With future trends, technology is diversifying into other regions. Like before, people loved to watch their favourite shows on TV and in theatres, but now they are shifting to VR headsets. I agree that a few companies have threatened to offer such VR headsets, but until today, there was no VR (Virtual Reality) headset that runs on its own OS and can perform many functions that no one ever expected.

Specifically, I’m talking about WWDC (World Wide Developer Conference) 2023, which will take place in Apple Park, Cupertino, California. This time around, developers have introduced the world’s leading VR headset called “Apple Vision Pro”. You will be surprised to know that, in addition to entertainment, Vision Pro also features productivity apps. So, let’s see what exactly is done.

Microsoft will bring Microsoft Office to Apple’s Vision Pro AR Headset

It is no longer possible for people to love old technology rituals anymore. Today, spatial computing is gaining a lot of dominance in the industry. For this reason, you can understand why Apple decided to develop their own AR and VR headset. The new Apple Vision Pro combines Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. If you don’t know, AR is more realistic whereas VR generates fictitious things.

If you look at the special features of Apple Vision Pro, you will find a lot of new things such as 3D layered responsive design, All new VisionOS, Displays Better than 4K, Apple Eyesight Trust, a specific chip for low latency, Realistic digital avatar and more things that today’s VR deserves. Apart from these features, Apple Vision Pro has support from several industry giants such as Apple TV, Disney Shows, and many others.

This Mixed Reality *Headset comes with unique navigation that you can control via Hand, Eyes and Face so that you face no difficulty. These are the things purely dedicated to features and entertainment. But I am glad to know that Microsoft has given support to Apple Vision Pro to use productivity apps like Microsoft Word, Excel and Teams over it. Apple, however, shows Excel and Word running inside Vision Pro.

Additionally, we found that Microsoft appears to be using the same ribbon interface as the web version. But for Teams, there is no such specific demonstration, but it has been confirmed that Microsoft will support Vision Pro’s 3D personas (a machine-learning technique to build a face virtually). Apart from them, Zoom and WebEx will also support these 3D personas on Apple Vision Pro Headset.

Moreover, Apple has thought some more to empower and make the AR’s $3,499 cost worth it by loading more features. I mean to say that apart from entertainment and productivity apps, the Apple Vision Pro will also have support for all “Unity” games, and Adobe is also planning to load Lightroom over this AR, so photo editing becomes easier with its quality navigation. Meanwhile, it would be a great deal to buy at this price.

Some of you may recall that Microsoft has their own VR headset (HoloLens), and that is why they support Apple’s Vision Pro. Then you should know that this is not the first time Microsoft has done something for Apple. Remember, they are the ones who made Office available to all new M1 Silicon chips and added Office support for Mac users. As Microsoft also wanted to make such an AR, but they can’t fulfil it. They saw the potential in this AR, and that’s why they are supporting it.

Conclusively, Apple Vision Pro seems to be the global AR headset leader in the coming days. For which, you have seen what Apple has done for it. It is also now confirmed that this AR will get a dedicated store to load apps. As of now, this is just an announcement, but more likely, Apple Vision Pro is expected to be publicly available in early 2024 but initially for US users. Later on, in other countries like India, it would be in the middle or late 2024. As of now, these are the unveiled details. Stay tuned with us for more updates.
