Apple just unveiled its hotly-anticipated mixed-reality headset called "Vision Pro."

After years of rumors circulating about the product, the headset and its many features were finally revealed at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday.

Here's a look at some pictures showing off the headset's features.

Apple's Vision Pro headset is controlled by the movements of your hands, eyes, and voice commands. You can browse through apps by looking at icons, and you can tap and flick your fingers to select items and scroll. You can also use your voice to dictate commands.

The headset's "EyeSight" technology displays the wearer's eyes when you are communicating with someone who is physically in front of you — bringing you back to reality.

While on FaceTime, the headset will project a "persona" digital image of you that will match your real-time facial and hand movements. Your digital "persona" is created using machine learning from Apple.
