Although a “meeting application” can hardly be called Vision Pro’s “escorted masterpiece”, before it was launched on February 2, in addition to a number of video, sports event live broadcast platforms, and VR games, Zoom was also one of the few non-entertainment There are no third-party applications of this kind—except Apple’s own Office Family Bucket.
Zoom said that through Vision Pro, users can mainly get two experiences:A more immersive meeting experience and more realistic interactive reactions。
Unlike traditional video conferencing, users wearing Vision Pro will not show their faces during the conference, butApple has also equipped the device with a “Persona” function that can reflect the wearer’s facial expressions and head movements in real time.By creating a “digital version of yourself,” other attendees can theoretically notice your digital double rolling his or her eyes at other people’s bad jokes.
Zoom is also the first third-party company to adopt this technology to develop apps. Apple has stated,It only takes a few minutes for users to create a “digital avatar”. The consumer electronics giant also said that Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex are also adapting to this feature.
In addition to digital avatars, Zoom also said that meetings through Vision Pro can provide an “immersive” experience. By enlarging the meeting object to the most appropriate size, it is very suitable for users who want to feel like they are in the same room with colleagues and customers. .
Although Zoom did not provide a demonstration video, judging from Apple’s Facetime demonstration, we can probably understand the final effect.

Zoom also introduced to users that it will update a series of features to the VisionOS chat application this spring, including taking advantage of VR features.Show 3D items to others during meetings. Although these designs can be shared on ordinary screens in the past, in a VR environment, the experience will be more realistic.
In addition, the team collaboration and information sharing function Team Chat,and the ability to pin up to 5 attendees to a physical location with the option to remove their video backgroundswill also be launched this spring.
After opening pre-orders last week, the $3,499 Vision Pro was sold out in a short period of time. However, analysts generally believe that the initial stocking of new products is extremely limited, and the accumulation of scalpers’ stockpiling should be the main reason. The actual sales situation in the future may not be too hot.
It’s not just analysts who think so, but many app developers as well. Although Apple claims to be able to adapt to millions of App Store apps, in fact there are only close to 200 apps developed specifically for Vision Pro, and they are mainly entertainment audio and video platforms such as Disney+, Discovery Channel+, Paramount+, etc. Developers in many categories are still waiting to see how these new products will relate to their businesses.
