Apple unveiled 600 new apps and games specifically designed for the headset, in addition to the one million existing apps on the App Store already compatible with the device.
The Vision Pro headset introduces an augmented reality canvas, allowing users to interact using their eyes, hands, and voice. Primarily, the headset enhances media consumption by transforming the user’s environment into a personalized theater for watching sports, TV shows, and films. Explore some of the 600 announced apps that leverage the device’s advanced capabilities to offer unique experiences.
Starting this Friday, Apple stores across the United States will begin offering the Vision Pro, the tech giant’s latest headset priced at $3,499. This marks Apple’s first significant product release since the introduction of the Apple Watch nine years ago.
Revolutionizing your sports viewing experience
The Apple Vision Pro boasts high-resolution displays that deliver over 4k TV worth of pixels to each eye.
This allows users to enjoy content on a virtual screen equivalent to a colossal 100-foot display. Specifically, apps like PGA TOUR enhance golf-watching by providing real-time shot tracking overlaid on 3D models of golf courses. Essential details such as leaderboards, scorecards, schedules, and tournament specifics are presented in an interactive format.
Experience Streaming Like Never Before
For basketball enthusiasts, the NBA app introduces Multiview, enabling users to stream up to five different broadcasts simultaneously. This feature allows fans to monitor real-time player and team stats while keeping an eye on other games and scores.
Similarly, the MLB app immerses users in a baseball stadium experience, offering a view from the home plate and providing detailed statistics for each pitch. The Apple Vision Pro aims to redefine how users engage with sports content.
The capabilities of the Apple Vision Pro will be harnessed by streaming apps such as Disney+ and Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max, offering users a novel and enhanced way to enjoy their favorite movies, shows, and more.
