It’s been a few weeks since Apple introduced the Apple Vision Pro, its revolutionary augmented/mixed reality viewer which in full isolation mode can also be imagined as a virtual reality headset. Although, if we stick to the definition given by the company itself, it is much more, as they define it as the world’s first space computer, something that makes sense, since it does not need to be connected to other devices to function, unlike other viewers.

Apple showed us some very interesting aspects of the device, but as always in these cases we still have many doubts about it and as is also common, rumors, leaks and other sources of information will clarify these doubts even before its arrival on the market, which, as they told us in the presentation, will take place at the beginning of next year, initially only in the USA.

A very interesting source of information about Apple Vision Pro will be its SDK, a viewer app development kit already released by the Cupertino company, with the intention of allowing developers who wish to start working on specific viewer apps, as well as adapting those already offered on other Apple devices to this new device. And it’s these types of tools that allow us to learn a lot about the devices they were designed for.

So with The Apple Vision Pro SDK is now available for interested developersThese are some of the most interesting aspects we were able to find out:

• travel mode: This is something we understood already in the presentation and it was confirmed with the SDK. Apple’s space computer will have a travel mode that the user will have to activate when using a means of transportation. Its main reason is that the system adapts to the effect of displacement on the Apple Vision Pro sensors. Of course, it also states that some features will be limited when this mode is activated.
• spatial limitation: Apple decided that when the user uses the browser in VR mode, i.e. with complete isolation from the surroundings, an area of ​​three by three meters is created around it, and when the user approaches its limits, it starts to show the exterior. Although it is not explicitly stated, we can understand that the reason for this restriction is to prevent accidents.
• visual search: thanks to cameras and external sensors, Apple Vision Pro can scan the environment in which it is used, helping us identify objects and read texts in it. So, for example, we will be able to have live translation features, copy and paste real-world text into a document, and open printed links, among other things.
