We still don’t have a launch date for the Apple Vision Pro, but it won’t take long given that Apple has been committed to sometime early 2024, although it seems only in the USA. We have more information on what we’ll see when they become available. And all this thanks to the fact that the beta version of VisionOS is available to developers using the Apple Vision Pro Developer Kit.
With developers able to tinker with Apple’s Vision Pro SDK, we can take a look at some of the internal files included in VisionOS Beta 6. While we already knew many of the details of the interface and operation, the latest beta version includes several videos to help users set up the glasses.
These videos, and especially the launch video, give us an idea of what Vision Pro users will see first. And because the Apple Vision Pro is unlike any other device Apple has introduced, the company has beefed it up training programs which will help the user learn how to use the device.
The most exciting new feature in VisionOS beta 6 is showing users how to navigate the VisionOS interface, perhaps one of the most incredible changes to Apple’s glasses experience.
The beta version of VisionOS includes videos that teach the user how to use Apple Vision Pro.
An introductory video, just 35 seconds long, walks through the setup process, teaching users how, by simply looking at on-screen elements such as app icons, they can navigate and tap on the interface using a two-finger tap gesture. Essentially, this is a video very similar to what the company showed at the official presentation of Apple Vision Pro, but with narration:
Your eyes and hands are how you navigate Apple Vision Pro. You navigate the system by looking, and it responds to your eyes. Just look at an item and pinch your fingers to select it. This is similar to clicking on a Mac computer. To scroll, place your fingers together and move carefully. You can keep your hands where they are comfortable, such as on your lap.
Another beta video gives us a more detailed look at how users can create their 3D avatars for FaceTime calls using the glasses. The process is similar to registering a new face on an iPhone or iPad using Face ID. You just need to hold the Vision Pro and point it at your face, then move your face sideways, up and down, smile and wink. And you’re done.
We’ll likely see more videos as the release gets closer. And not just the glasses themselves, since Apple usually posts a tutorial video on its website or its official channels when it introduces a new product.
