Apple Issues Health Warning For Vision Pro Mixed Reality Headset
Tech giant Apple has raised a red flag regarding the use of its much-anticipated mixed reality headset, the Apple Vision Pro. The company has cautioned users with specific medical conditions about potential risks of injury or discomfort associated with the device.
According to a support document released by Apple, individuals at risk for falls or seizures, or those with serious medical conditions such as heart issues, are advised to consult with a medical provider before delving into the immersive world of the Apple Vision Pro.
The list of medical conditions highlighted by Apple includes migraines or chronic headaches, dizziness or vertigo, eye or vision conditions, psychological conditions, inner ear issues, and seizures, among others.
Pregnant women, in particular, are urged to exercise additional caution, given that pregnancy may heighten the risk of nausea or loss of balance during use. Apple recommends that users who have received medical clearance to use the Vision Pro should start with a less immersive experience, utilise the device while seated, take frequent breaks, and limit the duration of use.
The Apple Vision Pro, priced at USD 3,499 for the 256GB storage variant, is now available for pre-orders. Apple has stated that the headset will be offered at all US Apple Store locations and through the US Apple Store online platform.
