The Apple Pro headset, a $3,500 set of goggles, allows users to select elements in an app just by looking at them, according to The Associated Press.

The headset was unveiled at a software conference held at its Cupertino, California, headquarters eight months ago. It features a high‑performance eye‑tracking system of LEDs and infrared cameras that project invisible light patterns onto each eye.

According to Apple, the goggles’ operating system will be compatible with more than 1 million apps designed for the iPhone and iPad.

Pre-orders begin Jan. 19, but buyers will have to go to a store to be properly fitted for the goggles, which are controlled with the eyes and a few simple hand gestures, according to the AP.

The Vision Pro is Apple’s first new product since it introduced the Apple Watch 10 years ago.
