Apple unveils Vision Pro headset, developer tools, and virtual future

Apple's mixed reality headset called Vision Pro debuted with visionOS and a price tag of $3,500, aiming to redefine work and expand popular apps.
The device is modular and adjustable, with custom lenses, and can toggle between virtual reality and augmented reality.
Apple and Meta, which makes the Quest VR headset, have competing views of how mixed reality will shape the future, with Apple focused on productivity and Meta pursuing an immersive social metaverse.
Developers now have access to tools to build visionOS apps ahead of the Vision Pro launch in the U.S. in early 2024.
The Vision Pro's high cost and new interface pose challenges, but Apple has a history of successful product launches and improving on previous designs.
