Last week, Apple announced that over 600 applications and games had been created to utilize the distinctive and powerful capabilities of its revolutionary spatial computer, Vision Pro.
Apple Vision Pro has made its way to the United States Apple Store locations and is transforming the way people work, communicate, connect, relive memories, and enjoy entertainment.
Following the announcement, the Apple team celebrated with excited customers who wanted to explore the ground-breaking product and take part in a new, guided demo experience that was only available at Apple Store locations around the United States.
With Apple Vision Pro, apps may expand beyond the confines of a traditional display thanks to its infinite canvas. It also features a powerful and user-friendly three-dimensional user interface that can be used by hands, eyes, and voice. With the help of spatial experiences on Vision Pro, users can turn any space into a personal theater for watching movies, TV shows, or sports; discover fresh ways to create, collaborate, and enjoy digital content; and go to exciting new places and gameplay environments.
Here are the range of spatial experiences created for this exciting new platform, according to Apple:
Enjoy the Best Seat in the House
Apple Vision Pro features ultra-high-resolution displays that deliver more pixels than a 4K TV for each eye, so users can watch their favorite content on a 100-foot screen. Sports fans will love the viewing experience on Vision Pro, with apps like PGA TOUR Vision, which uses real-time shot tracking layered on top of 3D models of real golf courses alongside key stats — including leaderboards, scorecards, schedules, course information, and other tournament details — to bring the tour to life in a user’s space.
View Extraordinary Immersive Entertainment
Alongside Disney+, top entertainment apps have taken advantage of the unique capabilities of Apple Vision Pro to offer all-new ways for viewers to view their favorite movies, shows, and more. IMAX delivers an awe-inspiring viewing experience for 2D and 3D content, featuring popular documentaries such as Deep Sky in IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio.
Work with Apps on an Infinite Canvas
Apple Vision Pro is an ideal productivity tool for everyday tasks. The three-dimensional user interface frees apps from the boundaries of a display so they can appear side by side at any scale, providing an infinite canvas for multitasking and collaboration. Vision Pro users can pair a Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, or bring the powerful capabilities of Mac into Vision Pro with Mac Virtual Display to create the ultimate workspace.
Play Fun Games in All-New Ways
Apple Vision Pro delivers fun and rewarding gameplay for players of all skill levels. Players can dive into games on the App Store that transform the space around them, use an Environment for a more immersive experience, or play compatible games on a screen as large as they want. To support a wide variety of games and spatial experiences, Vision Pro works seamlessly with popular game controllers, including PlayStation DualSense and the Xbox Wireless Controller.
Explore New Places
Entirely new experiences designed for spatial computing help Apple Vision Pro users discover places in incredible ways. Hold the World transports users to London’s Natural History Museum with Sir David Attenborough to explore rare specimens from its world-famous collection, and The Archive takes users to a different place to explore immersive locations, artifacts, and spatial media from the beloved mythology of Star Trek’s Gene Roddenberry and other legendary creators. Apps like Voyager by ForeFlight give spatial context to the coordinated nature of air traffic control, creating the ultimate playground for aviation enthusiasts, and CARROT Weather uses 3D weather maps to deliver hilariously twisted forecasts.
Learn with Apps in Fun New Ways
Apple Vision Pro offers users an immersive, three-dimensional learning environment with apps like solAR, which brings the wonders of the solar system right to a user’s doorstep, or Sky Guide and Night Sky, which transport users into their own personal planetarium. Users can even explore the red planet through the eyes of one of the three NASA rovers currently on the surface with Exploring Mars.
Create New Music Experiences
Many popular apps have created unique experiences designed just for Apple Vision Pro, like djay, which allows users to mix their favorite music on two hyperrealistic 3D turntables. NowPlaying explores hidden stories behind music and enhances the listening experience, and video and audio streaming service STAGE+ allows users to get up close to the world’s greatest classical musicians like never before. Apps like Spool create amazing music videos with studio-quality visual effects and unique and immersive editing tools, while Animoog Galaxy lives alongside users in a physical space, infusing it with constantly evolving sounds and colors. AmazeVR Concerts brings users into the front row of high-quality concerts featuring live action footage of their favorite artists in stunningly rendered 3D VR environments. And with tappr.tv, users can discover new music, create choreography, and more.
Discover, Visualize, and Shop in All-New Ways
The powerful capabilities of Apple Vision Pro unlock highly immersive and dynamic shopping experiences like never before. J.Crew Virtual Closet and Mytheresa: Luxury Experience are reimagining shopping with live consultations and new ways to share looks with friends on FaceTime. Decathlon helps shoppers view, choose, and buy products, and see them in 3D in their personal environment. Home improvement apps like Lowe’s Style Studio take advantage of spatial computing to let users design the perfect kitchen right before their eyes, and Wayfair Decorify helps them quickly and easily redesign their spaces. House hunters can use Zillow Immerse to get an up-close look inside select listings with virtual home tours and interactive 3D floor plans.
Stay in the Present Moment
With Apple Vision Pro, users can immerse themselves in private and calm spaces with apps that help them reflect, breathe, and focus. Mindfulness apps like Healium bring beautifully designed experiences to Vision Pro users, helping them relax and build resilience by creating stress-reducing memories of nature-based escapes. Lungy: Spaces guides users through interactive breathing exercises and sound-based, active meditation, while wellness app Odio brings users into their own personal sonic cocoon with spatial soundscapes that transport them to a realm of calm and tranquility. Endel creates a new audiovisual experience with immersive light and sound, perfect for Vision Pro.
