This week’s FWD covers the latest from Apple’s annual Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC). Apple announced a host of new updates and developments at the event, including the highly anticipated first iteration of the mixed reality glasses, ‘Apple Vision Pro’.
Welcoming the era of spatial computing, Apple Vision Pro “seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space”, which lets the user experience both VR and AR experiences, with simplified eye and finger controls to interact, digital elements that respond to real-world cues, and immersive AR elements.
Users navigate the technology “simply by using your eyes, hands, and voice”, and the device will be available early next year in the U.S.
