WHAT’S THE FIRST THING YOU RECOMMEND POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS DO WHEN THEY PUT ON THE VISION PRO AT APPLE RETAIL?
We’ve known from the start that seeing is believing when it comes to Apple Vision Pro so we designed a demo experience for our customers with that in mind. This is a new product and a new platform — spatial computing with a magical new interface using your eyes, hands and voice and we wanted to give our customers a taste of it all with the demo.
Without giving it all away, because we really do want customers to experience it themselves, customers will:
- See and feel what it’s like to navigate with their eyes, hands, and voice
- Experience photos and videos come to life and try out Apple Immersive Video
- Be immersed in an environment and experience the ultimate entertainment device
- Try out apps and more
And we just released the first ever immersive music video celebrating The Weeknd’s “Open Hearts,” a brand-new song from the artist’s highly anticipated new album, Hurry Up Tomorrow. Available only on Apple Vision Pro, fans and customers can experience the immersive music video its well as the magic of spatial computing, by booking an Apple Vision Pro demo at their local Apple Store beginning November 15.
HOW WILL APPLE STORES FOSTER A COMMUNITY AROUND VISION PRO AS IT RESHAPES HOW WE INTERACT WITH TECHNOLOGY?
At Apple, we put our customers at the center of everything we do. That’s why with every Apple innovation, it’s important to us that we give customers the best experience we possibly can. Apple Vision Pro is a very personalized device, and there is no better place to experience it than at Apple Retail.
When our customers come into an Apple Store for a demo, our team members will be able to work with them on any vision needs they may have. We have a lensometer that is able to read a customers eyeglass prescription and bring out the correct lenses for the experience.
We know Vision Pro is a device that people will want to use in every part of their life, from entertainment to productivity, and we took that into consideration when we created the demo experience. It’s truly such a good taste of all that you can do with Vision Pro. Ultimately, our goal is for as many people as possible to experience the power of spatial computing for themselves.
WHAT BENEFITS DOES APPLE SEE IN SHOPPING FOR THE VISION PRO IN-STORE VERSUS ONLINE?
We understand that every customer journey is different — with many customers connecting with us virtually, through our online store or through the Apple Store app. And sometimes, they begin their shopping journeys in one of our stores. Often, it’s both, where they might order a product online and then pick it up in stores. Online, customers shopping Vision Pro can go through the face scan to get their precise fit, and connect with a team member for a personalized shopping session to learn more about spatial computing.
We also welcome customers who want to experience all the different ways Vision Pro can enrich their lives to stop by an Apple Store and try the demo themselves. Our team members couldn’t be more excited to share the magic of spatial computing with customers, and we’ve made the demo process so easy. In minutes, users will have a device fitted specifically for them, and soon they discover themselves in a rich world of spatial experiences unlike anything they’ve ever seen before.
Apple Vision Pro unlocks a world for possibilities, and it’s exciting to see how users are tapping into that potential in so many different ways, from watching their favorite movie on a 100-foot screen to reliving special memories in spatial photos and videos.
As one of Apple’s first adopters of spatial computing, what should customers keep in mind to make the most of their Vision Pro from day one?
APPLE PRODUCTS OFTEN REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY WE INTERACT WITH TECHNOLOGY. HOW DO YOU ENVISION THE VISION PRO SHAPING EVERYDAY EXPERIENCES OR EVEN CHANGING ENTIRE INDUSTRIES?
For the first time ever, customers across UAE can experience the magic of Apple Vision Pro. This moment has been years in the making. It’s the culmination of so much hard work by teams across Apple, who worked together to achieve something unprecedented, and we are so excited to bring it to our customers.
Just as the Mac introduced us to personal computing, and iPhone introduced us to mobile computing, Apple Vision Pro introduces us to spatial computing. This is a new era of computing that seamlessly blends digital content with the physical world — and that’s going to redefine how we connect, create, and explore.
Every time a customer discovers Apple Vision Pro, you can see their joy, wonder, and pure emotion for this incredible device. We know how passionate our customers in UAE are for Apple innovations, and we couldn’t be more excited to share with them something that’s truly so special.
IF VISION PRO HAD A ‘MOST MIND-BLOWING MOMENT’ DEMO REEL, WHAT WOULD BE AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST?
The entire experience is truly a delight, so it’s hard to choose just one! But if I had to choose, and something I find our customers also really love, is reliving their favorite moments in spatial photos and videos. They’re able to bring in photos shot on iPhone of a child’s birthday or a graduation, and view them in Vision Pro in an entirely new way. It’s remarkable!
