Apple is set to revolutionize spatial computing with their latest product, the Apple Vision Pro. After its unveiling at a software conference eight months ago, the sleek headset will finally hit the shelves at Apple stores in the U.S. on February 2. Pre-orders for this groundbreaking device will begin on January 19, ushering in a new era of digital and physical integration.
The Vision Pro aims to transform how people work, collaborate, and enjoy entertainment by seamlessly blending digital content with the physical world. Priced at $3,500, the headset is poised to set the trend for spatial computing experiences and is designed to encourage developers to create apps tailored for its unique capabilities.
Described as a revolutionary spatial computer, the Vision Pro is controlled by the most natural and intuitive inputs, including a user’s eyes, hands, and voice. It promises powerful spatial experiences through visionOS, offering users access to over 1 million compatible apps across iOS and iPadOS. This launch accelerates Apple’s push to broaden the appeal of spatial computing, which until now has been considered a niche technology.
The company’s press release on Monday confirmed that the Vision Pro will be available for pre-order on January 19 at 5 a.m. PST, with the official launch set for February 2 at all U.S. Apple Store locations and through the online store. With its ambitious vision and innovative approach, Apple’s foray into spatial computing is set to redefine the digital and physical experience for consumers, marking a significant leap into the future of technology.
