Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is happening this week, that exciting time of year when Apple users are eager to know what’s next for their beloved devices, whether that’s iPhone or Mac or AirPods. This week, Apple has unveiled their new augmented reality (AR) platform, “Vision Pro”. It promises to change the landscape of virtual reality interaction.
With Vision Pro, instead of just looking at a screen, you are looking through three-dimensional space. You’ll be able to see, hear, and interact with digital content just as you would in the physical world. You’ll be able to control it with natural gestures using your eyes, hands, and voice.
With Vision Pro you’ll be able to utilize your apps in any size you want and immerse yourself in images and videos. Spatial audio promises next-level streaming, while you can socialize and connect with people from afar as if you’re in the same room.

The following are the design specs for the new Vision Pro product:
