The American corporation Apple has introduced a new new product called Vision Pro, as well as updated MacBook Air, desktop computers Mac Pro and compact Mac Studio. The presentation took place at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) at Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, California, and was broadcast on Youtube.

Vision Pro will allow users to see applications in a new way, in the space around them. Users will be able to use their eyes and hands to navigate through applications and search by voice. The headset can be used for watching movies, including in 3D format, with spatial sound, viewing your own photos or videos, as well as for video games. It can also be used to work with video conferencing applications, Microsoft Office or Adobe Lightroom.

Thanks to the EyeSight function, the headset can become transparent or opaque, signaling to others that the user is immersed in what is happening or ready to interact. Spatial audio will create the feeling that the user is completely immersed in what is happening, including through the perception of other objects in the room.

The headset is made taking into account various shapes and sizes of the face thanks to adjustable and replaceable parts. It will be available starting at $3,499 early next year.

On stage, the company announced several partnerships for Vision Pro — Disney CEO Bob Iger took the stage to announce that Disney+ will be available on Vision Pro from the first day of its release.
