Apple doesn’t market the Vision Pro as a VR headset, but it most definitely is, given its ability to transport users into virtual worlds with a press of a digital crown.

For example, the Vision Pro can be paired with a MacBook to extend its displays virtually, projecting three to four monitors that let you multitask with ease.
