Next Vision: PROJECT ALASKA TO BRING SPATIAL COMPUTING TO THE OPEN WORLD

Following the announcement of Vision Pro, Apple is now looking to redefine the spatial computing era with an affordable, consumer-focused headset for the masses.

INTRODUCING PROJECT ALASKA

Vision Pro marked Apple’s entry into mixed-reality headsets, a bold step that garnered widespread attention. The device, which is set to be released in early 2024 in select markets, is the company’s first product in another major category since the Apple Watch in 2015 and a lot is riding on its success. The Vision Pro is billed as a “spatial computer”, meaning that it is designed to integrate digital media with the real world and allow users to interact with it using physical inputs such as motion gestures, eye tracking, and voice input. Some of the most exciting features include an ultra-high-resolution display system with two 4K displays, one for each eye, and a powerful new R1 chip that delivers a virtually lag-free, real-time view of the world. An advanced Spatial Audio system is also included in the headset, designed to create the feeling that sounds are coming from the environment around the user.
