Flashy tech embellishment king, Caviar, has unveiled a jazzed-up version of Apple’s Vision Pro, named the Oracle. Keeping the same tech specs as Apple’s original, this mixed-reality headset has been dipped in indulgence, with its highlights being a 24-karat gold frame and finely tanned leather.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill tech launch. The Oracle starts at a spicy $26,700 for the 256GB version, soaring to just shy of $30,000 for the 1TB option. Compare that with Apple’s vanilla Vision Pro’s price tag of $3,499, and it’s clear the Oracle is more about the luxury experience than just technology.

Every Oracle headset features a frame with 24-karat gold, applied through a double electroplating process that results in a 7-micron thick layer of opulence. The fine details continue with hand-stitched leather, finished with a special braguering tech to maintain the material’s natural grain. For those looking to customize, Caviar allows for personalized engravings, ensuring each of these 49 limited edition pieces is unique.

Underneath the gold and glamour, you’ll find the same powerhouse specs that gave Apple’s Vision Pro its leading edge. Powered by Apple’s M2 chip, featuring an 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and a 16-core neural engine, this luxurious headset also has a dedicated R1 chip for real-time sensor data processing.

Design customization is a significant selling point with the Oracle. Customers can personalize side inserts, switch up colors and materials, and even get their names, initials, or logos engraved on the headset. These bespoke options remain a testament to Caviar’s ability to cater to the elite gadget clientele, who are always on the look for that special touch.

While the Oracle’s performance parameters like refresh rates (90Hz, 96Hz, and 100Hz) and display pixel count (23 million) stay standard, it shifts the focus entirely to aesthetic grandeur. Such a move speaks volumes about the market Caviar aims to capture: gadget enthusiasts who view tech as jewels rather than mere tools.

As for its availability in places like the Middle East, there’s no official word yet. However, the region’s appetite for high-end luxury goods and new tech suggests the Oracle would feel right at home with its gilded, exclusive charm. Whether it ever makes its way there remains to be seen, but it wouldn’t be surprising if it does.
