Just in time for CES, Apple announced the news that the headset will be available, and the Apple Vision Pro has brought unprecedented heat to XR products.
At this year's CES, the new XR products we know include Sony's new XR headset, Skyworth Pancake series and A1 AR, Goertek XR, etc., but they still have a certain gap compared with Vision Pro in hardware and software technology.

Qualcomm recently introduced the XR2+ Gen 2 chip, which supports 43K display resolution, and can also render a high-resolution picture comparable to Apple's Vision Pro headsetThe headset on display is powered by the latest XR2+ Gen 2 chip, but interestingly, it is officially said that it is designed for those who want to create content in the virtual space. It can be seen that the XR headset and Apple Vision Pro displayed by Sony this time are not products of the same track.

In addition, Goertek also announced that it will jointly launch a next-generation XR reference design based on the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform, integrating Goertek's self-developed new generation of 3P Pancake lens.

For VR XR devices, in addition to hardware configuration, software adaptation and advancement are also key, which involves not only the design of the operating system and user interface, but also the support for various applications and content.
The Vision Pro offers the most powerful hardware configuration to date: 12 cameras, 5 sensors, two 4K Retina displays, and two chips in M2 and R1 at the same time. In terms of application ecosystem adaptation, more than 250 Arcade games and 150 3D movies were provided in the first batch.
It can be seen that Vision Pro is a product that is extremely dependent on technology and the accumulation of ** chain, and there is no product that can compete with it. Of course, with the acceleration of the layout of other brands, we may be able to see more competitors that can match them in the future.
