Some of Vision Pro’s Biggest New Development Features Are Restricted to Enterprise

VisionOS 2 introduces a variety of highly anticipated development features for the Vision Pro headset. However, some of the most significant new capabilities are limited to enterprise applications. Developers looking to utilize these advanced features will need to obtain 'Enterprise' status, which requires having a minimum of 100 employees and being part of the Apple Developer Enterprise Program ($300 annually). Apple says these restrictions are in place to protect privacy and ensure a consistent user experience.

Key enterprise-only features include:

  • Vision Pro Camera Access: Enables developers to access the headset's camera feed to detect and interact with the user's environment, useful for applications like remote assistance and computer vision algorithms.
  • Barcode and QR Code Detection: Facilitates the reading and tracking of barcodes and QR codes, ideal for tasks such as inventory management and instruction retrieval.
  • Neural Engine Access: Allows enterprise developers to leverage the neural processor for accelerating machine learning tasks.
  • Enhanced Object Tracking: Provides greater control over object detection, including adjusting the number of tracked objects and customizing detection rates.
  • Performance Control: Grants enterprise developers the ability to adjust the balance between battery life, performance, and fan noise to suit specific use cases.
