Finally some leaks/hints about what Apple will sell as head/eye ware. Will we buy? Liked the idea, even had some use cases long ago, can they still fly? AI integration ideas?
Apple VR/AR mixed reality headset vs Apple Glass in Tom'sGuide
Apple Glass
According to reports, the Apple VR/AR mixed reality headset is designed to be a precursor to Apple Glass. The AR lenses are supposed to offer an "optical see-through AR experience," according to Ming-Chi Kuo. However Apple Glasses may not arrive for a long time, with Apple reportedly delaying the project due to technical challenges.
Based on everything we've heard, Apple Glass is designed to look and act like an ordinary lightweight pair of glasses. We're talking about glasses that are able to project information, and presumably imagery, onto the lenses.
The Apple VR/AR mixed reality headset is expected to be like a typical VR headset, but one with a number of exterior cameras and sensors that unlock bonus functionality.
That way Apple's VR and mixed reality headset can offer body tracking, and incorporate real-world environments in a virtual space. Plus, the Apple VR headset could incorporate a see-through experience that can deliver a form of augmented reality. So it's more like the Meta Quest Pro, rather than the VR-only Meta Quest 2.
Unlike the Meta Quest Pro, however, Apple may not be jumping on the "metaverse" bandwagon. Mark Gurman has claimed that the Apple headset will be designed for short trips into VR. In fact, Apple is said to have declared the metaverse "off limits". Users will be able to use the mixed reality headset for communication, content viewing and gaming, but it won't be a device you wear all day, or as a replacement for real life.
