Apple has traditionally divided the start of sales into two waves – so only pre-orders really start on Friday, while the sale itself will start in 14 days. So the new glasses will not appear on store shelves for the first time until February 2nd.
The American technology giant has been launching new products at such a distance for several years, thus trying to avoid the huge queues that formed several days in advance when sales of interesting new products – typically iPhones – started.
It’s going to be a long wait. Vision Pro glasses will most likely arrive in Europe next year
The price in the USA was set at 3,499 dollars, converted according to the current exchange rate to 78,340 CZK. However, if we were to add VAT to the offer on the domestic market, we would be above the 90,000 CZK mark.
However, the high price tag does not have to worry users in the Czech Republic yet, the glasses are not available at all in our homeland and the manufacturer has not revealed when the situation might change. According to unconfirmed information, sales in Europe are not expected until next year.
Wide range of uses
Vision Pro glasses have a number of sophisticated sensors – you can control them with your hands, voice and even your gaze. While demonstrating the skills of the new glasses, the wearer could be seen just looking at the icon and it would become highlighted.
But you can also work with the image in front of you using your own hand gestures, the built-in cameras capture them and transfer the entire interaction to the virtual world.
In addition, Apple has connected the glasses system to its entire ecosystem. Apple Vision Pro glasses thus work with Mac, iPhone, iPad, iCloud or Apple Watch. Instead of looking at the small screen of your device, you can calmly let several virtual screens shine right in front of you.
The new product can do that too, essentially creating an entire virtual office. You can write on a virtual keyboard or use real peripherals – bluetooth keyboard, mouse and touchpad.
And it is not a problem to materialize a giant cinema right in your living room, in which you will watch your favorite series or a new movie. FaceTime calls are also supported. Apple claims that the new glasses will be suitable not only for use at home, but also on the go.

Virtual vs. augmented reality
The terms virtual and augmented reality are very often confused, but both technologies work on different principles.
Virtual reality glasses try to draw the user into a simulated world and completely cut off their senses from the real world. The eyes are usually completely covered by the display and headphones are placed on the ears, which are very often part of the entire system.
Augmented reality systems usually look like ordinary glasses through which the user can see everything that is happening around him. Special displays or cameras then only draw virtual objects into the real space. They actually connect the virtual world with the real one.
