Apple released a 10-minute video of an “early user” trying out the headset under the guidance of Vision Pro product manager Alessandra McGinnis.

Here are some highlights:

• The headset can be controlled using eye or hand movements – for example, you can open the gallery, swipe, zoom in or move a photo with just a pinch.
• You can also use Siri and voice commands to launch programs.
• There is a separate mode for panoramic photos, which allows you to place the image on the entire room.
• Shown how spatial videos or movies on streaming services will look when viewed on a headset (also, with the help of fingers, you can place the window anywhere in the room or adjust the dimensions).
• Workspace settings – you can open mail, a browser or documents (or all at once, as space allows) and turn on music (only the headset user will hear the sound).
• FaceTime video calls can be extended to the whole room – it is also demonstrated how people calling from a Mac or the same headset are displayed (in the first case – a normal video, in the second – a more realistic image).
• Changing the environment – the standard panorama of the environment you are in can be changed to panoramas of different scenic locations.
• The MacBook screen can be displayed as a virtual display with one click.
• There are separate programs for meditation and entertainment — by activating the latter, for example, you can see a rather realistic image of a dinosaur in the room, which is a little scary, or a butterfly that lands on your hand after a gesture command.

Vision Pro pre-orders started on January 19, and the headset will appear in stores on February 2. The cost, as previously stated, reaches $3,500, but you will have to pay extra for prescription lenses. As for international sales, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, they will start ahead of the WWDC 2024 developer conference in June.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests that about 99% of the nearly one million apps announced for the headset aren’t new software for visionOS, but existing iPad versions.
