Apple Vision Pro is an augmented reality goggle

What exactly is this new category of devices that includes Apple Vision Pro?

Some people call them VR goggles (virtual reality goggles), although the term AR (augmented reality goggles) is actually a bit better suited. Because Vision Pro is primarily based on the ability to place virtual objects in real space.

Apple Vision Pro allows you to mix the real and virtual worlds. The goggles offer the ability to display various objects in three-dimensional space, and even entire desktops, on which you can freely arrange application windows and then use them as if their interfaces were right in front of your eyes. This way you can, for example, view e-mail, use a document editor, browse the Internet and even play games. Apple intends to deliver up to one million compatible applications to the Vision Pro platform.

Of course, you can completely cover your eyesight with these desktops and windows to ensure 100% visibility. lose yourself in the virtual world, but the goggles, on their monitors set at an appropriate angle, also allow you to display the real image and only mix it with digitally generated objects. There are a lot of possibilities here to adjust the character of the displayed image to your preferences
