Prepare your space before using Apple Vision Pro

Apple Vision Pro has built-in safety features to help prevent collisions and falls, but it’s also important to make sure your space is free of obstacles and hazards before you put on your Apple Vision Pro as certain conditions — like low light — may affect these safety features.

Use your Apple Vision Pro in controlled indoor and outdoor spaces, and always remain aware of your surroundings and body posture during use. Apple Vision Pro should never be used on or near roads, streets, or any other area where moving objects present a collision risk.

Read all the information below before using your Apple Vision Pro.

Set up your space

Ensure your space is clear of any obstacles you could bump into, trip over or hit with your hands. Immersive experiences or loss of power while wearing Apple Vision Pro may block your ability to see.
Avoid obstacle — like doorknobs — that may catch the power lead and cause it to disconnect. Remove Apple Vision Pro immediately if a loss of system power occurs.
Ensure your space is dry and level to reduce the likelihood of falls or collisions.
Do not use Apple Vision Pro around stairs, balconies, railings, glass, mirrors, sharp objects, sources of excessive heat (such as a hob or oven), windows or other hazards.
Apple Vision Pro is not water resistant. If you use it outside in a controlled environment (like your back garden), do not expose Apple Vision Pro to rain or fog.
Apple Vision Pro is not intended for use where the failure of the device could lead to death, personal injury or severe environmental damage (such as operating a moving vehicle).
Never use the device while operating a moving vehicle, bicycle, heavy machinery, or in any other situations requiring attention to safety.
Be aware of furniture and other obstacles, pets and children while using the device.

See your surroundings while immersed

Apple Vision Pro may not detect all objects in your space — like glass, mirrors and stairways — and can only detect objects at eye level.

To increase the likelihood that objects in your surroundings are detected:

Use Apple Vision Pro in a well-lit environment.
Note: Remain stationary while using Apple Vision Pro in low light, as awareness features are limited. You may also see a notification to brighten your lighting in Control Centre.
Do not run or make sudden movements while using Apple Vision Pro.
Avoid using Apple Vision Pro around moving objects, like fans.

Important: Apple Vision Pro is designed to fit and be used by individuals 13 years of age or older. Children aged 13 years and older should be supervised by an adult while using.
