Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) first-generation mixed reality headset, Vision Pro, will come equipped with a suite of Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:MSFT) apps at its launch on Feb. 2. This move is in line with Apple’s vision of the headset as a productivity tool.
What Happened: The Vision Pro will offer a range of Microsoft 365 apps, including Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Loop, reported Engadget. These apps will not be mere replicas of their iPad counterparts but will feature tools specifically designed for the headset.
For example, PowerPoint will offer a custom immersive environment for users to practice presentations, while Excel will allow for quick document transfers using the headset’s pinch and drag functionality.
