The launch of the Apple Vision Pro in China seems imminent, after a major retailer launched a 3D shopping app designed for the headset.
Alibaba’s Taobao online marketplace has launched a new shopping app in the country, reports the South China Morning Post. The app, released on Friday, is made specifically for the Apple Vision Pro.
As you would expect from a visionOS app, Taobao’s offering is capable of 3D functions, and is said to provide a way to experience what consumer electronics, appliances, and furniture would look like inside the customer’s home.
In one user’s example, browsing a DJI drone showed the device flying in the Vision Pro interface. The user could then move the drone within their augmented reality viewpoint with hand gestures, and inspect the model in more detail at any angle.
