It’s been a year now since Apple unveiled the Vision Pro – and several months since it’s been out on the market, where it’s been met by a relatively tepid response from the gadget-buying public, if sales are any indication. Although the focus of the keynote will likely be about mobile software, generative AI could also come to the Vision Pro, potentially propelling the headset into another level of personalization and immersion and ushering in new use cases for businesses, particularly in the education and medical industries.
A Vision Pro with generative AI could mean communicating with the device through a virtual assistant, like a much smarter Siri, allowing users to ask questions about what they’re watching, for instance.
Other use cases might include real-time language translation, deeper collaboration in a workspace, or personalized fitness plans and guided meditations, according to experts. In the business world, it could help businesses train workers, enable employees to troubleshoot specific issues on the fly and more.
Upgrades could also boost sales of the pricey Vision Pro, which starts at $3,499 and has reportedly seen weak demand.
