Apple is working on a cheaper version of Visison Pro, to cut down on sensors, key features

Apple is reportedly restarting its work on a cheaper version of the Vision Pro AR/VR headset. Apple will price the budget Vision VR headset for between $1500-2000 and cut down on a number of sensors and key features that sets the Vision Pro apart from other AR/VR headsets Apple’s journey into the world of spatial computing appears to be expanding as recent reports suggest the tech giant is actively working on a more affordable iteration of its groundbreaking spatial computer. Bloomberg’s reliable tech insider, Mark Gurman, disclosed that the company is in the process of developing a lower-cost model, which would follow the debut of its inaugural offering, the Apple Vision Pro, introduced earlier this year. Furthermore, Gurman hinted at the potential reduction in the number of external cameras and sensors on the upcoming Apple Vision headset. The Apple Vision Pro boasted an impressive array of 14 cameras, a LiDAR scanner, infrared sensors, and LED illuminators, all designed to enhance the headset’s environmental awareness and provide a richer, more immersive experience, complete with finger-based gesture controls.
