Apple has opened up Vision Pro developer kit applications, gearing up for the 2024 launch of its $3,499 headset. This move allows selected developers to utilize the actual hardware to create and refine apps tailored to the headset's unique features. The Vision Pro headset requires a range of apps designed specifically for its distinct hardware and capabilities. - Apple's developer kits are not a preliminary release of the product.
- The device is loaned and remains Apple's property, to be returned post-launch.
- Developers must adhere to strict confidentiality agreements, including ensuring the device remains at the shipped address and is locked in a Pelican hard case when unused.
- While some Apple-designed apps resemble iPad apps, the device can also have full VR applications that immerse users in a virtual milieu.
- Apple is keen on developers transferring VR apps from other platforms and crafting new apps exclusively for Vision Pro.
