Customers can test out the Vision Pro’s capabilities from entertainment experiences to an infinite canvas for preferred apps, as well as the option to view content from their photo library, including spatial photos and videos. From November 15 th , the Apple Vision Pro will also be available in Apple shops and for delivery.
So it begins, after years of intrigue and a busy 2023, which saw XR audiences far and wide hype Apple’s MR headset, the firm finally confirmed the release window for the much talked about Vision Pro, an MR headset for productivity, entertainment, and social use cases.
On the one hand we have platform wars , where Vive, Play Station, Oculus and Microsoft compete for the users. Big European companies recognize the importance of VR and its potential to solve business challenges they encounter. On Sunday afternoon the best prototypes were presented and rewarded by an independent jury. .
As such, it’s likely to compete primarily with solutions like the Microsoft HoloLens 2 and Meta Quest Pro. Engaging entertainment: The Apple Vision Pro’s two high-resolution displays can turn any environment into an intimate theatre, with screens up to 100 feet wide.
The prescription lenses for the Quest 3 start at $50, too – half the price of the Zeiss lenses for reading and a third of the cost of prescription lenses for the Vision Pro. Gaming is a little better on the Meta Quest 3 because so many entertainment-focused apps are available. Still, the Vision Pro is a more “premium” product overall.
For instance, if you need Apple Vision Pro accessories , like a set of ZEISS optical inserts, those cost $99-$149. Alongside Apple’s apps, you’ll also be able to experiment with a range of entertainment options (like Amazon Prime Video). Prices start at $3,499 for the 256GB version, $3,699 for the 512GB version, and $3,899 for 1TB.
Light shields, headbands, and custom Zeiss optical inserts for people who need eyeglasses are likely to be extra. Although the initial price tag of $1,499 introduced with the device in 2022 was a little high, it was still much cheaper than options like the Microsoft HoloLens 2. The Quest is a lot more affordable.
That’s why we rejoiced when Apple launched its headset: while Google and Microsoft can discard new technologies pretty easily, Apple is slower at deciding to take a step, but when it makes it, it commits to it. It will collaborate with ZEISS to create a digital solution for vision tests. This is very intriguing.
