The company's WWDC23 opening Keynote took place yesterday Apple, which is primarily intended for developers. Even so, there were not only operating systems, but also Mac computers and the company's first 3D computer Apple Vision Pro. Is there anything to stand for? Definitely! 

We all know very well that Samsung has also tried it with virtual reality. But his Gear VR was something completely different than what he showed us now Apple. Although these products are separated by a relatively long 8 years, in direct comparison they are light years. If he will have Vision Pro success, of course, we don't know, but it shows what the future could look like.

Moreover, it is not too far away. It's not a Google concept without a real product to try, it's not just talk around AR/VR, it's a tangible thing that brings a whole new concept of content consumption, and it's coming within a year and a day. Apple stated that it should go on the market in early 2024. The amount of $3 is indeed high, the initial distribution in the US market is limited, but if you watch the promo videos, you will say that he was responsible Apple feel free to say more. 

This is especially in contrast to new computers, where, for example, a Mac Studio with an M2 Ultra chip starts at CZK 120, while the basic Mac Pro costs CZK 199. Some 70 CZK + tax looks quite affordable for something that completely redefines the way we use computers and indeed smartphones these days. 

Headset? No way, spatial computer 

They are actually ski goggles that offer two micro OLED displays with a total of 23 million pixels. It is an endless canvas for applications not only at work, but also at home. Suitable for watching video content, playing games (including Apple Arcade), viewing panoramic photos, FaceTime calls, which, thanks to the advanced audio system, create the impression as if the person was really standing in front of you.

For this, there are transparencies that you determine with the crown. Don't want to see colleagues in the office? So you get a wallpaper instead. But as soon as someone comes to you, they enter your digital space. Without you Vision Pro removed, they will project your eye area onto the outer surface to make the communication more realistic. And we haven't mentioned yet that you control everything just by moving your eyes, gestures and voice. No driver needed. It looks like science fiction, but it's reality - virtual, augmented and mixed together. All in one on visonOS, which is a combination of everything – iOS, iPadOS and macOS. It is original and looks intuitive and familiar.  

Hard to erase lead 

The lenses are from the Zeiss company, they are adjustable, so they fit everyone. The same can be said for the face attachment or the strap over the head. The only design flaw seems to be the external battery, which only lasts for 2 hours of operation. It attaches to the device magnetically, similar to charging pucks Galaxy Watch (a Apple Watch Of course). 

Apple Vision Pro it drives two chips – one M2 and the other R1. For this, there are 12 cameras, five sensors, six microphones. Security is taken care of by Optic ID, which prevents the glasses from being used by users other than those you allow. Data is stored locally. However, we have not heard if there is an integrated memory. However, since the listed price is marked as "from", it can be expected that there will be more memory variants. 

A picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth two, so I recommend watching the attached videos to better explain how the device looks, what it can do and how it behaves. All we can say is that it looks absolutely stunning. Now let's put our mutual grudges aside and admit that we haven't seen this in the market before and that it might be a hit. It can also be a flop, but the initial enthusiasm doesn't do much for it. Samsung and Google will now have their hands full to catch up with Apple's lead.
