+
+[summary]Repair guides, disassembly information, and troubleshooting support for the AppleĀ VisionĀ Pro mixed reality headset, revealed June 2023.[/summary]
+
+
+
+== Background ==
+
+After much speculation, Apple unveiled their Vision Pro mixed reality headset as their entry to "spacial computing" at WWDC on June 5th, 2023. The Vision Pro is a mixed reality [[Topic:Virtual Reality Headset|AR/VR headset|new_window=true]] that aims to "seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space." It doesn't use controllers, instead relying on eye tracking and hand gestures for control. The Apple Vision Pro is a premium offering that competes with the likes of the [[Topic:HTC Vive XR Elite|HTC Vive XR Elite|new_window=true]], [[Topic:Meta Quest Pro|Meta Quest Pro|new_window=true]], and [[Topic:Valve Index Headset|Valve Index|new_window=true]], although its focus is on more everyday tasks and less on gaming.
+
+The Vision Pro sports a modular design, with a 3D-laminated glass and milled aluminum enclosure, a flexible cushion called the Light Seal, and a woven headband. Unlike most VR headsets, the Vision Pro can connect magnetically to a battery pack for portable use. The Vision Pro runs a new, bespoke operating system dubbed "visionOS" on an Apple silicon M2 SoC paired with a new sensor-processing R1 chip designed specifically for Vision Pro.
+
+Apple announced that the Vision Pro will start at $3499 and will be available early 2024.
+
+== Identification ==
+
+The Vision Pro can be identified by its distinctive light gray, woven, ribbed headband, three-dimensional curved front glass, gray aluminum enclosure, and white speaker straps. Orange accents are found on the strap, and the top of the enclosure has cooling vents, one button, and one dial.
+
+The included battery pack is unique to the Vision Pro, and can be identified by a rectangular aluminum enclosure with an inset engraved Apple logo and tethered woven cable.
