Apple Vision Pro is a spatial computing device introduced by Apple, designed to create immersive experiences by blending digital content with the physical world. It runs on visionOS, which supports a variety of applications and use cases, from productivity and design to health and entertainment.

Key Features and Use Cases:

  1. Device Management: Vision Pro can be managed similarly to iPhone and iPad using familiar device management infrastructure. It supports both device enrollment and user enrollment, making it suitable for enterprise deployment (What’s new in device management).

  2. Enterprise APIs: Vision Pro offers APIs that allow developers to optimize performance by balancing compute power, thermal usage, and battery life. This is particularly useful for applications requiring high fidelity and complex 3D designs (Introducing enterprise APIs for visionOS).

  3. Spatial Computing: Vision Pro supports spatial computing, enabling developers to create apps that interact with the user's environment. This includes advanced scene understanding, object tracking, and room anchors (Platforms State of the Union).

  4. Health and Wellness: Vision Pro integrates with HealthKit, allowing users to engage in immersive health experiences. For example, users can reflect on their feelings in an immersive space and save their reflections to HealthKit (Get started with HealthKit in visionOS).

  5. Comfort and Usability: Vision Pro is designed to be comfortable for extended use, with minimal physical movement required. Apps can be designed to be enjoyed without needing to walk around, making it suitable for various physical spaces (Design great visionOS apps).
