The company also provided details on how developers should name and describe their apps. The tech giant has asked developers not to refer to visionOS apps using terms such as AR, VR, XR, or MR.
Instead, Apple asked developers to their apps as “spatial computing apps”.
“Refer to your app as a spatial computing app. Don’t describe your app experience as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), or mixed reality (MR),” Apple wrote.
Apple Vision Pro will be available starting at $3,499 with 256GB of storage. Pre-orders for Apple Vision Pro will begin on January 19.
The headset will be available at all US Apple Store locations and the US Apple Store online, the company said.
