The spatial computer, as Apple likes to call it, brings several innovative features and changes to make the Vision Pro, the best possible mixed-reality headset. That said, there are, still, certain limitations that the headset comes with and one of them is &#8212; gaming &#8212; which by the way Apple also didn\u2019t focus much apart from Apple Arcade support. <br \/>One of the main reasons why Apple <!-- -->Vision Pro<!-- --> currently isn\u2019t ideal for gaming is because it lacks support for VR game controllers. It\u2019s not that Apple does not have that in mind. As Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman has highlighted (reported by 9to5Mac) in his latest edition of Power On newsletter that Apple is \u201call-in on hand and eye control for Vision Pro.\u201d He also mentioned that this is what differentiates Vision Pro from other VR headsets from companies like Meta and HTC. <br \/><span class=\"strong \">Apple<\/span><span class=\"strong \"> tested the idea of wearable controllers for Vision Pro<\/span><br \/>It\u2019s not that Apple didn\u2019t have the idea of having a VR controller for the Vision Pro. Gurman has also reported that Apple also explored the idea of a finger-worn device that would work as a controller for Vision Pro. He also mentioned that Apple did run some tests using third-party VR controllers from companies like HTC with Vision Pro. <br \/><span class=\"strong\">Apple settled for eye and hand gesture for Vision Pro<\/span><br \/>In the newsletter, Gurman also mentioned that Apple \u201c\u201cdecided that tracking hand and eye movements without an accessory was a more elegant solution.\u201d And, Apple isn\u2019t changing its mind on this. <br \/> \u201cAs of now, I\u2019m told that Apple isn\u2019t planning its own Vision Pro game controller, nor is it actively planning support for third-party VR accessories,\u201d says Gurman in his newsletter. <br \/><span class=\"strong\">Apple isn\u2019t planning to make its own VR controller<\/span><br \/>Gurman also mentioned that Apple isn\u2019t planning to make its own VR controller for the Vision Pro and nor is it planning to support third-party controllers as well. <br \/><span class=\"strong\">Vision Pro does support third-party game controllers<\/span><br \/>Vision Pro does not support VR controllers, but it does support third-party game controllers like PlayStation DualSense and others. Apple also showcased this during the WWDC announcement with an NBA 2K game demo. <\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) \n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) \n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() \n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        ;\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      )(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    ;<\/p>\n<p>    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) \n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) \n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      )(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    ;<\/p>\n<p>    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || ;\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) \n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) \n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n       else \n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/jarvis.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config)\n          if (config) \n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);<\/p>\n<p>        )<\/p>\n<p>    ;\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/gadgets-news\/apple-isnt-planning-to-make-its-own-vr-controller-and-support-third-party-vr-controllers-for-vision-pro\/articleshow\/101453970.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Apple Vision Pro comes as fresh air in the rather small lake of mixed reality headsets.
