History of Apple Vision
Apple Vision, particularly known through its product 'Apple Vision Pro,' marks Apple’s entry into the
world of spatial computing and mixed reality. Unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC)
in June 2023, the Vision Pro is a high-end headset that combines virtual reality (VR) and augmented
reality (AR) to offer an immersive user experience. Apple called it a 'revolutionary spatial
computer' that seamlessly blends digital content with the physical world, allowing users to interact
using just their eyes, hands, and voice. This was a significant move by Apple to redefine personal
computing beyond screens and touch interfaces.
The Vision Pro represents years of research and
development in wearable technology and artificial intelligence. It features advanced components like
dual 4K micro-OLED displays, LiDAR sensors, Apple’s custom R1 chip, and a unique EyeSight feature
that shows the user's eyes to people around them, making interactions more natural. Released in
early 2024, it reflects Apple’s vision for the future of technology—one where digital content exists
in a shared space with the real world. While it's currently positioned as a premium product, it
signals the beginning of a broader shift in how we may work, communicate, and experience media in
the years ahead.
