During Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference today, Apple unveiled Apple Vision Pro, a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with the physical world, while allowing users to stay present and connected to others.
Vision Pro creates an infinite canvas for apps that scales beyond the boundaries of a traditional display and introduces a fully three-dimensional user interface controlled by the most natural and intuitive inputs possible — a user’s eyes, hands, and voice. Featuring visionOS, the world’s first spatial operating system, Vision Pro lets users interact with digital content in a way that feels like it is physically present in their space.
The breakthrough design of Vision Pro features an ultra-high-resolution display system that packs 23 million pixels across two displays, and custom Apple silicon in a unique dual-chip design to ensure every experience feels like it’s taking place in front of the user’s eyes in real time.
Speaking today, Iger said, “We believe that Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary platform that can make our vision a reality.” Disney showed off examples of how the Apple Vision Pro will enable Disney’s stories and content to come to life “in ways that were previously impossible.”
Disney showcased films, television shows, and even parts of a digitized Walt Disney World using the Apple Vision Pro. Upon experimenting with Apple Vision Pro, Iger expressed that the most impactful realization was its capability to facilitate Disney in devising, “Deeply personal experiences, that will bring fans closer to the characters they love, and more deeply immersed in Disney stories.”
Walt Disney Imagineer Scott Trowbridge said via Twitter, “Congrats to my friends and colleagues on the Apple Vision Pro announcement today! While most of you have been working on this for YEARS more than I have, I’m excited to continue to ideate on how to combine the best of Disney magic with the best of Apple technology.”
Iger announced that the Disney+ streaming platform will be available on day one of Apple Vision Pro. The product will launch in 2024.
