The Vision Pro will "redefine how we connect and create" says Apple vice president of human interface design Alan Dye, as its operating system wins top honour at the D&AD Awards.
Apple was recognised with a Black Pencil ? the D&AD Awards highest accolade ? for its visionOS operating system, which powers the recently launched Vision Pro mixed-reality headset.
"At Apple, design plays such a central role in defining not only how our products look, but most critically, how they work," Dye told Dezeen.
"Our goal has always been to create intuitive user experiences that blur the lines between hardware and software and reimagine how users interact with technology," he continued. "VisionOS is a powerful example of these principles in action." The Vision Pro's visionOS operating system won a Black Pencil at the D&AD Awards
Described by the brand as a "spatial computer", the Vision Pro's operating system and three-dimensional interface was created specifically for the headset. It allows users to navigate using a combination of eye, head and hand movements.
The interface was designed so that it can appear within the physical world and respond to natural light levels and shadows, with applications such as web browsers appearing to float three-dimensionally wherever the user looks.
