When the Apple Vision Pro Tim Cook and company showed it as the natural evolution of the iPhone, the next big step in the history and trajectory of Apple, the gadget that would represent a new era as the smartphone was at the time.
Under such a position, expectations skyrocketed until the ceiling burst, but with the passage of time we have been discovering that the Mixed Reality device, which mixes Augmented Reality (AR) with Virtual Reality (VR), at least in its first generation would have its serious limitations.
Beyond the price factor and the basic accessories that apparently will end up being sold separately, there is the detail of the autonomy of the device, which would have a somewhat limited battery.
But even so, as the beta versions of the new visionOS operating system have been released, we have been able to get a more concrete idea about what the experience of using the device would be like.
In fact, with the most recent version a video has been leaked so illustrative that many consider it as a “trick” to live the experience of using this gadget.
This is how you can “use” the Apple Vision Pro with this leaked video tutorial
The colleagues of 9to5Mac report some juicy details about the release of visionOS beta 6. Where some tutorial videos have been leaked that reveal for the first time how to configure and navigate through the Mixed Reality viewer.
In one of the 35-second videos, beta users learn how the Apple Vision Pro responds to eye movements and hand gestures. To navigate through system elements, users must look at them and then bring their fingers together to “click” on the objects:
“Your eyes and hands are how you navigate Apple Vision Pro. You navigate the system by looking and it responds to your eyes. Simply look at an item and pinch your fingers together to select it.
It’s like a click on your Mac. To scroll, put your fingers together and move gently. You can keep your hands where they are comfortable, such as resting on his lap.”
In another leaked video, beta users learn how to create a 3D Persona for FaceTime. To do this, they must remove the device, hold it at eye level and turn their head from side to side. The setup process even involves recording facial expressions, such as smiles and raised eyebrows.
In the end, these leaks help us clearly imagine what the user experience of this expensive device that still does not have a definitive release date will be like.
The Apple Vision Pro will be available for purchase to the general public early next year for a price of USD $3,500.
