CT scans of the Vision Pro show how its design approach differs from Meta headsets

Industrial CT unlocks the hidden universes of AR and VR headsets.

Headsets built for virtual and augmented reality represent the bleeding edge of consumer electronics—packing high-resolution displays, immersive spatial audio, ultra-powerful processors, advanced sensor arrays, and inventive thermal management solutions into wearable devices. Apple Vision ProThe Quest 3 features a four-camera setup for spatial tracking and video passthrough, a Time of Flight sensor for depth sensing, showcasing a preference for infrared light over the more precise but costly LiDAR technology. These fans, attached with thermal compound and set against a metal chassis—which likely serves as a passive cooling element—are designed for quiet operation and direct heat away from the user, enhancing comfort without compromising performance.
