Apple's mixed-reality headset debut marks a "watershed moment" for the industry, said the executives of some major players in the augmented and virtual reality space as they welcomed competition for the U.S. tech giant.
Cher Wang, Taiwanese tech giant HTC's CEO, told CNBC that she sees Apple's move as a validation for the industry.
HTC has long been a mainstay of the virtual and augmented industry, pivoting from its ailing smartphone business several years ago to focus on its Vive headsets division.
Apple says the Vision Pro will allow users to see apps in a new way in the spaces around them.
With the headset, users can watch movies, including in 3D with spatial audio, view their own pictures or videos, and play video games.
