Do not dismiss Apple's pricey new headset too prematurely
Apple has unveiled its Vision Pro mixed-reality headset, which promises to reduce the intrusiveness of the technology as much as possible. The device, which costs $3,499 and is set to go on sale next year, allows the wearer's eyes to be visible to others, and a dial allows the level of immersion to be adjusted. Navigation is controlled using the wearer's eyes and hands, while the device's operating system, visionOS, is similar to that used by the iPad and iPhone. The headset has raised the profile of mixed-reality computing and has been described as a potential new computing platform.
