It is expected that Apple will launch the Vision Pro AR headset on February 2

CUPERTINO, California-Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:) has formally disclosed the date of release for the much awaited augmented reality (AR) headset, the Vision Pro. The tech giant started taking pre-orders for the new gadget on January 19, with a release date of February 2. With its $3,500 suggested retail price and cutting-edge capabilities like hand and eye tracking that let users capture and view video in three dimensions, the Vision Pro is set to provide an immersive media experience.

As a change from its usual splashy product launches, Apple has chosen a more quiet marketing approach for the Vision Pro. The corporation depends on technical evaluations and advertising to create excitement about the product instead of holding large launch events. This strategy is an attempt to let the sophisticated features and the promised experience of the product do the talking.

Apple is attempting to carve itself a niche by highlighting its spatial computing capabilities and avoiding the term “metaverse,” which has been used to some rival products, while entering an AR market that has seen an 8.3% decline in the past year. Apple is constantly cooperating with developers worldwide to improve the Vision Pro’s features in an effort to increase its appeal.

Apple has formed a content relationship with Disney to improve the Vision Pro’s content ecosystem. Through this partnership, the entertainment value of the headset will be increased by producing unique movie experiences for customers of Disney’s streaming app. However, Netflix (NASDAQ:) has made the decision not to develop a native app for the Vision Pro. Rather, Vision Pro subscribers will be able to access the streaming service via a web browser version, suggesting that the streaming giant is taking a more measured approach with this new augmented reality platform.
