There is even Microsoft Word! More info Discover XR at CES This year, I didn’t manage to write my usual roundup of XR news at CES, but luckily I’ve found that Tom Emrich wrote a summary of the most interesting things he saw, and Charlie Fink made also an interesting roundup of the XR technologies that help in accessibility.
Alongside Apple’s XR device debut, other firms, from Zoom to Microsoft, are jumping on the spatial computing bandwagon. As part of its commitment to accessibility, Apple is working with ZEISS to offer optional optical inserts for the device: “Readers” will cost $99, meanwhile prescription standard optics will cost $149.
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.”
Additionally, Apple is working with ZEISS to offer optional optical inserts for the device in a bid to improve accessibility options available alongside current XR devices. Currently, the Vision Pro is only purchasable by US customers, however, Apple is expected to roll out worldwide release windows at its WWDC event later this year.

To achieve accurate results safely and in a short space of time, Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies provide innovative and immersive, hands-on learning and practice.
On the one hand we have platform wars , where Vive, Play Station, Oculus and Microsoft compete for the users. VR Saving Planet A is a project driven by the belief that the powerful combination of immersive technologies and education for sustainable development can save our planet. Virtual Reality hype is a worldwide phenomenon.
As such, it’s likely to compete primarily with solutions like the Microsoft HoloLens 2 and Meta Quest Pro. Developed on top of Apple Silicon, the display leverages micro-OLED technology to showcase 23 million pixels on two displays, each the size of a postage stamp. Like other leading MR devices, the Vision Pro is controller free.

For instance, if you need Apple Vision Pro accessories , like a set of ZEISS optical inserts, those cost $99-$149. There are social tools, like Reddit and Discord, and even productivity apps from Microsoft, Zoom, Webex, and Adobe to explore. 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.

Apple also highlights how major workplace digital service providers, including Box, Craft, Fantastical, MindNode, Slack, Things 3, Webex, Zoom, and Microsoft 365, are adopting the hardware. Moreover, the package includes ZEISS Optical Prescription inserts that improve clarity. million compatible iOS and iPadOS applications.
Moreover, the package includes ZEISS Optical Prescription inserts that improve clarity for those with vision hurdles. Apple also supports major digital service providers, specifically for workplace situations, including Box, Craft, Fantastical, MindNode, Slack, Things 3, Webex, Zoom, and Microsoft 365.
While the technology is impressive, many enterprise solutions providers—such as service providers Box, Craft, Fantastical, MindNode, Slack, Things 3, Webex, Zoom, and Microsoft 365—are partnering to boost the development, and supporting these groups is vital to continued support.
Is the future of extended reality technology AR smart glasses? XR is a slow burn, however; while the technology is being tested in enterprise space worldwide, the journey is still early, and the story is yet to be written. The package also includes ZEISS Optical Prescription inserts to improve clarity for those with vision impairments.
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.
