Potential customers now get a more personal experience with the XR headset. (Eventually, that experience will include Apple Intelligence.)
Fresh off the news that Apple is working on a more affordable version of the Vision Pro, the company is making changes to boost slumping sales of its current VR headset.
According to Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, Apple this week will change how it shows off the Vision Pro headset to potential in-store customers. Further down the road, the company plans to bring Apple Intelligence to the Vision Pro.
As part of Apple’s 30-minute in-store demos, the company now will let people see their own photos, videos, and panoramas in VR. This may seem like a small change, but seeing your own media on the Vision Pro makes the in-store demo more of a personal experience and could lead to more sales. It’s probably not a coincidence this is coming just ahead of the visionOS 2 release this fall, which lets you turn a 2D photo into a spatial 3D photo.
