More about the headset
Anyone ordering an Apple Vision Pro will have to complete a face scan using an iPhone or iPad with Face ID.The scan will determine the best Light Seal and head band sizes to help ensure a precise fit.
Apple has also partnered with ZEISS to develop the "ZEISS Optical Inserts" that magnetically attach to the Apple Vision Pro.
The Apple Vision Pro has generated great interest since its initial reveal in 2023.
At the Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple also unveiled the upcoming VisionOS 2, the successor to the Apple Vision Pro's current operating system.
Among its capabilities is a feature that allows users to transform existing photos into "spatial photos", giving them a three-dimensional effect.
Users will be able to update their devices to VisionOS 2 free-of-charge starting this fall.
