Apple Vision Pro hands-on: A new milestone for mixed reality
Tech giant Apple has unveiled a much-anticipated augmented reality headset, Apple Vision Pro, in its first major hardware launch for almost a decade.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said the new headset 'seamlessly blends the real world and the virtual world'.
The tech giant also announced its latest iPhone operating system, as well as updates to MacBook Air.
The Vision Pro headset has a two-hour battery life, costs 3,499 US dollar (£2,849) and will be released early next year in the United States.
The cost is considerably more than virtual reality headsets currently on the market. Previous week Meta announced its Quest - which costs 449 dollar.
Apple Vision Pro looks different to similar headsets on the tech market - and is more reminiscent of a pair of ski goggles than a virtual reality headset.
Users can access apps, watch movies, and write documents in a virtual world. But so far, there is little evidence of a big market for this kind of wearable tech.
