Ye be lookin' to get up close wit' Vision Pro now, matey? The Apple Store AR experience be a fine way t' get a taste o' ownin' one, arrr!
Apple is giving users a taste of its highly anticipated Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset through its Apple Store App. The headset, which is set to launch on February 2, is Apple's first foray into the world of AR/VR. The AR rendering of the Apple Vision Pro on the app showcases the impressive occlusion capabilities of the device, allowing virtual objects to block the view of real ones behind them. The headset has received widespread interest despite its high price tag of $3,499.To access the AR experience, users need to open the Apple Store App on their iPhones or iPads, select the Vision Pro, and then tap 'View in your space'. By pointing their device's camera at a flat surface, such as a desk or table, users can see a translucent version of the Vision Pro appear. They can then manipulate and explore the headset using gestures, getting a close look at its features and materials.
However, the AR experience cannot replicate the feeling of spending a significant amount of money on the actual device. The article ends with a humorous note, highlighting that this virtual encounter with the headset cannot recreate the experience of the money leaving one's wallet.
