stamps, providing wide color gamut and high dynamic range. Combined with custom catadioptric lenses for exceptional sharpness and clarity, Vision Pro delivers awe-inspiring visual experiences. Users with vision correction needs can rely on ZEISS Optical Inserts to ensure visual fidelity and precise eye tracking accuracy.
The advanced Spatial Audio system lies at the core of the Apple Vision Pro experience, immersing users in sound that appears to emanate from their environment, perfectly matching the space around them. Two individually amplified drivers within each audio pod offer Personalized Spatial Audio based on the user’s unique head and ear geometry.
Additionally, the high-performance eye tracking system in Apple Vision Pro employs high-speed cameras and a ring of LEDs to project invisible light patterns onto the user’s eyes, enabling responsive and intuitive input.
These groundbreaking innovations are driven by Apple silicon in a unique dual-chip design. The M2 chip delivers unparalleled standalone performance, while the brand-new R1 chip processes input from 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones, ensuring that digital content appears seamlessly and in real time. With R1 streaming new images to the displays within a mere 12 milliseconds—eight times faster than the blink of an eye—Apple Vision Pro offers an extraordinary visual experience. When plugged in, the device is designed for all-day use, and its external high-performance battery provides up to two hours of wireless operation.
Industry-Leading Privacy and Security
Privacy and security are paramount in Apple Vision Pro, with the device built on a foundation of strong safeguards that keep users in control of their data. Optic ID, a secure authentication system, analyzes a user’s iris under various invisible LED light exposures, comparing it to the enrolled Optic ID data protected by the Secure Enclave to instantly unlock the device. The Optic ID data is fully encrypted, inaccessible to apps, and never leaves the user’s device, ensuring it remains secure. When navigating Apple Vision Pro, the device respects user privacy by keeping their gaze private, with eye tracking information never shared with Apple, third-party apps, or websites. The camera and other sensors process data at the system level, ensuring individual apps do not gain access to the user’s surroundings without consent. EyeSight also includes a visual indicator that notifies others when a user is capturing a spatial photo or video.
