Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Finally! Apple's first Vision Pro debut late at night, amazing design, unparalleled interaction, will lead the new form of smart terminal devices in the next decade!

Apple's head show, finally let us wait!

For this day, Apple has been brewing for seven years.

The pigeon has been for too long, but when it finally arrived, it seemed a little unreal.

Cook smiled and announced that the One More Thing--, which the world had been waiting for, had finally made its debut.

The price is 3499 US dollars, or 24000 yuan, which is a price that ordinary people cannot have.

However, this ticket to the "Apple Universe" is valid for too short.

The beginning is the pinnacle! Apple's first AR was released live, and the Vision Pro live display area was overcrowded. And you can't start to experience it, you can only shoot from the outside.

I have to say, the magic color effect of the screen is really cracked.

From the outside alone, Apple's first Vision Pro looks like a pair of ski goggles.

Of course, its design is mysterious-it is said that the head has a separate battery pack that can be controlled by eyes, hands and sound.

Although it is positioned as an AR device, in Apple's view, the Vision Pro can be seen as a new computer that seamlessly integrates the real world with the electronic world.

According to Apple, this is the first Apple product that is "invisible but transparent".

It can be controlled with only eyes / hands / voice, making "transparent" possible, and bringing us closer and closer to science fiction movies.

What's more science fiction? We are no longer limited to the screen.

The surrounding space has become an infinite canvas.

Here, you can not only use any APP you like, but also adjust them to any size you like.

M2+R1 dual-core Vision Pro can bring an extraordinary experience, which is the performance improvement brought by Apple's two chips.

It's not enough to have a cool and powerful M2. Apple has also built a new R1 chip to make sure there's no delay and it's real and natural.

The chip R1 is specially designed for the challenging task of real-time sensors.

Get input from 12 cameras, 5 sensors (including 1 lidar sensor) and 6 microphones.

Apple claims that it can process sensor data in 12 milliseconds, eight times faster than blinking, which will greatly reduce vertigo.

For the first time in the history of the revolutionary 3D interactive interface, Apple has moved Home View to your home, your company, anywhere you are.

This is undoubtedly a revolutionary step in the history of the interactive interface of electronic products.

Each element is endowed with an absolutely real sense of existence, so that we can truly feel the size and distance of the object.

Do you think App is too small and not easy to use? You can magnify it infinitely, big enough to rush out of the universe.

You can put the App wherever you want.

What's more, you can adjust your immersion level by controlling the digital knob.

As long as you look at it with your eyes, APP will be automatically chosen by you.

As long as you use your fingers, the interface can easily slide.

Open your mouth and you can automatically start searching for what you want. Siri also plays a role.

The most amazing thing about Vision Pro is that it doesn't cut you off from the people around you. You can see them, and they can see you.

This original technology is called EyeSight. It allows people to see your eyes.

If you are in full VR, a glowing screen will cover your eyes and tell others that you are busy.

The most powerful office artifact is coming, and when you work, the whole world becomes an App canvas.

These apps are now running out of your screen!

With just a glance, you can make a smooth transition from one App to the next, and the office experience has never been more enjoyable.

Moreover, the head display is synchronized with iPhone, iPad and Mac. Memos, information, photos and documents can all be updated automatically through iCloud.

You can also receive 3D information, pull it into reality, and look at it from all angles.

And because you can see other people, you don't get out of touch with reality because you work with your head.

Multitasking is so easy. This is so fantastic!

Mac can also connect wirelessly to Apple Vision Pro. Just take a look, and the Mac screen can be placed in the position you want, and then expand.

The main hit is a person who is immersed in the home environment, and the head display will give you a panoramic picture around it.

It can be said that the Vision Pro is Apple's first 3D camera.

And your room will become a private cinema. The movie will automatically change the space, automatically adjust the light, and enlarge the screen beyond your room.

The movie will automatically change the space, automatically adjust the light, and enlarge the screen beyond your room.

The VR experience is perfect for 3D sound and shadow effects, making you really immersive, and the dinosaur seems to be poking its head out at you.

Or anywhere, directly generate an infinite game screen.

In the 100th year of Disney, Apple has also United the Disney content ecology.

Anytime, anywhere, you can enter the Marvel universe and become part of the Super British legend.

Visual + auditory full this head display has 2 2300-megapixel Micro OLED displays, providing the best visual experience on VR devices.

The customized three-layer lens combined with high-resolution Micro OLED ensures high visual clarity, transparency and portability.

Compared with the mainstream consumer VR devices on the market, the whole visual solution is like this customized three-layer lens, which is simply Next*3 Level.

