It looks like this when Vision Pro is installed.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap04876.jpg)
Circular icons line up on the home screen.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap04904.jpg)
When you open the app it looks like this.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap04907.jpg)
Various operations are performed with 'eyes', 'hands' and 'voice'.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap04921.jpg)
Apps can be freely placed in space.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap04928.jpg)
It can also be displayed so as to surround the user.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap04941.jpg)
When you wear Vision Pro, the surrounding scenery is first displayed as a pass-through.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05018.jpg)
Then you will see the home screen.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05022.jpg)
Various interfaces have a three-dimensional effect.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05037.jpg)
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05039.jpg)
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05043.jpg)
You can freely adjust the size of the app.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05055.jpg)
You can change the position freely.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05056.jpg)
Since the apps are automatically arranged, the situation where 'apps overlap and are difficult to see' does not occur.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05068.jpg)
Instead of passing through the surrounding scenery, it also has an 'environment' function that displays arbitrary scenery.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05096.jpg)
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05109.jpg)
The degree of blending between the pass-through display and the 'environment' can be adjusted with the Digital Crown.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05115.jpg)
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05116.jpg)
Vision Pro can be operated with 'eyes', 'hands' and 'voice'. You can control the focus by moving your line of sight.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05165.jpg)
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05170.jpg)
Once you focus on the target with your gaze, you can select it by 'tapping between fingers'.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05178.jpg)
You can scroll by moving your finger up and down.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05181.jpg)
It is possible to operate in a relaxed posture like this.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05201.jpg)
If you match your gaze with the input field, voice input is possible.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05210.jpg)
You can also use Siri to launch apps and control media playback.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05214.jpg)
When it detects that there are people nearby, the 'user's eyes' are projected outside the Vision Pro. Apple calls this feature 'EyeSight'.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05236.jpg)
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05243.jpg)
When you are watching content intensively, your eyes will not appear outside the Vision Pro, giving you the information that you can't see your surroundings.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05261.jpg)
Also, when someone approaches, the figure of the person is projected on the screen of Vision Pro.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05270.jpg)
The display is very high definition and you can read fine print without any problems.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05363.jpg)
Vision Pro can be used by connecting a mouse and keyboard via Bluetooth. This makes it easy to use email and spreadsheet apps.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05451.jpg)
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap05453.jpg)

![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap06567.jpg)
Vision Pro is equipped with two types of processing chips to achieve 'low temperature and quietness' and 'high processing performance'. The first chip is 'M2' and can operate almost silently.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap06609.jpg)
And another chip is 'R1' specially designed for real-time sensor processing.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap06615.jpg)
The R1 processes input from 12 cameras, 5 sensors and 6 microphones in real time.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap06623.jpg)
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap06628.jpg)
R1 sends processing from 'camera' 'sensor' 'microphone' to the display within 12 milliseconds. As a result, it is possible to reduce phenomena such as 'VR sickness'.
![](https://i.gzn.jp/img/2023/06/06/vision-pro-apple-wwdc23/snap06640.jpg)
It is also possible to create a digital persona using the sensors installed in Vision Pro. Digital Persona will be used for video chat and other purposes.
