Apple has incorporated its first 3D camera into the Vision Pro, enabling users to capture special moments with added depth information. The camera also includes a privacy feature that indicates when recording is taking place. Additionally, the Vision Pro offers a dedicated mode for watching videos on a virtual screen, providing an immersive cinematic experience on a display that measures up to 100 feet wide. Gamers will be pleased to know that the Vision Pro supports over 100 titles from the Apple Arcade library and can be paired with a PlayStation 5 or Xbox controller for enhanced gameplay.
At WWDC 2023, Apple announced a partnership with Disney, teasing exciting experiences for the Vision Pro, including enhanced viewing options for Disney+ shows and augmented reality demos for basketball games. Although some of these demonstrations are still works in progress, Disney CEO Bog Iger confirmed that the Disney+ app will be available on the Vision Pro upon its launch.
To ensure security, the Vision Pro incorporates a new Optic ID authentication system, which utilizes a user’s iris for unlocking and signing into the device. Apple assures users that Optic ID data is fully encrypted and stored locally, with no information regarding a user’s gaze shared with third-party apps or websites.
