Apple's latest announcement at WWDC 2024 is set to shake up the tech world once again. The company revealed that its groundbreaking Vision Pro headset will soon be available in eight new countries, expanding its reach and bringing the magic of spatial computing to even more customers.
Starting with a rollout in China, Japan, and Singapore on June 28, followed by Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom on July 12, anticipation is high as pre-orders kick off on June 13 and June 28, respectively. With its previous availability limited to the U.S. and select developer locations worldwide, this global expansion marks a significant milestone for Apple's spatial computing ambitions.
Apple CEO Tim Cook expressed excitement about the overwhelming enthusiasm for the Vision Pro, highlighting its potential to unlock new possibilities in various aspects of daily life. From collaborative workspaces and immersive entertainment experiences to innovative spatial interactions, the Vision Pro aims to redefine how users engage with technology.
Accompanying the hardware launch is the release of VisionOS 2, the latest iteration of the operating system powering the Vision Pro. Boasting productivity enhancements and new immersive experiences, VisionOS 2 introduces features like spatialized photos and enhanced navigation options, enhancing the overall user experience.
Developers can also look forward to new tools and APIs that make app development for the Vision Pro more accessible and versatile. With around 2,000 native apps already available, the Vision Pro ecosystem continues to evolve, offering users a diverse range of applications and experiences.
In addition to hardware and software updates, Apple is expanding its immersive content offerings with new partners and collaborations. From sports series to scripted features, the company is working with industry leaders to push the boundaries of immersive storytelling and content creation.
As VisionOS 2 prepares to roll out as a free update later this year, the future of spatial computing looks brighter than ever. With the Vision Pro at the forefront of this revolution, Apple is poised to shape the next chapter of immersive technology.
