Apple officially entered the augmented reality (AR) headset market on Monday with the unveiling of Vision Pro, a move that was highly anticipated.

The announcement was made at the tech giant’s annual Developers Conference, attracting the attention of tech enthusiasts and industry professionals. The Vision Pro, priced at $3,499, is Apple’s first significant product launch since 2017 and promises to revolutionize how we interact with technology.

Unique user interaction is one of the Vision Pro’s distinguishing characteristics. Tim Cook, chief executive officer of Apple, boasted that the device is the first Apple product you gaze through rather than at.

Apple has created a whole new market with Vision Pro.

Using the wearer’s eyes, hands, and voice, this cutting-edge apparatus offers a seamless and immersive augmented reality experience. Users can anticipate having complete control over the device, opening up a world of new opportunities.

The CEO of XRAI Glass, Dan Scarfe, expressed admiration for the device but expressed concern about its price. “This is a premium ultra-luxury product, but for those who can afford it, it is one of the most incredible pieces of technology I’ve ever seen,” he said.

Despite the enthusiasm encircling the Vision Pro, Scarfe acknowledged the impending difficulties. Currently, AR technology’s pervasive proliferation is hampered by a prominent obstacle: battery life.
Scarfe remarked,

“At this time, battery life is the single largest obstacle to widespread adoption of this technology.” We noticed for the first time that Apple had a wire coming out of the rear of these glasses and leading to a battery pack. This is Apple’s acknowledgment that it is physically impossible to fit all of this into a headset at this time.
However, he remains optimistic that future advancements in battery technology will pave the way for more compact and self-contained devices, thereby resolving thermal and heat-related concerns.
