At the just held keynote at the start of WWDC, Apple presented the Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset, long awaited by many Apple analysts, which contains a whole range of innovative features. The design, which is somewhat reminiscent of chrome ski goggles, offers a total resolution of 23 million pixels as well as the completely new EyeSight technology, which recognises the eyes of the user for other people in the room via an external display when they communicate with the Vision Pro user. ;)
If, on the other hand, one uses the new operating system "visionOS" of the Apple Vision Pro, the eyes of the Vision Pro user are not visible. Quite impressive and at the same time clever setup for fluent communication between virtual and real world. The Apple Vision Pro headset is powered by a wired power bank - e.g. to be worn via a belt clip - so that the weight of the Vision Pro could presumably be kept quite low. Via visionOS, all documents on a Mac or iPhone can be edited in a huge virtual room with an infinite work surface - even an Apple keyboard or trackpad can be connected. Also quite impressive is the real-time conferencing solution from Apple via FaceTime realised with visionOS and the Vision Pro: ;) Since the Vision Pro headset has a whole series of integrated cameras, they can - similar to Face ID on the iPhone - create a three-dimensional model of the Vision Pro user&s head - including skin, eye colour and hair. During a FaceTime conference, this digital image is then animated in real time with the facial expressions of the Vision Pro user - in the sample videos at WWDC, this worked in absolutely usable quality. ;) In addition to the possibility of connecting external input devices to the Apple Vision Pro, it is primarily controlled by hand gestures and speech. The cameras built into the Vision Pro track the user&s hand gestures, making special hand controllers unnecessary. In the demo videos, this really does create something like a "Minority Report" interface feeling - quite impressive. In addition to productivity and conferencing applications, entertainment applications were also presented for the Vision Pro. With Disney Pictures as a partner as well as the AppleTV offer and various games, this should also be one of the main areas of application for the Vision Pro. ;) Thanks to variously adjustable virtual screen sizes, different immersive film environments can be created - from a cinema screen perspective to full film immersion - optionally in 3D. The topic of security was also given space at the presentation of the Apple Vision Pro at the WWDC keynote: the Vision Pro headset has a nine-implemented iris scan function that is supposed to be particularly secure. is said to be particularly secure. ;) With the Vision Pro, Apple is likely to have the most powerful Mixed Reality headset on the market at the moment and accordingly speaks confidently of ushering in a new era with the creation of a new type of device, which Apple calls "spatial computer". Price and Availability Prices for the new Apple Vision Pro headset start at 3,499 US dollars. The Vision Pro headset will initially be available in the USA next spring - other countries will follow later next year.  more infos at bei www.apple.comdeutsche Version dieser Seite: Apple Vision Pro: Lang erwartetes Mixed Reality Headset - der Beginn einer neuen Geräte-Ära? |
