Apple has just announced a ground breaking new tech that seemlessly blends digital content with your physical space and like we said in the title, it will blow your mind.  They are calling it, “Vision Pro” and it looks like tech straight out of Ernest Cline’s sensational sci-fi novel, “Ready Player One.”

With Vision Pro, you have an infinite canvas that transforms how you use the apps you love. Arrange apps anywhere and scale them to the perfect size, making the workspace of your dreams a reality — all while staying present in the world around you. Browse the web in Safari, create a to-do list in Notes, chat in Messages, and seamlessly move between them with a glance.

Vision Pro has the familiar apps you know and love — transformed to live in your space. Like Safari, Photos, Music, and Messages. And with iCloud, your content is automatically synced with your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Bring your Mac wirelessly into Vision Pro with Mac Virtual Display. You can place it anywhere in space and use Vision Pro as an enormous, private, portable 4K display.  Vision Pro works with Bluetooth accessories like Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, which are great for things like complex spreadsheets and long emails.

A brand‑new App Store will launch with Vision Pro, featuring groundbreaking apps built for visionOS, as well as compatible iPad and iPhone apps.

Vision Pro can transform any room into your own personal theater. Expand your movies, shows, and games up to the perfect size while feeling like you’re part of the action with Spatial Audio. And with more pixels than a 4K TV for each eye, you can enjoy stunning content wherever you are — whether that’s a long flight or the couch at home.

All‑new Apple Immersive Videos are 180-degree 3D 8K recordings captured with Spatial Audio — putting you right inside the action and transporting you to places you’ve never been.  Your favorite movies and TV shows from Apple TV+ and other streaming services are available on Vision Pro.

Vision Pro is Apple’s first 3D camera. You can capture magical spatial photos and spatial videos in 3D, then relive those cherished moments like never before with immersive Spatial Audio. Your existing library of photos and videos looks incredible at remarkable scale. And panoramas wrap around you — making you feel like you’re standing right where you took them.

The top button makes it quick and easy to capture spatial videos or photos.  When you’re capturing a spatial video or photo, Vision Pro makes it clear to those around you that you’re recording.  Spatial videos and photos have incredible depth that lets you see into a moment. Expand them to get even closer to your favorite memories.

Vision Pro makes it easy to collaborate and connect wherever you are. FaceTime video tiles are life-size, and as new people join, the call simply expands in your room. Within FaceTime, you can also use apps to collaborate with colleagues on the same documents simultaneously.

In FaceTime, each participant appears in your space within a tile that you can adjust in scale. Spatial Audio makes the conversation feel more natural by placing each person’s voice in the location of their tile.  Your digital Persona allows others to see you while you’re wearing Vision Pro. It’s a dynamic, natural representation of your face and hand movements while you’re using FaceTime.

Share apps with others and use them together in FaceTime with SharePlay. You continue to see everyone in large video tiles while sharing an app.

If you are a Disney Plus subscriber, it will be available on Apple Vision Pro starting on day 1 of the product launch.  Check out this video with Disney’s Chief Executive officer,Bob Iger, to give you a small idea of what to expect.

Now comes the proverbial “slap in the face”…. Apple’s Vision Pro will be available for purchase online and in-store in the U.S. early next year, with additional countries to follow later in 2024…for $3499.  Yes it’s steep but the future will not be inexpensive so quit your complainin’!  We have already scheduled the surgery to donate one of our kidney’s towards the end of this year so we can be there opening day when Apple launches our next tech obsession, Vision Pro.
