Okta launches Okta Verify for Apple Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro users now have quick and secure passwordless access to their business apps. Okta Verify for Apple Vision ProTM is available now.
Beautiful design, incredible engineering, and a crisp user experience. They’re the hallmarks of every Apple product — and Apple Vision Pro is no exception.
As Apple’s most high-profile new product launch for some years, Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset, released earlier this year, introduced Apple’s concept of “spatial computing,” using augmented reality to display floating windows and content over the user’s immediate surrounding environment.
Apple Vision Pro at work: A productivity powerhouse
Apple Vision Pro has a huge range of potential uses. But it’s in business that Apple Vision Pro is gaining real traction. In fact, more than 50 Fortune 100 organizations have purchased the new product. Apple Vision Pro’s killer feature is workplace productivity: How many windows do you have open right now? How many external monitors do you use at your desk? Imagine if all of those screens and windows could be placed in a virtual floating workspace with the ability to visualize when designing a new product.
