3 new things I learned from the Apple Vision Pro video

Perhaps these features were already mentioned at WWDC 2023, the widely shared event where Apple first debuted the Apple Vision Pro, but I learned the following three nuggets of info watching the guide tour:

1. You get FaceTime calls from Mac users, but 'Personas' from other Vision Pro users.

In the guided tour video, Will gets a FaceTime call from a woman named Yuri Imoto. Shortly after, he gets a call from Kristin Oro, and he asks, "Why does your FaceTime look different from Yuri?"

Oro explains that Yuri was taking a call on her Mac, so it looks like a regular video call. Oro, on the other hand, launched FaceTime while using Apple Vision Pro, prompting the headset to present Oro has a "Persona," a creepy avatar that uses a mix of her eyes and preset facial features to create a simulated, in-headset presence.

2. The surround-sound experience comes from 'audio pods'

McGinnis explained that the Apple Vision Pro has audio pods that sit just outside of users' ears, and they're designed to deliver "rich spatial audio."

3. Nearby people can appear inside 'Environments'

While you're immersed in a 360-degree Apple Vision Pro environment, you can see people near you appear as a faint digital overlay inside your headsets, thanks to a feature called "Breakthrough."

4. The battery pack was noticeably absent

Finally, one thing I would've loved to see more is the battery pack. A quick tutorial on how to use it and how to best position something that may be a bit irksome would be useful.
