The highly anticipated Apple Vision Pro mixed-reality headset is making waves with the recent release of new demo videos showcasing its sci-fi setup process and interface. While its steep price tag of $3,499 may be inaccessible to many, tech enthusiasts are excited about the innovative features it offers.
Running on Apple’s new visionOS, beta versions of the software have revealed videos of the Vision Pro setup process. One video posted by @M1Astra on X shows the futuristic ‘Persona Enrollment’ process, which is akin to the next-gen Face ID.
The ‘Persona’ feature will create a digital avatar for the user, allowing them to engage in video calls without the headset obstructing eye contact. The video demonstrates how the digital clone is created, portraying a unique and innovative experience.
The setup process for creating the digital ‘Persona’ involves holding up the Vision Pro to your face, allowing its TrueDepth cameras and LiDAR scanner to capture facial expressions and animate the avatar. Vision Pro beta videos also provide a glimpse of some of the backgrounds and input training for the device.
Apple Vision Pro brings a futuristic and eerie experience, as indicated by hands-on reviews. Additionally, popular apps are giving users a glimpse of the Vision Pro experience, such as Telegram founder Pavel Durov showcasing the expansion of emojis and videos on its platform for the headset.
Furthermore, the launch of the Vision Pro is set to include ‘spatial video’, contributing to Apple’s vision of a next-gen computing platform. There are also early rumors of the Vision Pro 2, suggesting a more affordable mixed-reality prospect in the future.
While the Vision Pro may be out of reach for many consumers, the release of further visionOS beta videos in the coming months will give a preview of what Apple envisions for the future of computing. With its elegant and futuristic interface, the Vision Pro is set to be a game-changer in mixed-reality technology.
