FULL STORY
======================================================================

The Apple Vision Pro is set to launch in just under three weeks time , and it 
sounds like Apple is going to pull out all the stops to make sure its first 
customers leave with a positive experience including an incredibly lengthy 
in-store demo. 

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman shed light on this process in his latest Power On 
newsletter . There, the reporter claimed that Apple will put every Vision Pro 
customer through a 25-minute demonstration of all the headsets key features, 
ensuring they know how to use it properly on their own. 

The demo will aooarently start with scanning the customers face to ensure 
their headset fits perfectly. Once thats done, theyll be shown how to work 
their way around the device, including how to navigate through its software 
using their eyes and hands, how to switch between virtual and augmented 
reality, and how to calibrate the headset for proper use. 

Once thats complete, Apple staff will walk each customer through a handful of 
key features. They will begin by showing photos and videos (both regular and 
3D ones, which Apple calls spatial photos and spatial videos ), and will then 
explain how to create a computer-like setup with apps and multiple virtual 
monitors. The demo will be rounded off with 3D and immersive movies of wild 
animals, oceans and sports. 

According to Gurman, all this software wizardry will be powered by a high-end 
M2 chip with 10 GPU cores and eight CPU cores. Thats likely contributed to 
the headsets $3,499 price tag (around 2,800 / AU$5,300), and with such power 
available inside, Apple will want to make sure everyone knows how to put it 
to good use. Leaving nothing to chance (Image credit: Apple) 

A hands-on demonstration of a new product isnt unusual for Apple  the company 
will gladly show potential customers how to use all of the best iPhones and 
Apple Watches, for example. But what is unusual is the length of the demo, as 
well as the breadth of content it will showcase. 

That suggests Apple is keen to ensure users know how to use the device before 
they leave. After all, while most people innately know how to use a phone or 
tablet, very few will have tried on a headset like the Vision Pro. Apple 
doesnt want to risk the device getting a bad name because people dont 
understand how to use it properly. 

Its similar to how Apple is taking a very hands-on approach to Apple Vision 
Pro review process, where journalists must apparently meet Apple several 
times for product demos before they can publish their reviews. With a product 
as new (and expensive) as the Vision Pro, Apple isnt taking any chances. 

Ultimately, weve only got a few weeks to find out if all the effort on Apples 
part has been worth it. With the Vision Pro launching on February 2 , users 
around the country will soon get to experience Apples demo for themselves.

immersive trip  and I highly recommend it Apple Vision Pro will officially go 
on sale in February  with pre-orders starting soon The Apple Vision Pro could 
be almost impossible to buy at launch
