The Vision Pro is equipped with an array of cameras and sensors, meticulously positioned to deliver a seamless augmented and virtual reality experience. Exterior cameras serve multiple functions, including recording videos of the surroundings, measuring distances, and tracking hand movements. Meanwhile, infrared (IR) illuminators and TrueDepth cameras enable real-time 3D data processing, enhancing the accuracy of spatial mapping and object recognition.
Internally, the Vision Pro boasts high-speed IR cameras and LED illuminators dedicated to eye-tracking. This advanced system monitors eye movements and enables the device to accurately track and respond to users’ gaze. Such precise eye-tracking technology allows for intuitive interactions and a more immersive user experience.
Superior Display and Performance
At the core of the Vision Pro are two micro OLED Apple silicon 4K displays, boasting a total of 23 million pixels. With the aim of simulating human vision, each display, roughly the size of a postage stamp, is equipped with a 3-element lens. This configuration allows for exceptional clarity and sharpness, effectively wrapping the display around the user’s field of view.
The power to drive this immersive experience comes from Apple’s M2 chip, which can also be found in select MacBook models. Complementing the M2 chip is a dedicated R1 chip responsible for handling data from the multitude of sensors, ensuring minimal latency. The R1 chip seamlessly streams images to the lenses in an astounding 12 milliseconds, providing an incredibly responsive experience.