It also has a unique VR sound experience.

The sound effect of existing VR devices can only be said to be "listen to a loud sound", but Apple can help you restore the whole sound world.

The "Apple level easy to use" hand tracking technology allows Vision Pro to natively eliminate the handle.

This is also consistent with the direction of Meta's efforts in Quest.

Control everything with both hands, so that the threshold for the use of Vision Pro becomes infinitely low.

VisionOS, the stronghold of meta-universe, of course, Apple will also create a new operating system for Vision Pro-- visionOS.

The release of the new operating system marks an important moment for Apple and its developers.

With the release of Apple's new Vision Pro, it is certain that there will be a large number of developers developing APP in the future. Try to take advantage of this new platform, hoping to become the next big hit.

Apple says visionOS is an operating system designed for spatial computing that focuses on displaying virtual digital elements in the real world.

As mentioned earlier, Vision Pro interacts with eyes, gestures, and sound.

It is visionOS that can harness these interactions and meet real-world expansion needs in scenarios such as work, movies, games, and so on.

Unlike VisionOS, which shares core modules with MacOS and iOS, Vision Pro adds a "real-time execution engine" for handling interactive visual effects.

There is also the first 3D engine dedicated to multi-App.

VisionOS's 3D interface extends App from the boundaries of traditional displays so that these applications can be displayed side by side in different sizes.

In addition, VisionOS has launched a number of applications, including major software such as Unity, which runs locally on Vision Pro, and Microsoft's Team and Office.

There is medical software that can view anatomical maps, and an engineering App that can see physical phenomena, such as airflow on real-world objects.

It is worth mentioning that the Vision Pro head display will use a unique biometric authentication method and iris scanning for the first time.

Optic ID uses the camera in the headset to scan the eyes, just as the Face ID scans the face.

In fact, it is almost the same as Face ID, but it uses the unique layout of a person's iris to verify identity.

The developer gift package and seamless migration of the new platform Apple provides developers with almost the same development environment as before, ensuring that all developers can directly start to share innovation ecology with Apple.

Some developers have already experienced it in advance, showing the infinite possibilities of the rich ecology of the new platform in the future.

Whether it is productivity tools or entertainment applications, there are new high-quality development examples.

Most of the existing applications will also be launched online.

The native support for Unity provides a technical guarantee for entering the "Apple Universe" in an all-round way.

Cook said on the spot that Vision Pro is expected to be released in early 2024.

So, will it be the new "iPhone" of the next decade? After watching this conference, netizens felt a lot of emotion.

ChatGPT + Apple Vision Pro, artificial intelligence + meta-universe, infinite computing power + digital twins, mankind has finally come to the smallest and most blurred era of the boundary between "true" and "false" in history. Perhaps more people will understand that we have been living in the virtual world, which may be the beginning of the awakening of the whole planet.

But when One More Thing shows up on Keynote, it represents another rethinking of technology for the company and for people on earth. Vision is the starting point of all struggle, it is more ambitious, virtual and realistic, it is only a possibility, but Vision, infinite possibilities.

In addition to the much-anticipated appearance of M2 Ultra, the latest M2 Ultra chip is also quite an explosion.

Apple described it as a "monster in the chip".

It is essentially two M2 Max chips connected to Apple's UltraFusion technology, with 24 cores of CPU and up to 76 cores of GPU, 1% faster than the M30 Ultra.

It has a 20-core GPU, 16 high-performance cores and one efficiency core. The performance is a great leap forward compared with the original chip.

M2 Ultra supports up to 192GB of memory, 50% more than M1 Ultra. In total, it has the available memory bandwidth of 800GB/s, as well as a 32-core neural engine and 134 billion transistors.

Compared to M1 Ultra, M2 Ultra can render up to three times as fast as Octane 3D. In DaVinci Resolve, the toner's video processing speed can be increased by 50%.

Apple says a single system with this type of GPU can train machine learning tasks that cannot be handled because of the memory limitations of a separate GPU.

Mac Studio benefits from M2 Ultra chip, and the performance of the new Mac Studio has been greatly improved.

Specifically, the new Mac Studio is not only twice as fast as its predecessors with M1 Ultra, but also allows designers using After Effects to render 50% faster, and allows developers to build new versions of applications using Xcode very quickly, with a performance improvement of up to 25%.

Not only that, 3D designers working with Octane can render three times faster, and toners using DaVinci Resolve can process video 50% faster than before.

The new version of Mac Studio also has a higher bandwidth HDMI, which can easily achieve a resolution of up to 8K and a 240Hz frame rate.

