Apple Vision Pro
During Apple’s WWDC 2023 keynote, Apple finally revealed its mixed-reality headset—the Apple Reality Pro headset—as a spatial computer. Ever since the company announced the Vision Pro headset—the company’s first new product line in years—it has dominated headlines.
Price
It will initially be available in the US for $3499 (around Rs 2,88,000).
People with Weak Eyesight
Besides its advanced features such as a 3D sensing camera, micro-OLED displays with 23 million combined pixels, spatial audio, and the M2 and R1 chipsets, the Vision Pro headset is also designed for those with poor vision. Although it is not possible to wear glasses with the headset, Apple has partnered with Zeiss to offer vision correction inserts.
Zeiss Optical Inserts can be customized for users with limited vision. In exchange for a vision prescription, Apple and Zeiss can create a vision corrector insert for the user, but these inserts will not be included in the package.
Auto Adjust Vision Prescriptions
Optical Inserts may not be available to everyone based on their vision prescriptions, so those with extreme prescriptions may not be able to wear the headset.
However, the ability to use the headset without glasses sets the Apple Vision Pro apart from other VR headsets, theoretically allowing for a more comfortable viewing experience. Besides offering vision correction inserts in its lineup of headsets, Meta, which is Apple’s biggest competitor in the AR-VR space, also offers a Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2 with vision correction inserts.
