Why Apple’s Next Vision Pro Could Finally Feel Human

The $3,500 Apple Vision Pro launched with stunning visuals and groundbreaking eye tracking, but one glaring omission: the kind of tactile control that makes VR feel natural. While competitors ship with hand controllers standard, Apple bet everything on gaze-and-pinch interactions. Now, patent filings and development reports suggest Apple might be reconsidering that philosophy—and it could transform how we experience spatial computing.

Current gaze-and-pinch interaction works well for interface navigation but struggles with precise tasks
The 1.3-pound headset already supports PlayStation and Xbox controllers, but lacks VR-optimized 6DOF controls

While the current gaze-plus-pinch system works remarkably well, Apple’s engineers are discovering what many users already know: sometimes you need more than just your eyes and floating finger taps to get things done.
What you need to know: Apple’s exploring everything from finger-wearable devices to built-in touch sensors that could transform how we interact with mixed reality. The current Vision Pro already packs 12 cameras and 6 microphones alongside that impressive M2+R1 chip combo, but the input story is far from complete.
The limits of looking: why gaze-only gets tiring
Let’s be blunt—keeping your hands in front of your eyes for extended periods is exhausting. Real users quickly…more
