An industrial scan made of Apple’s latest flagship device shows the relevant role of design and engineering within Cupertino
Apple Vision Pro in-depth industrial scanning
Apple is one of those companies that designs and builds its devices in a very deep and detailed way. They demonstrate this with Apple Vision Pro, and now we can learn a little more about these details thanks to an industrial scanner made by Lumafield. It is a wonderful example of engineering that integrates cameras, sensors and the technologies that make Apple glasses possible.
The design of Apple Vision Pro is the most relevant, also inside
All the interior space of Vision Pro is well designed; those from Cupertino took advantage of every corner allowed to equip a device that we already know has one of the best technologies in the world. According to Lumafield, “the main circuit board is built around a flexible PCB ribbon.”
They highlight a special design and engineering spirit behind Apple products indicating that the Apple designers are known for implementing complex challenges to target hardware and software performance, but without compromising the appearance of the device.
About the cost of Apple Vision Pro, they indicate that comparing them with the Meta headphones they have different product focuses and that is seen in the markets to which they are directed. At first, this quality can be seen from the Sony micro-OLED screens that the Apple product has. This non-destructive disassembly is interesting as it can offer a perspective of all the components in detail, from the sensors and processors to the batteries, thermal management, and Vision Pro audio.
A media economy at Meta and Apple marking a new generation of technology
The folks at Lumafield conclude that Meta’s headphones are a “surprising economy of means” by stating that they are “delivering as much as possible using fewer quantities” of parts and designs. Apple has made a fancy statement with the fact that the Apple Vision Pro is a “space computer.” This term marks a new era in time and will reflect the path that will be taken in reality, it can be virtual, augmented, mixed or another type.
Draws attention to the thermal management section due to the way Apple implemented the cooling technology in its glasses. They are “microblowers that ensure that both the chip and the display circuit board are cool” most of the time.
The quiet operation is because “the microblowers are bonded to a thermal compound and placed against a metal chassis.” It is surprising how this factor is achieved without compromising the user experience and above all thinking about the safety of the users by having a device on your face.
