The complete package includes interchangeable straps for personalized fitting, special sealing cushions, a protective case, a branded microfiber cleaning cloth, a battery, a cable, and a USB-C power adapter.
Apple describes the Vision Pro as a «revolutionary spatial computer that changes everything.» The development of the device has spanned over seven years, making it the first product not to be directly overseen by Steve Jobs.
The Vision Pro glasses are designed for various uses, including movie watching, communication, work, and gaming. According to the company, upon launch, users will have access to «hundreds» of games to choose from.
As Apple embarks on this latest venture, it aims to redefine the technological landscape by integrating augmented reality into everyday life, inviting consumers to experience a new level of immersive interaction.
