Apple terms the headset spatial computing. Running visionOS, the device will feature an App Store with compatible iOS and iPadOS apps along with titles made just for the device.
Instead of controllers, you’ll interact with simple hand gestures like a finger pitch. Siri support will also allow you to interact with the device and things like open an app or play media.