Mac Pro

The arrival of M2 Ultra, in addition to blessing Mac Studio, also means that Mac Pro, which has been silent for a long time, has returned.

This is the first major update to the Mac Pro in four years, and Apple has finally completed the transition to its own chip.

The new version of Mac Pro looks no different from the previous Intel version, but there is a lot of mystery in it.

In addition to major chip innovations, the new Mac Pro includes six open PCIe Gen 4 expansion slots and eight built-in Thunderbolt ports.

In addition, the Mac Pro includes three USB-A ports, two high-bandwidth HDMI ports that support up to 10K resolution, two Ethernet ports, and a headphone Jack.

IOS 17: the code word is faster, iPhone turns into the bedside clock the annual iOS update is coming, the most anticipated experience for a large wave of fruit fans.

This time, the upheaval of iOS 17 has made everyone's iPhone more personalized.

It mainly upgrades the communication experience of phone, FaceTime and Messages, making it easier for AirDrop to share.

When the big model is integrated into the keyboard, the most important thing is that Apple puts the keyboard directly into a new intelligent upgrade.

A few months ago, Jim Fan, Nvidia's chief scientist, shared his "genius idea" on Twitter and even retweeted by Musk, saying "this is a valuable idea."

Apple realized it for you, didn't it?

Jim Fan also excitedly tweeted today that after watching WWDC, Apple has really implemented the LLM-driven keyboard I mentioned 3 months ago! The native Transformer model runs reasoning on the device and learns your typing patterns. Maybe it was done by LoRA at night?

The newly upgraded keyboard auto-correction function has been fully updated and supported by the Transformer model.

This is a state-of-the-art machine learning language model for word prediction, which can improve your experience and accuracy every time you type.

In order to better support typing, sentence autocorrection can correct more types of grammatical errors.

In addition, when you type, you will get online prediction text suggestions.

This means that when you add an entire word or complete a sentence, it's as easy as clicking the spacebar, making text entry faster than ever.

At the same time, the dictation function of the keyboard makes use of the new speech recognition model to recognize more accurately, and "some words" can also be understood.

StandBy (standby) in addition, iOS 17 also introduces new experiences, such as the handwritten APP "Journal".

Also, even your iPhone can become a bedside clock.

IOS 17 introduces a new StandBy feature that provides a full-screen information experience.

When you charge your phone horizontally, you can change the screen into a status display with a date and time.

It can display information from Live Activity, widgets and smart stacks, and can be turned on at any time as long as you place the phone sideways.

In addition, StandBy can turn the display red at night to avoid disturbing sleep.

At the same time, Siri has also been promoted.

In the future, you don't have to say "Hey Siri", just Siri it.

MacOS: widgets move with the heart this time, Apple also unveiled the mystery of the desktop operating system MacOS14-Sonoma.

The name comes from the wine region of Norther California, a small town in California.

Mac also has desktop widgets that have been updated with Sonoma, and the highlight is the mobile widget.

In the past, widgets on the MacBook side could only be exhaled from the far right side of the screen.

Now, Sonoma widgets, like iPhone / iPad, can be moved and defined at will.

Work while browsing information, will not occupy the screen, minute by minute to improve efficiency.

As a result, the interaction of widgets on MacBook is greatly improved, and you can play or pause media, access home controls, and other tasks at any time.

In addition, through Continity, you can also connect with iPhone widgets on Mac.

Just put the iPhone close, or link to the same WiFi, and do it with one click.

Interestingly, these widgets can intelligently change color according to your wallpaper color, providing a better visual experience and keeping you focused at the same time.

Videoconferencing macOS Sonoma brings enhanced videoconferencing capabilities that allow you to more effectively present and share your work in any videoconferencing App.

Presenter Overlay is a brand new video effect that sandwiches shared content between characters and backgrounds.

In this way, the speaker appears in front of the shared screen.

In addition, Reactions allows you to create a happy atmosphere, such as seamlessly adding balloons, confetti and hearts to the video to express your feelings.

The leader was glad to see it.

The improved screen sharing selector simplifies the process of sharing applications during video calls.

You can simply click the green button in the upper left corner of the application and choose to share in the call, so you can easily share content from the currently open window.

Hideo Oshima: bring the game into Mac, from the death stranded from now, Apple computer game burst effect is about to open.

The latest computer operating system introduces game mode (Game Mode), which provides a smoother and more consistent frame rate optimized gaming experience, ensuring that the game gets the highest priority CPU and GPU.

It is worth mentioning that Apple also brought a new game "death stranded director edited version", which is produced by the famous Japanese game producer Hideo Oshima.
