Although they’ve been in a hurry for many years, Apple’s Mixed Reality Glasses are already a reality after WWDC23, which will go down in history for doing “one more thing” (literally) with Apple Glasses. VisionPro. We It left us speechless on all the functions it integrates, and the virtual world that is generated and that overlaps the real world.
But the big problem with these glasses, and which is more than obvious, is the price. We all expected this product to be exorbitantly priced but in the end it exceeded all expectations at a cost of 3,499 dollars, which in USA will surely pass the 4,000 euro mark
Apple overprices the Apple Vision Pro, but that’s understandable
But at this price you have to wonder if the components that make up these new mixed reality glasses can justify this price. We must start from the assumption that it’s a completely innovative team within Apple and it obviously pays off. But it is also that it has high-end components and expensive production that also materialize in the final price.
We start with the screen, which is a fundamental element to show this virtual world with the physical reality, as well as to prevent users from feeling dizzy due to poor resolution. This is why Apple has chosen to an ultra-high resolution 23 million pixel display system.
In this way it is achieved that in each eye there is an image of a 4K screen, thanks to these micro-OLED panels which is also the first time they are used. These two screens in the mixed reality glasses will allow users to watch movies and TV shows or enjoy 3D movies.
Although in addition to the screen, the body is built in a piece of laminated glass which houses all the sensors and cameras. Specifically, it has 12 cameras, five sensors and six microphones, the information from which is processed by the new R1 chip
It is for all this that these glasses have a large amount of technology inside in terms of material. In this way this price can be justified, while thinking that it is exorbitant for this type of product and that makes it really inaccessible to many people who fell in love with what we saw in the keynote.
