Apple’s Vision Pro mixed reality headset was announced one year ago this week, and it’s arguably already due for a major upgrade to add artificial intelligence. Apple is expected to announce its first batch of generative AI tools for the iPhone and iPad next week, as part of a greater effort to breathe new life into its struggling product lines. Although the Vision Pro mixed reality headset has only been on the market for a few months, some experts believe the same technology could soon find its way onto the device. Generative AI, the buzzy form of artificial intelligence that can provide thoughtful and thorough responses to questions and prompts, could potentially propel the headset into another level of personalization and immersion, and usher in new use cases for businesses, particularly in the education and medical space. It could also boost sales of the pricey Vision Pro, which has reportedly and unexpectedly received a production cut. At its annual Worldwide Developers Conference at its Cupertino, California, headquarters, which kicks off Monday June 10, CEO Tim Cook will likely lay out the company’s vision for this type of AI. It’s also expected to partner with ChatGPT maker OpenAI to unlock new layers of interaction across its product lines. All this comes during a time when the company is under pressure to catch up to rivals such as Google and Samsung, which are already using the technology in its smartphones. The most obvious way to integrate generative AI into the Vision Pro would be through a virtual assistant similar to a much smarter Siri, allowing users to ask questions about what they’re watching or automating tasks such as sending texts by voice or turning on the lights. Other use cases include real-time language translation, deeper collaboration in a workspace environment or personalized fitness plans and guided meditations, according to experts.
