What is Apple’s Vision Pro headset?
Apple Vision Pro is a significant technical achievement when compared to its competitors. The device features his two separate chips based on Apple Silicon.

This is supposed to reduce the nausea associated with such headsets.
The device also offers a significantly higher 4K display than the market on each lens piece. Some may be concerned that the battery pack life is his two hours, but given what a powerful device is, this seems like a necessary trade-off.
A few days before the WWDC event, Meta announced a new VR headset, the Meta Quest 3. Apple’s new headsets will take on these competitors, but it will be interesting to see how the market shapes. Meta’s devices are much cheaper, but have yet to reach full critical mass.
HoloLens has so far been mostly available only to industry or military personnel. And because it’s an expensive technology, it doesn’t seem to have generated as much buzz as other products, so it’s unclear if it will hit the commercial market. Microsoft appears to be focusing on AI instead.
