About this device

With Apple Vision Pro, you have an infinite canvas that transforms how you use the apps you love. Arrange apps anywhere and scale them to the perfect size, making the workspace of your dreams a reality — all while staying present in the world around you. Browse the web in Safari, create a to‑do list in Notes, chat in Messages, and seamlessly move between them with a glance. You can even bring your Mac workflows into Apple Vision Pro wirelessly with Mac Virtual Display.

Flexible and Convenient Use:

  • In the Space: Set up effortlessly, whether you're at home or somewhere new. The Apple Vision Pro adapts to your environment, allowing for both standing and seated play in spaces big or small.
  • Positional Audio: Immerse yourself in spatial audio with built-in headset speakers, eliminating the need for headphones.

Easy Accessibility:

  • In-Studio Experience: Use the Apple Vision Pro within the confines of the VR Studio for a more controlled and focused experience.

Getting Started:

  • Factory Reset State: These devices will be factory reset after each patron use and will need to connect to your unique AppleID account.

All patrons are free to use the Apple Vision Pro after completing the required orientation. At this time the Apple Vision Pros are not apart of the lending program but will be updated once they are.
