Apple has announced that their virtual computing headset, the Vision Pro, will soon be available to the public. However, there have been concerns about what apps will be available for the device. In an official post, Apple stated that the Vision Pro App Store will offer unique spatial computing experiences. Users will be able to scale apps to any size and arrange them in their field of vision.While major apps like Spotify, Netflix, and YouTube won't have native Vision Pro apps at launch, there are already over 1 million familiar apps that are compatible with the device. Some of the apps currently in development for productivity are Microsoft 365 apps, Fantastical, JigSpace, Slack, and Apple's Freeform. Communication apps such as FaceTime, Zoom, Cisco Webex, and Microsoft Teams will also be available.
The Vision Pro also has potential for entertainment, with streaming services like Apple TV Plus, Disney Plus, and HBO Max available upon launch. The device is capable of processing and displaying 180-degree, 3D, 8K content with spatial audio. Over 250 games will be available on the Vision Pro through Apple Arcade, and support for PS5 and Xbox wireless controllers will also be added.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has called the Vision Pro the most advanced consumer electronics device ever created. While virtual reality technology has had mixed reception, Apple's augmented reality headset could become a part of everyday life if more apps are developed and the price point becomes more affordable.
