You can’t have missed the hype surrounding the launch of the Apple Vision Pro earlier this year. Since its release, it’s been turning heads at events we’ve run. There’s immense curiosity around it, so whether you’re a company looking to bring a cutting-edge experience to your event, or a private individual curious about what it can bring into your life, here’s an insight into what the Apple Vision Pro currently offers.
THE EXPERIENCE
Apple Vision Pro is unmatched in blending digital content with the real world at a technical quality that’s simply stunning. The experience is incredibly streamlined: just wear the headset, and that’s it – no physical controllers needed. Your eyes become the cursor, and your fingers the mouse. Look at an app, pinch your fingers, and you’re immersed a new world.
Interacting with content feels like something out of sci-fi movies of old. Think Minority Report with Tom Cruise manipulating video projections and graphics with hand gestures. You can experience something very similar with Apple Vision Pro. But what kind of content awaits? Let’s dive into it.
ENCOUNTER DINOSAURS
The perfect taster experience that packs a lot into a few minutes. Don your headset, push start then… nothing, you just see the room you’re in. But wait – what’s that? A butterfly flutters towards you and gently lands on your hand. Just as you start to feel a bit smug it flies off, and suddenly, a huge portal to a prehistoric land opens up right in front of you. A baby dinosaur scampers around. Cute right? That is until the real deal stomps into view, grunting and growling slowly towards you. The prehistoric giant steps right out of the portal and into your space, stopping inches from your face to give you a sniff.
Watching people’s reactions to this never gets old, and it always intrigues nearby onlookers all keen to try it out.
MINDFULNESS
Let’s say you’re at a busy work event, finding a quiet space to relax can be tricky right? Apple Vision Pro can help. It whisks you away to a calming world of soft light and flowing shapes that follow your breathing. So begins a guided meditation to help you switch off and relax.
For something more light hearted, there’s KUNG FU PANDA: SCHOOL OF CHI. Follow Po’s arm movements as he guides you through stress-relieving exercises, helping you achieve inner peace.
VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS
When’s your next holiday? While you wait why not transport yourself to Yosemite National Park, fly over a volcano or take a walk on the moon! These beautifully rendered living landscapes offer a whole menu of great places to explore, so realistic that the headset melts away. You’ll feel like you’ve truly been transported in mind and body. If you’re feeling sensible you can also use it to rehearse your latest presentation in a virtual conference room.
PRODUCTIVITY
We hear you, “A headset for work? Really?” Yes, really!
The Vision Pro’s unmatched definition and visual clarity makes it the first headset to make working in virtual reality not just possible but better. Put on your headset, and simply look at your MacBook to connect it. A giant virtual desktop is revealed, and with better visual quality than your MacBook screen.
With your virtual desktop up and running, you can open and arrange other apps all around your space… Safari, Discord, a game, whatever you need, and control it all using your real Mac keyboard and mouse. This is why Apple calls it a “Spatial Computing Device” rather than just an XR headset. Now you’ve got a full desktop setup, without monitors or cables, that fits right in your backpack.
The great thing about working in a virtual environment is that it blocks out distractions, and, let’s face it, people tend to leave you alone when you’re wearing a headset! Your productivity goes up, and once you’ve worked like this, you’ll wonder why you ever stared at tiny screens for so long.
MOVIES, TV & SPORT
Christopher Nolan has spent years saying that you need to see his films in the cinema to get the full experience. Well, with the Vision Pro, the cinema comes to you! Massive screens, immersive spatial sound, and none of the distractions. No noisy teens on their phones, no popcorn munchers.
Even sports are better. You’ll feel like you’re right there on the sidelines. It’s the most compelling way to experience sports without actually attending the match.
You can enjoy the big screen experience by logging into your usual streaming services on the virtual Safari app, but things get even better on the Apple TV+ and Disney+ dedicated apps. Let’s take a look.
APPLE TV+
With ‘Apple Immersive Studio,’ Apple TV+ delivers breathtaking worlds of action, movies, documentaries, travel, sports, and more. Just a few examples:
- Step into THE ALICIA KEYS REHEARSAL ROOM and spy on her band during rehearsals.
- Explore a prehistoric world in Jon Favreau’s PREHISTORIC PLANET IMMERSIVE, inspired by his BBC natural history series.
- Launch the aerial travel series ELEVATED to fly ver some of the world’s most jaw dropping locations
DISNEY+ & MARVEL
The immersive experience is taken up yet another notch on Disney+. You can stream their entire catalogue, with many titles formatted in immersive 3D. But here’s the twist: you can watch them inside iconic environments, like Hollywood’s El Capitan Theatre or the scare floor from Monsters Inc. The lights go down then the film starts, just like a real cinema.
Disney doesn’t stop there. Enter their first-ever immersive interactive story, Marvel Animation’s WHAT IF reimagines events in the Marvel story canon. You don’t just watch it; you *play* a leading role. Characters look you in the eye as you interact with them, deciding the fate of the Marvel Universe. It’s part game, part movie, and completely addictive.
