Apple\u2019s recently unveiled Vision Pro is a technology created by humans for humans.<\/p>\n

Two features about the product stand out. First, the Vision Pro is both virtual and augmented reality. It allows you to be totally engrossed in the virtual world (the VR part), but Apple
\n AAPL,
\n +1.51%<\/bg-quote>
\n went out of its way to also allow you to interact with the real world \u2013 people \u2013 while you have the headset on (the AR part). <\/p>\n

\n

In other words, if I am wearing my headset and my wife comes into the room with a question, my virtual world can interface with the real world \u2014 I can see my wife and talk to her as I pause my movie or continue talking to her while working on my wall sized spreadsheet, virtually projected between my couch and coffee table.<\/p>\n

Vision Pro is not a see-through device that looks like a ski mask. There is plastic and a lot of electronics standing between you and the outside world. This headset has 12 inward- and outward-looking cameras that capture the movements of your eyes and the world around you. This is the genius of Apple. It added a curved screen that displays your eyes (captured by the internal cameras). This screen makes the device look like a see-through unit. Thus, when your spouse is talking to you, she feels like she is seeing your eyes, though she is looking at the display of your eyes.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Meta Platforms\u2019s
\n META,
\n +3.08%<\/bg-quote>
\n Quest Pro, which only has VR and no AR, makes its device incredibly antisocial. It cuts you out of this world to the point where you cannot even drink coffee while you watch a movie.<\/p>\n

Second, and this really shows off Apple\u2019s creativity, Meta created cartoonish avatars to let people interact with each other in the metaverse. Apple took much more creative route. When you set up the Vision Pro, it asks you to point it toward you, and using its array of cameras, it creates a video image (almost like a hologram) of you. Thus, when you interact with folks inside the virtual, the cameras in the headset are capturing the muscle movements of your face and manipulating your \u201chologram.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vision Pro also underscores the moat that surrounds Apple\u2019s ecosystem. There is continuity among all Apple devices and applications. You can start writing a message on a MacBook or iMac, continue on an iPad, and finish it on your iPhone \u2013 or now on Vision Pro. You\u2019ll be able to bring apps that are running on your MacBook Air to your Vision Pro, except that instead of being constrained by a 13-inch screen, your only size constraint will be your imagination.<\/p>\n

Apple comes into this fight with an army of developers who are writing apps for its ecosystem. Also, a lot of apps that work on its other devices will work on Vision Pro. Apple is able to use the custom processors it created for Macs and iPads for Vision Pro. Because of its enormous scale, it can manufacture them cheaper than anyone else on the planet.<\/p>\n

For most of us, the price, $3,500, makes this device a nice but questionably affordable product. I am a bit less skeptical. I read somewhere that when the brick phone came out in the 80s it cost $11,000 in today\u2019s money. Now you can buy a phone that is 10,000 times better for $30. Vision Pro will be adopted first by Apple fanatics and maybe by corporations. But I get a strong feeling that with Vision Pro, Apple has once again showed us what the future looks like.<\/p>\n
