Top news of the week (Image by Meta) There are new leaks on Meta Quest 3S This week we had new leaks on Quest 3S, including many images of the headset and its controllers and some leaked information on the Quest documentation website. It will collaborate with ZEISS to create a digital solution for vision tests. This is very intriguing.
The full list of those exhibiting in the gaming and virtual reality category can be found here and include new virtual reality headsets, 3D cameras, motion and eye tracking technologies and 3D imaging. It employs an inside-out tracking system — meaning there is no outside camera that does position tracking. .
For instance, a new patent filing indicates Apple could incorporate Airtag technology into the Vision Pro. The glass pane is also a lens for the extensive camera array of the Vision Pro, which has allowed Apple to eliminate the need for controllers. There are no physical controls included with the device.
Moreover, the device also negates keyboard requirements (and controller requirements) with eye and hand-tracking features integrated into the headset. The tracking features aim to streamline user interaction while also potentially increasing accessibility to innovative computing technology.
Apple is working with ZEISS to bring optional optical inserts to the product, with “Readers” soon available for $99 and prescription standard optics for $149. Steering far away from technology terms like AR/VR/MR and the Metaverse, Apple is approaching the immersive technology space with a new angle, “spatial computing.”
2024 is here, and following my own extensive coverage last year, it seems that certain technology giants are aiming to reinvigorate mainstream XR with a range of new solutions and hardware. Apple was a significant headline stealer last year after the firm unveiled its Vision Pro headset at WWDC 2023.
Vision Pro doesn't support glasses, but optical inserts from ZEISS are available for $100 for readers or $150 for prescriptions. Vision Pro's operating system, visionOS, is controlled with eye tracking and hand gestures. Two different head bands come in the box, the Solo Knit Band and the recently announced Dual Loop Band.
The controller-free headset will launch at the start of next year, costing $3499 in the US. The tech giant’s first-ever venture into immersive technologies comes after a two-year snowball of delays and setbacks while developing the device. Apple has launched its long-awaited mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro, at WWDC.

Accessible Designing for visionOS In its recently released “ Designing for visionOS ” document, Apple highlighted the core technology stack that powers the Vision Pro and how users interact with the device. Additionally, the package includes ZEISS Optical Prescription inserts that improve clarity.
Just like with WebRTC, we see the potential of this technology, and we are proud to be the first to have created it. The technology is right there. Moreover, Apple partnered with Zeiss to create custom optical inserts to support users who require prescription glasses.
Like with its current technology lineup, Apple’s in-store retailer workers are renowned for their expertise in the firm’s product portfolio, such as iPhones and Macs. The headset will support two power options: an outlet and an external battery pack.
Like other leading MR devices, the Vision Pro is controller free. Immersive environments: The “Environments” feature on the Apple Vision Pro allows users to turn a dial to control how immersed they are in the background. Though there are no controllers for the Vision Pro, it does come with two buttons.
Even though the technology has been around for years, the current generation of products and devices gets closer than ever to the VR’s original promise: getting elsewhere and connecting to whatever matters most to you. With the technology advancing every year, the hardware is getting cheaper and the software base is growing steadily.

There are no controllers to master. hours of video Connectivity Bluetooth 5.3
Light shields, headbands, and custom Zeiss optical inserts for people who need eyeglasses are likely to be extra. With that price, you also get 256GB of storage, a charging cable, and a set of TouchPro controllers. You can toggle the “full-color passthrough” option on or off in your settings or use a controller shortcut.

A device with that price is likely a headset without cutting-edge features that ships without controllers , I would speculate. The only doubt I have is about what content it is going to offer: if the headset is without controllers, it means is dedicated mostly to social VR, media consumption, and/or virtual screen for the PC.
Also, the controllers seem well-shaped for use cases like prototyping and design. More info Hands-on sessions with Sony MR headset I have found two articles about journalists who have been able to go hands-on with the just-announced mixed reality headset by Sony dedicated to enterprise usage.
Apple has also unveiled that the ZEISS Optical Inserts will be available in two types: Readers, priced at $99, and Prescription, available for $149.
