Apple has officially announced that it will announce that the mixed reality headset Vision Pro will be officially launched in all U.S. Apple Stores and Apple’s official website on February 2nd, with pre-orders starting on Friday, January 19th.
For your information, Apple currently has two interactive solutions for game developers. The first is a full-gesture game, which simulates touching virtual buttons through sound feedback; the second is fully compatible The joystick controller can not only perform button operations but also visually track and position the device with a degree of freedom. The operating experience is similar to the PS VR joystick solution.
It is still unclear what the shape of Apple’s Vision Pro handle will be. Currently known demonstrations all use eye control + finger selection operation methods, as well as voice communication with Siri. However, this control method does lack some accuracy for games that require high response speed.
Apple first released the Vision Pro headset at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June last year, priced at US$3,499. The Vision Pro has a single-eye resolution of 4K and allows users to use the headset.
The 256GB storage version of Vision Pro starts at US$3,499. Apple also announced the price details of lens inserts: Zeiss optical lenses (reading glasses) are sold for US$99, and Zeiss optical lenses (prescription glasses) are sold for US$99. The price is US$149.
