Revisiting the Apple Vision Pro after our review last year reveals how much this wearable powerhouse has raised the bar for blind and low vision accessibility. Apple has not only upgraded hardware and comfort, but also unveiled stronger accessibility features with vision. Users now benefit from advanced Zoom—allowing detailed magnification of both apps and their physical surroundings—and Live Recognition, which uses on-device machine learning to describe objects, find signs, and provide audio feedback for everything in sight. Voiceover and Braille Access remain fully integrated, supporting independent navigation and note-taking across apps, documents, and even real-world objects.
A year ago, one of the highlights was the easy-to-use Voice Control system. You simply speak out what you want—opening apps, sending messages, or browsing—no hands or remote required. For those who want an extra twist, Apple’s “Sound Actions” feature lets users assign mouth noises to device commands. Think beatboxing—but with purpose. If you can “cluck,” “pop,” or channel your inner Dougie Fresh, you can launch an app, return to the home screen, or adjust settings. This quirky technique is not just for fun; it genuinely improves hands-free accessibility and daily independence.
The result? Vision Pro remains a top choice for those seeking accessible tech that doesn’t compromise on style or substance. Apple’s unique take on voice and sound controls even adds a pinch of humor to daily routines, ensuring blind and low vision users have reliable, modern tools that match any situation—whether you’re making calls or making beats.
