Furthermore, visionOS will encompass educational apps, featuring specialized software for medical and engineering purposes. For instance, a medical app allows users to examine detailed renders of the human body, while an engineering app facilitates visualizing complex physics phenomena.
Although visionOS appears to be an enterprise-oriented tool reminiscent of Microsoft HoloLens, Apple has also incorporated impressive entertainment features. At launch, the Vision Pro will support Disney Plus and over 100 games through Apple Arcade. Users can expand the virtual screen to cinematic proportions, immerse themselves in 3D movies, and even replace the background environment with various settings.
While the gaming aspect was not extensively showcased during the keynote, it is known that visionOS supports gamepads such as the PS5 DualSense controller. Apple’s intention seems to be providing a holistic experience rather than positioning the headset as a dedicated gaming computer. A Star Wars VR adventure set in The Mandalorian universe was revealed, but action-packed experiences like lightsaber duels were not prominently featured.
