Apple is launching its Vision Pro computer glasses in more countries. They will be available in China, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore from June 28. At the same time, the glasses can also be pre-ordered in Australia, Germany, France, the UK and Canada, as Apple CEO Tim Cook announced at his developer conference WWDC on Monday.

In Germany, the market launch is planned for July 12, with the purchase price starting at 3999 euros. There is still no date for Austria. With the Vision Pro, users can immerse themselves in digital worlds. In addition to this virtual reality (VR), the Apple headset is also designed to mix digital content with the real environment.

Apple wants to establish the device for use with its Mac computers, among other things: The large displays appear in the glasses while you type on the visible real keyboard. At WWDC, Apple also announced an improved operating system version for the Vision Pro.

The Vision Pro was launched on the US market in February at a price starting at 3,500 dollars before tax. The biggest competitor in the market is the Facebook group Meta, which sells its Quest 3 VR glasses from a price of 550 euros.
