Apple VR Headset: Features
The headset is expected to run on iOS 16 and have health tracking systems along with notifications. The same was revealed by Mark Gurman. Along with the VR headset, some announcement was made regarding the iOS 16. No more information is available regarding the features of the upcoming macOS and tvOS updates. The headset will be launched along with a full complement of software, hardware and services. This will of course, require some more work which means the announcement of the same might be delayed.
Previously, Apple VR Headset was expected to look like a regular pair of glasses and it will look like a normal pair of glasses but will be termed as Apple Glass. However, according to the leaks, the Apple VR Headset will look like any other regular VR headset. The headset could be heavily used for gaming, communication and media consumption. In short, the headset will be expensive. However, the next launch of the headset should be comparatively cheaper. The price of the Apple headset might be as high as $3000, which is actually pretty expensive but it is not a surprise, considering the fact, it is an Apple product of Apple.
The launch has the perfect timing especially when we talk about the timing of entering the virtual reality world. Soon, the virtual reality thing will enter the mainstream, thanks to Meta and other companies. Whenever the headset is launched, one will also know how this headset will work with the iPhone. A glimpse of the rOS is also expected to be there. Along with the announcement of the headset, one could also find more information about the Reality Operating System too. The details about the AR headset of Apple were actually unveiled during the Apple patent documents. The solid date of the launch is still unconfirmed, however, it will be either this year or the next for sure.
News:
Currently, the world is facing a global supply chain shortage and this has impacted the product development process along with delays in the launch cycles. However, this should not be the case with Apple because the headset apparently surfaced five years ago and therefore, there will be nothing that will hamper its launch date. Many companies are aggressively working towards the development of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality development and therefore, Apple needs to make a move for it as soon as possible.
Also, according to reports, there will be a difference between the VR/AR headset released by Apple and the actual Apple Glasses which will be purely based on augmented reality. Tim Cook has teased the future plans of Apple towards the AR plans but now, it looks like there has been substantial progress in the same. Once the headset is released, it is forecasted that the second version of the same will be released somewhere in 2024 that will come with a lighter but faster processor.
