According to a report, Apple Vision Pro may soon be launched in many countries. The Cupertino-based tech giant unveiled its first mixed reality (supporting both augmented reality and virtual reality) headset at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in 2023. It later goes on sale in the US in 2024. While there have been reports suggesting that the headset will expand into other regions, the company has not yet shared any such plans. But now, a report has found clues as to which countries may be the first to hide the Vision Pro within the code of the device’s operating system.
The strings of code in VisionOS where hints of Apple Vision Pro expansion were first spotted by MacRumors. The virtual keyboard for the device currently supports only the English (US) language. However, the report mentions that the codes suggest that support for 12 more languages will be added.
These 12 languages include Cantonese – Traditional, Chinese – Simplified, English (Australia), English (Canada), English (Japan), English (Singapore), English (UK), French (Canada), French (France), German (Germany) ) Are included. ), Japanese and Korean. Since the inclusion of language also mentions region, the report claims that China, Australia, Canada, Japan, Singapore, UK, France, and Germany could be the first to sell the headset in their countries. It is noteworthy that India is not mentioned in this list.
Last month, tipster Ming-Chi Kuo also claimed that the Apple Vision Pro could be introduced in more regions sooner than expected. The primary reason for this was said to be a decline in demand for mixed reality headsets. “Due to limited demand growth in the US market, it is optimal to advance the global release schedule when supply improves,” the tipster said, adding that the headset could be introduced in other countries before WWDC 2024, which is likely to be held . In June.
The Apple Vision Pro features dual Micro OLED displays with a total of 23 million pixels. It includes a custom 3D lens for placing augmented reality content into the wearer’s field of view. Equipped with an extensive sensor array including the main camera, downward facing camera for hand tracking, IR illuminator and LiDAR scanner, it provides detailed spatial detection.
