A computer you wear like goggles? Yes, it's true-learn all about the new Apple Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro For Dummies is a practical guide to Apple's first new product in eight years. Considered a "spatial computer," Vision Pro lets you see your apps right in front of your eyes and interact with the interface using eye movement, hand gestures, and your voice. It fuses virtual reality, where you're completely immersed in a 360-degree digital space, with augmented reality, which lets you see the real world around you, but augmented (or enhanced) with digital information superimposed on top.
Futuristic, right?
This book helps you understand visionOS and get started with spatial computing. You'll find step-by-step instructions on using the device, navigating its interface, discovering its deep feature set, and using all the integrated applications. The Dummies series is your trusted tech mentor, and we're here to get you up to speed with the all-new Vision Pro.

System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Install the free reader Adobe Digital Editions prior to download (see eBook Help).

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
