As with any first-generation device of novel design, the main appeal for early adopters will be to experience the bleeding edge of Apple's first-party spatial computing applications while the broader software ecosystem develops and matures over the headset's first few years of life.
Apple VIsion Pro is not primarily a camera of course, but it is in part a device for capturing photos and videos. The Vision Pro will be able to capture spatial photos and video, using a button along the top edge of the goggle part of the device. The Vision Pro will then use its infrared, depth-sensing TrueDepth camera as well as its onboard LiDAR scanner to capture depth information along with photo and video. You don't need a Vision Pro to do this though; the iPhone 15 Pro is also capable of spatial photography and video as well. You will, however, need an Apple Vision Pro to revisit them in 3D.
