Although Apple is not the first company to enter this field, the market has been waiting for this step for a long time, by the American company, because this device will have a great impact in terms of increasing sales and encouraging other companies to enter this field and compete in it, which will lead to development This industry is growing rapidly, as competition is seen as a positive driver, helping companies achieve higher productivity than when operating in environments not competitive.
According to the description with which Apple amazed technology experts, Vision Pro has enormous technical capabilities like never before, since its production is the result of decades of experience, which the company has devoted to designing high-end devices. performance and portable mobile devices, highlighting that Vision Pro is the most innovative product in the world, Apple is absolutely innovative.
Merge real scenes with virtual scenes and display them in 12 milliseconds
The Vision Pro is an MR mixed reality glasses capable of merging the virtual world with the real world. It has been equipped with 12 cameras, whose mission is to photograph – in 3D – what is happening around the user, when he’s wearing the glasses, so those scenes are transferred to the processor chip that the glasses contain. , which helps to merge real scenes with virtual scenes and display them in front of the user’s eyes within 12 milliseconds of their actual appearance, which means mixing Vision Pro for the real world with the virtual world takes place in record time and almost without delay.
Double slide 8 times faster than the blink of an eye
Analyst and Technical Writer Alain Al-Qarih said in an interview with “Sky News Arabia Economy” that Vision Pro’s ability to merge real scenes with virtual elements at record speed is due to its possession of a unique double chip, composed of an M2 chip and an R1 chip, because the presence of This duo of chips allows the glasses to show complex scenes in front of the eyes of users in 12 milliseconds, 8 times faster than a blink of an eye. eye, stating that the glasses have 12 cameras, five sensors and six microphones, to ensure that content is displayed on its internal screens in real time. Which is a feat for Apple if the user experience le actually shows.
The role of the M2 chip
According to Al-Qarah, the role of the M2 chip, which was unveiled in June 2022, is related to the operation of the Vision Pro system and the applications it contains, pointing out that it is a chip manufactured by Apple which was designed according to 5 nanometers, and it includes 20 billion transistors, a central processing unit and a graphics processing unit.In addition to a neural engine capable of processing up to 15.8 trillion operations per second, the M2 can deliver performance that matches the most powerful computer chip performance, with its ability to play back multiple streams of 4k and 8k video.
The R1 chip is the heart of the actuator
As for the second chip, which is the R1 chip, Al-Qarah says it’s the heart that powers the Vision Pro, and it’s been carefully engineered with the goal of ensuring that the glasses deliver an experience of “AR augmented reality” with smoothness and response speed. The R1 processes the scenes received from the 12 cameras at high speed. To effectively immerse it with the augmented reality applications available on the glasses, so that the result appears in front of the eyes of the users, like in science fiction movies.
Immersion to the highest degree of augmented and virtual reality
Al-Qareh adds that the R1 chip is completely new and is produced by Apple, and is responsible for collecting, analyzing and managing data captured by sensors, cameras and microphones in the glasses, and so when the R1 is combined with the M2 chip, it turns into an integrated binary chip, in view of the advantages that immerse users to the highest degree possible, in the augmented and virtual world, highlighting that this double chip is the main reason of the high price of the Vision Pro, reaching $3,500, a direct result of the complex technology and creative design that went into creating the R1 chip in particular.
Al-Qareh reiterated that the course of the smart glasses industry will be very different after the appearance of Vision Pro glasses for Apple’s mixed reality.
