While the Head Band, available in different sizes, is three-dimensionally knitted as a unit to provide cushioning, breathability and flexibility.
Those who wear glasses should use the magnetic ZEISS prescription inserts with the Vision Pro headset.
Vision Pro has an ultra-high-resolution display system with 23 million pixels across two micro-OLED screens - more than 4K for TV for each eye.
It uses high-speed cameras and LED rings that project invisible light patterns into the user's eyes to track gaze. The headset also contains an M2 chip paired with a new 'R1' chip, dedicated to real-time sensor processing.

These innovations are powered by Apple silicon in a unique dual-chip design. The M2 delivers unrivaled standalone performance, while the new R1 chip processes inputs from 12 cameras, five sensors and six microphones to ensure content feels like it's appearing right in front of the user's eyes, in real time.
The R1 streams new images to the screen within 12 milliseconds, eight times faster than the blink of an eye.
Apple Vision Pro is designed for all-day use when plugged in and up to two hours of use with a high-performance external battery.
The device also has a new Spatial Audio system with two individually amplified drivers inside each audio pod, delivering personalized Spatial Audio based on the geometry of the user's head and ears.
The gadget can match the sound to the environment using audio ray tracing. The device is capable of running for two hours on a single charge.
The headset features passthrough video of the wearer's eyes in a feature Apple calls 'EyeSight', showing the user's eyes to those around them. It is also known to use a lenticular OLED display.
Vision Pro can turn any space into a personal movie theater and watch immersive videos. Users can expand beyond the dimensions of physical space with dynamic landscapes that can help them focus.
