From multitasking to turning into an interior decorator: Things you can do with Apple Vision Pro

Every time Apple launches a new product, there’s quite a lot of buzz. But what happens when Apple enters a new product category? The buzz becomes a constant whir with people talking a lot — more than they actually should — about it on social media at least. That’s what is happening with the Apple Vision Pro. Apple Vision Pro promises to be more than just a fancy headset as it blends augmented reality and virtual reality.It looks funny when someone is actually wearing the headset, which might lead to the question “what purpose does it serve”? Here we list out 10 use cases of the Apple Vision Pro:

The multitasker

If you’ve seen social media posts of Vision Pro in action, you would know what it can do. Vision Pro creates multiple virtual screens, allowing you to attend a meeting in the pristine beaches of Boracay Islands while simultaneously helping your child with their homework and catching a bit of NBA action. All this is down to the visionOS and its 3D interface. It is like having an infinite screen real estate. Throw in the support for Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, you can use your Mac and watch content at the same time.

For those long flights

If you are wearing a Vision Pro on a flight then you can take your entire content library with you. No more relying on bad choices the airlines forces you to watch or even ensuring you’ve downloaded enough content on your iPad. Vision Pro uses micro-OLED technology to pack 23 million pixels into two displays. Apple has also used a new chip which processes input from 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones to ensure that content feels like it is appearing right in front of the user’s eyes, in real time.

Vision Pro actually allows you to stream multiple sports and you can have a lot of screens. There’s a cricket match, F1 race and football on at the same time? Fret not as long as you have $3500 to spare for the Vision Pro. Also, there are two amplified drivers inside each audio pod, which deliver Personalised Spatial Audio based on the user’s own head and ear geometry.

The entertainment companion

One of the best use cases of the Vision Pro is watching movies or TV shows. It is quite an incredible experience as it turns your surroundings into a proper immersive theatre-like space. It features two ultra-high-resolution displays and can transform any space into a personal movie theatre with a screen that feels 100 feet wide and an advanced Spatial Audio system.

You can view your entire photo library on iCloud in a lot of detail. If you have taken a panoramic shot you’re proud of, then on Vision Pro viewing it will look like if you re actually standing there. Apple Vision Pro has Apple’s first 3D camera which allows users to capture, relive, and immerse themselves in old pictures. Talk about old wine, new bottle, right?

Turns you into an interior decorator

Ever agonise over paint colours? Vision Pro lets you virtually paint your living room that shade of green (or any other questionable shade) before committing. You can see how the colour will look before actually picking one. A word of advice: stick to the conventional choices.

Go somewhere without actually going there

Yes, it does not match the real thing but the Vision Pro transports you to exotic locales. Ever imagine doing yoga on Everest? With Vision Pro, you can actually do that. There’s a feature called Environments, which allows users to turn their spaceWith Environments, a user’s world can grow beyond the dimensions of a physical room with dynamic landscapes.

For the home chefs

Vision Pro projects holographic recipes onto your kitchen counter, guiding you through culinary masterpieces (or at least preventing another ramen night). Just don’t blame the headset if your “gourmet” creation ends up looking like a science experiment gone wrong.

Imagine having a French tutor who follows you around Paris, correcting your croissant pronunciation in real-time. Vision Pro overlays language lessons onto the real world, making it easy to not embarrass yourself by mispronouncing Champs-Elysses.
Be there in reality
Apple Vision Pro also features EyeSight, which helps users stay connected with those around them. When a person approaches someone wearing Vision Pro, the device feels transparent — letting the user see them while also displaying the user’s eyes. When a user is immersed in an environment or using an app, EyeSight gives visual cues to others about what the user is focused on.
