Apple announced on the 24th that its artificial intelligence (AI) service 'Apple Intelligence' will be integrated into the mixed reality (MR) headset 'Vision Pro' starting in April.
Users will be able to correct, rewrite, and summarize text through the 'writing tool' offered by Apple Intelligence for Vision Pro, as well as create entirely new text using ChatGPT. Additionally, the 'Image Playground' feature allows users to explore new ways to visually express themselves, and they can generate suitable emoticons for any conversation using Zenmoji. Apple Intelligence will be available in beta on visionOS 2.4 and will support American English. More features and supported languages are expected to be added within the year.
New apps and features that enable the discovery and sharing of the magic of spatial computing will also be added with visionOS 2.4. A new app for Vision Pro, the Spatial Gallery, will showcase a curated collection of spatial photography, spatial videos, and panoramas presented by artists, filmmakers, and photographers.
The Vision Pro app for iPhone provides users with a new way to download apps and games from the App Store, discover experiences on Apple TV and the Spatial Gallery, easily look up tips, and quickly check information for Vision Pro. The visitor feature has also been enhanced, making it easier for users to share apps and experiences with family, friends, and colleagues using nearby iPhones or iPads.
Mike Rockwell, senior vice president of the Vision Products Group, noted, "Vision Pro offers users new ways to communicate, collaborate, and experience entertainment. With the launch of visionOS 2.4, we aim to continually expand the possibilities that spatial computing can present. Moreover, the introduction of Apple Intelligence in Vision Pro allows users to elevate productivity and creativity to a new level with features like the 'writing tool,' Image Playground, and Zenmoji. Furthermore, we expect users to discover and share amazing new experiences through the Spatial Gallery."
