News & Reviews:   Apple Vision Pro

Apple Vision Pro is the most advanced mixed-reality headset ever sold to the public to date. The headset runs the visionOS operating system and Apple is marketing this product as a spatial computer rather than for AR/VR. Since its launch, there have been 600 applications developed specifically for Vision Pro which cost tens of thousands of ringgit.

If you frequently use a PC, you might be familiar with the VLC media player. Recently, the President of the developer studio behind the media player confirmed the app will arrive on Apple Vision Pro. That said, what should you know about it?

At the moment, the Apple Vision Pro is only available in the US but it seems that Apple is planning to expand it to other countries soon. According to MacRumors, a code was discovered on the Vision Pro's virtual keyboard with new language and emoji support. 

It's not often you hear surgeons wearing an AR headset while performing surgery. In London, England, a surgical assistant, Suvi Verho was using an Apple Vision Pro and said it was a "groundbreaking change".

Did you know? The Apple Vision Pro has more than 600 apps not including YouTube, Netflix, and even Google services. These three big companies have previously stated that there are no plans to develop apps for Apple's headset but it seems that YouTube has made a u-turn. 

This news might be useful if you own the Apple Vision Pro. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, you might have to visit the official Apple retailer or Apple Store if you forgot your passcode. So, what should you know about it?

With the Apple Vision Pro soon to be released, you may wonder, "What exactly can I do with this?" Previously, you'd mostly get the broad strokes of what the device can achieve. But now we have news on specific apps it supports.

As announced way back in June 2023, Apple revealed the Apple Vision Pro and it now has a release date. It will be launching in the US on 2 February 2024 and pre-orders will begin on 19 January at 5 AM PST, at the price of $3499 with 256GB of storage. That's roughly around ~RM16,245 after a direct currency exchange.

Technology changes rapidly and with the start of 2024, world-changing technologies are just on the horizon (just like last year, only different ;)). With us just being in the first week of January 2024, we take a look at the Top 4 upcoming tech trends in 2024.

If you looked at the Apple Vision Pro and thought, "I need an alternative", you're probably not alone. But besides the Meta Quest series headsets, the other option would be the Samsung Extended Reality (XR) headset, which might not arrive on schedule.
