Apple recently unveiled a range of new products and services, including the highly anticipated and innovative AR headset Vision Pro. First things first;

What is Vision Pro? 

Vision Pro is a first-generation device from Apple. It is a mixed-reality headset, a significant advancement in computing technology. Apple calls this the first spatial computer. It uses iris authentication and runs on a new operating system called the Vision OS. 

With its advanced features and immersive capabilities, it's poised to revolutionize how we engage with digital content.

How does it work?

Most VR and AR headsets require external sensors to track controllers for accuracy, but Vision Pro differs. It doesn't need any controllers or extra accessories to operate. Instead, it can be controlled through your eyes, hands, and voice. 

The headset has multiple sensors, including cameras, infrared illuminators, and a lidar scanner, strategically placed to track your movements and surroundings. It also has a unique eye-tracking system to highlight and pinpoint even the smallest objects. Overall, Vision Pro offers a mindblowing and intuitive UI.

So now, let’s get to the burning question. 

What does Vision Pro do? 

Here’s a quick rundown of its most amazing features: 

VisionOS

The world’s first spatial operating system built on the foundation of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. It allows users to interact with digital content in a way that feels physically present in their space.

Spatial computing

Vision Pro is Apple's first spatial computer, introducing a three-dimensional user interface. It leverages natural and intuitive inputs like a user’s eyes, hands, and voice for interaction.

FaceTime becomes spatial

Users can use life-size tiles and Spatial Audio during FaceTime calls, while avatars called Personas reflect face and hand movements in real-time.

Ultra-high-resolution display

Features two displays that pack 23 million pixels and custom Apple silicon in a dual-chip design.

Infinite canvas for apps

Vision Pro gives apps freedom from the boundaries of a display. With support for Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, it enhances productivity with infinite screen real estate and new multitasking methods.

Engaging entertainments

 The device can transform any space into a personal movie theater with a screen that feels 100 feet wide. It offers advanced Spatial Audio systems and three-dimensional movies.

Immersive environments

 Users can create dynamic, beautiful landscapes that expand beyond the dimensions of a physical room.

Three-dimensional camera

 This feature allows users to capture and relive memories with Spatial Audio, providing a unique way to experience photos and videos.

Three-dimensional interface

The interface responds dynamically to natural light and casting shadows, helping users understand scale and distance.

EyeSight

This feature allows users to stay connected with others around them by providing visual cues about what they're focused on.

High-performance design

The device is built with advanced materials and includes a modular system for tailored fitting.

Unrivaled innovation in hardware

Vision Pro features micro-OLED technology for ultra-high-resolution display, ZEISS Optical Inserts for vision correction, an advanced Spatial Audio system, high-speed cameras for eye tracking, and a dual-chip design with M2 and R1 chips for superior performance.

Privacy and security

 The device includes Optic ID, a secure authentication system that uses a user's iris to unlock Apple Vision Pro. It respects user privacy by not sharing eye-tracking information with Apple, third-party apps, or websites.

How will Vision Pro impact the world of freelancing and remote work?

The release of Apple Vision Pro has opened up a new realm of possibilities in the world of computing, which could profoundly impact how freelancers and remote workers utilize technology in their work. Let's explore the major implications of this revolutionary spatial computing technology together.

Spatial computing could be a freelancer's dream

The innovation of the Vision Pro device lies in its emphasis on spatial computing, a feature that can potentially transform how we engage with digital realms. By seamlessly merging the physical world with digital content, this device could elevate the virtual experience and enhance remote work productivity. 

With the help of this technology, individuals who work remotely can easily take their virtual office with them, allowing them to work seamlessly, even in remote or off-grid areas. This presents the opportunity for a new age of digital inclusivity by making high-tech workspaces accessible to people living in regions with limited infrastructure.

More efficient multitasking

With the three-dimensional interface and a rich library of applications available from the start, including productivity and communication tools, Vision Pro could be a great solution for freelancers and remote workers. 

Interaction with digital content through touch, glance, and voice further enhances convenience. It eliminates the boundaries of a traditional display, enabling users to work on multiple tasks side by side at any scale. This means freelancers could run several applications concurrently, increasing efficiency and productivity.

Enhanced collaboration

The upgrade to FaceTime, which utilizes the room around the user, could revolutionize how remote workers collaborate. It offers a more immersive and realistic way to connect with colleagues or clients, which could increase engagement and productivity in meetings or collaborative projects.

A new era of creative work

For freelancers in creative fields, Vision Pro's three-dimensional capabilities could open up new avenues for innovation. Graphic designers, artists, and other creative professionals could leverage this technology to work in three dimensions, offering a whole new perspective and range of possibilities for their creations.

Online education and remote training became more fun

The Vision Pro could be particularly beneficial for remote training and education, enabling users to experience a more immersive, hands-on learning experience that could improve engagement and comprehension.

Privacy and security at its finest

Strong privacy and security measures, such as Optic ID and EyeSight, protect sensitive data, a critical consideration for freelancers and remote workers handling sensitive client information.

Workee and Vision Pro

As the go-to, all-in-one business management solution for freelancers, we couldn't help but explore the potential of how Workee could integrate with this groundbreaking device.

Now, envisioning how Workee could be integrated into Vision Pro's augmented reality capabilities, here are some potential scenarios:

Augmented reality multitasking 

Vision Pro could allow freelancers to engage in video calls while managing other business aspects within an augmented reality workspace. For example, they could have their Workee dashboard open in one part of their visual field, showing their upcoming appointments, and a video call in another, allowing them to stay connected while keeping an eye on their schedule.

AR client management

Using Workee on Vision Pro, freelancers could interact with client profiles and data more intuitively and visually. For instance, a tutor could pull up an AR version of their student's profile, visualizing contact information, lesson notes, etc., in a 3D space.

Integrated video calls

 In addition to using Workee Videos, freelancers could also opt to use Vision Pro's AR capabilities during their video calls. For instance, they could display AR graphs or models during a consulting call to better illustrate their points.

Conclusion

Apple's Vision Pro has the potential to revolutionize the way freelancers and remote workers carry out their work, leading to more efficient, effective, and inclusive remote work practices. Integrating Workee into Vision Pro's augmented reality capabilities could create a more immersive, intuitive, and efficient tool for freelancers to manage their businesses.
