Apple has announced augmented reality glasses called Apple Vision Pro that "seamlessly" blend the real and digital world. CEO Tim Cook said it was "the first Apple product you look through, not at," and the device looks like ski goggles.
The most important features of the new Apple Vision Pro
According to what was mentioned, the glasses will have many interesting features, including:
1- The ability to switch between virtual and augmented reality modes using a control key such as the Digital Crown.
2- An external battery pack worn on the waist to provide additional power.
3- Lightweight and comfortable design with a strap similar to the strap used in the Apple Watch and an anti-sweat mesh for comfort on the face.
4- The option to use prescription lenses for people who need them.
5- Micro-OLED screens with 4K resolution.
6- Powerful Apple silicon chipsets - the same chipsets used in Macs.
7- xrOS operating system with a dedicated app store, a unique FaceTime experience, and the option to run iPhone and iPad applications.
8- How to control motor gestures without a physical controller.
9- More than 12 cameras that can read facial expressions, detect body movements, and draw maps of the surrounding areas.
10- The ability to verify identity.
The price will start at $3,499 (equivalent to 12,700 Qatari riyals), and it will start selling in the first quarter of 2024.
The new Apple Glass will be the main competitor to Mark Zuckerberg's Meta glasses, and has had relative success with the gaming-focused Quest 2 glasses.
