With only a few weeks remaining until the Apple Vision Pro premiere, the first units were distributed to application developers several months ago. This is crucial because, without appropriate software, the new goggles won't be able to reach their full potential. And the capabilities of these goggles are expected to be impressive.

The Apple Vision Pro presentation was showcased during the WWDC 2023 event. Since then, Apple has been organizing various workshops and training for developers. This support is focused on aiding the creation of applications and games for VR goggles running on the VisionOS system. Apple is taking steps to ensure a smooth launch of this product.

You can now find the first applications designed for VisionOS and VR goggles in the App Store. Once reviewed and approved by Apple, these applications are made available in the store. You can discover which are compatible with the Apple Vision Pro by exploring the App Store.

The Apple Vision Pro VR goggles launch is anticipated in February of this year. Before their official market introduction, Apple intends to send the new goggles to reviewers. As a result, we'll probably obtain more information about this device even before its market premiere. One intriguing matter is whether the high price of the Apple Vision Pro will hinder its success. However, it's rare to find a cheap product in Apple's portfolio.

Previously, Apple introduced some applications that will be available from the very beginning for the VisionOS system, including:

  • Fruit Ninja
  • Disney+
  • Max
  • Slack
  • Zoom
  • Microsoft Office
  • Keynote
