Disney CEO Bob Iger appeared at WWDC to show the ways in which Disney characters like Mickey Mouse could appear in augmented reality on the headset.

In a huge move, Apple has partnered with Disney to make Disney+ available on the Vision Pro at launch. Because Apple gave early access to the Vision Pro to high-profile developers, Microsoft apps such as Excel and Word, for example, are already compatible. You’ll also be able to interact with existing Apple apps like Messages and Safari in different ways, such as pulling a 3D object out of Messages to view it on its own. When you slip the headset on, apps appear levitating in front of you, and you can select them using your eye movements, hand gestures, or voice.

The new headset supports apps, which you install from a new visionOS app store. The operating system on the device, visionOS, has a number of processes to specifically handle all the cameras and the timing needs to coordinate all the hardware packed into the headset. Whether that avatar has legs is currently unclear. Your persona is essentially a 3D capture of your likeness. When you set up the Vision Pro, it uses its cameras and sensors to create your “persona,” which will appear in FaceTime calls and other situations when you’re virtually “with” another person. The Vision Pro also has a 3D camera, which can record 3D-format video that you can rewatch on the headset. The Vision Pro has an M2 chip inside, as the latest Macs do, but it’s also powered by a new chip called the R1, which processes the data from 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones in real time. The headset tracks a tremendous amount of data using lidar, a TrueDepth camera, and many other cameras to track hand movement. Apple calls the technology “spatial computing,” and during the presentation, Cook likened it to a new generation of computing, much as the smartphone was. You control the Vision Pro through hand gestures, eye movements, and your voice.

At WWDC, Apple showed off the headset as a tool for running more interactive meetings and working with colleagues, but the company also demonstrated how the headset could create a portable cinema and gaming experience. The headset wirelessly and automatically connects to a Mac, and you can take over your computer’s desktop (as well as all of its processing power) when wearing the headset. The opacity ranges from an augmented reality view, where you can fully see your room through cameras (and people can see your eyes on the external display), to an opaque virtual reality mode that you can set for a more immersive experience.Īpple wants the Vision Pro to span work and entertainment.

The Apple Vision Pro has a feature called EyeSight, which lets you control the transparency of its display using a digital crown, much like on the Apple Watch. Those inserts will be sold separately, though, and it’s unclear how much they’ll cost.

Folks who wear glasses will be able to use the headset, too-Apple partnered with Zeiss to develop custom optical inserts to magnetically fit inside the display. Apple claims that it studied thousands of heads as part of its research in designing the headset. The headset has a thin braided cable that attaches to an external aluminum battery pack the size of a deck of cards, which the wearer can slip into a pocket. The display, which consists of a glass front and an aluminum frame, connects to a soft headband that the wearer can adjust for better fit or swap out. The Vision Pro is a headset designed by Apple, so it has a distinctly Apple aesthetic.
