Apple Vision Pro as Revolutionary Spatial Computer
During the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023, the Apple Vision Pro was introduced to the public. The device was dubbed a "revolutionary spatial computer" that can seamlessly blend digital content with the physical world.
Unlike the existing mixed-reality headsets, the Vision Pro can be controlled through the user's eyes, hands, and voice. In addition, users can interact with apps by tapping their fingers, flicking their wrist to scroll, typing through the virtual keyboard, or dictating to type.
Powered by visionOS, the device promises new and untapped opportunities. "Apple Vision Pro is the most advanced consumer electronics device ever created. Its revolutionary and magical user interface will redefine how we connect, create, and explore," Apple CEO, Tim Cook, shared.

"With Environments, a user's world can grow beyond the dimensions of a physical room, using the Digital Crown to control how present or immersed they are," Apple explained.
As for its display, the Vision Pro offers an ultra-high-resolution display that will allow users to enjoy streaming content on a screen that feels 100 feet wide. The headset also comes with Apple Immersive Video which features 180-degree, 3D 8K recordings with Spatial Audio.
