Zoom is launching its native Vision Pro app on February 2 — the day of Apple’s ambitious mixed reality headset launch. Zoom has now highlighted some of the prominent features of the app and has confirmed its ability to reproduce accurate facial and hand moments for a real-life-like collaborative experience.

Zoom will be a free-to-use app on Vision Pro, which according to the company will offer a native experience of a meeting by delivering exceptional audio and video quality. The prominent features of Zoom on Vision Pro include Personas, which offers authentic spatial representation, which allows other participants to see accurate facial expressions and hand moments.

Zoom also claims that the spatial experience on Vision Pro will create an immersive yet perfectly scaled avatar, which will look just like the colleagues and customers are in the same room, that too without requiring any additional equipment, and these features will be available at launch.

Zoom also plans on adding more features and capabilities to its native Vision Pro app, which includes 3D object sharing, zoom team chat, real-world pinning, and more. Microsoft also recently announced a new product called Mesh, a platform that can host 3D meetings in Teams, which will be compatible with popular VR headsets like Meta Quest.

While some developers like Zoom and Disney are offering native Vision Pro apps, brands like YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify have chosen not to develop a native app for Vision Pro, at least as of now, however, one can access these services via the Safari web browser.
