Apple has unveiled one of its most ambitious new hardware products in years.

It has released the mixed reality headset, officially named Vision Pro, at its Worldwide Developers Conference.

The headset looks like a hi-tech ski mask and is powered by a battery pack worn on the body.

It's controlled by tracking users' hands, voice and eyes.

BusinessDesk's Peter Griffin says it's meant to create a better experience.

"If you want to watch a movie, it basically- in the room you're in- casts a massive 180 degree screen in front of you in high definition."
