Click a button with your right hand, and an iPhone-like home screen appears. Glance at a photo or icon, then pinch your fingers to “double-click”. You can scroll through photos with a swiping gesture, or zoom in as if a giant smartphone were projected in front of your face. 6park.com得益于眼球和手部动作追踪,使用该设备从一个app切换到另一个app的体验极为直观。用右手点击一个按钮,就会出现一个类似iPhone的主屏幕。看一眼照片或图标,然后捏合手指就可以“双击”。你可以借助滑动手势滚动浏览照片,或者放大显示照片,就像一个巨大的智能手机投射在你的面前。 6park.com——本文2023年6月7日发布于FT中文网,英文原题为Hands on with Apple’s Vision Pro: bringing the metaverse to life
