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 wide range of applications from productivity to entertainment. Vision Pro leverages advanced technologies such as spatial photos, immersive media, and machine learning capabilities through the Apple Neural Engine.

Key features and capabilities of Vision Pro include:

  • Spatial Computing: Vision Pro allows developers to create spatial apps that can detect planes in all orientations, anchor objects on surfaces, and track objects around the user. This enables new dimensions of interactivity and creativity in app experiences (Platforms State of the Union).

  • 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).

  • Enterprise APIs: Vision Pro offers enhanced sensor access, platform control, and the ability to run machine learning tasks on the Apple Neural Engine. This is particularly useful for enterprise applications that require high performance and detailed spatial interactions (Introducing enterprise APIs for visionOS).

  • HealthKit Integration: Vision Pro supports HealthKit, allowing users to engage in immersive health experiences and track their well-being in a spatial context (Get started with HealthKit in visionOS).

  • Comfort and Usability: Vision Pro is designed to be comfortable for extended use, with minimal physical movement required for interaction. This makes it suitable for a variety of physical spaces and user scenarios (Design great visionOS apps).

For more detailed information, you can explore the sessions mentioned above, which cover various aspects of Vision Pro and its capabilities.
