One more thing

One thing after (One More Thing), this phrase we are waiting for, the phrase that Steve Jobs said and every time he changed technology and the world and presented something amazing, years ago and we are waiting to hear this phrase again.

Finally, a new device was announced, a new category, that will change the world of technology, a huge step towards the Oasis world, and the announcement of the Apple Vision Pro. The device, which Apple calls computing, has arrived in the virtual world.

OS

The operating system used is called visionOS by Apple, and it is the first operating system for the virtual world issued by Apple. This system can be controlled by eye, voice and touch. Your favorite apps live in front of you. Dimensions applications interact with ambient light and shadow.

Although this unique experience and interaction with applications and the system takes place inside the Vision Pro glasses, it will appear as if it is in front of you in real life. And you will see the people around you when they are in the same room.

Entertainment and games

You can enjoy seeing the entertainment on Vision Pro in your virtual world in XNUMXD and feel like you are inside the cinema and the sounds come around you. You can play your favorite games and communicate with your friends via FaceTime and other communication applications.

Work

You can work anywhere with Vision Pro. Web pages come alive in a huge space in your virtual world and the text is clear and easy to read. You put multiple apps in front of you, have them floating around the visionOS interface, and the app windows are all around you at the same time. You can connect Apple Glass to your Mac, and use your device's screen in augmented reality.

Communication

Communicating via FaceTime is so much fun as if people are the real size around you in virtual reality. Apple glasses come with a XNUMXD Vision Pro camera for photography and video, a unique camera that makes you live any moment you capture with it as if you are inside it again.

Technologies

The Vision Pro is beautiful and well-crafted, thanks to the glass that doubles as a lens. The frame that surrounds it lays flat on your face. The outer structure is made of lightweight aluminum alloy. The device is designed in an adjustable way so that you can completely adjust it to suit you.

High-resolution screens are integrated, so that digital experiences become as real in the virtual space. To achieve this, Apple used micro-OLED technology to provide the best possible vision, there are more than 23 million pixels per eye.

Also, alien sound technology has been used to give more realism to all your experiences. The system is designed to be able to track head movement with such speed and accuracy, that the experiences appear to be happening in real time. The glasses are charged via USB-C and contain a high-performance battery, and you can also connect an additional battery, for a longer experience.

Apple's new Apple Vision Pro is the next generation of space computing that could fundamentally change the way we live. It is of high quality and realistic. And this is only the beginning. In the future, Apple will try to improve all the amazing features and technologies to make the next generation of space computing even more superior.

Price and availability

The price of the Apple Vision Pro glasses is $ 3499, which is certainly a great price, but it is clear that Apple added Pro to the name so that we know that this first experience will be more intended for business and professionals, and it is expected that we will see the year after next year a version at a lower price called Apple Vision for the average user At the present time, you should know that this product is not available to us, so do not bother if I tell you that it will not be available before the beginning of next year. But take care that this technology has gone public, and this means that the competition will become huge, and that these devices will spread and develop from now on. Combine this with the development of artificial intelligence, and we will have an amazing fantasy movie in which we are the heroes.


The Apple conference ended and this is the first conference in a long time in which we feel full, not only because of the release of a new terrible product from Apple, but all updates in all Apple systems are updates with many advantages, we will definitely be with you in the coming days, and let us enjoy this amazing news.
