At their Worldwide Developers Conference, which kicks off tomorrow at the Apple Campus, will reportedly introduce a “mixed reality” headset.
It will offer both virtual reality and augmented reality, a technology that overlays virtual images on live video of the real world –with a real world price tag of $3000!
A AR/VR headset would be Apple’s biggest hardware product launch since the Apple Watch in 2015. It could signal a new era for the company and potentially revolutionize how millions interact with computers and the world around them.
According to Bloomberg, it may called Apple Vision Pro;
- an iOS-like interface
- display immersive video
- cameras and sensors to allow users to control it via their hands, eye movements and with Siri
- apps for gaming, fitness and meditation
- access to iOS apps such as Messages, FaceTime & Safari
- FaceTime option will “render a user’s face and full body in virtual reality,” to create the feeling that both are “in the same room”
It’s also rumored to have an outward-facing display that will show eye movements and facial expressions, allowing onlookers to interact with the person wearing the headset without feeling as though they’re talking to a robot.
But the headset is just one of many announcements expected. Apple will also announce software updates for iPhone and its iWatch.
Other tech companies have struggled to find mainstream traction for headsets and since Apple has been working on the product, tech has shifted focus from VR to artificial intelligence.
Tomorrow Apple also reportedly plans to preview a new AI-powered digital coaching service, which will encourage people to exercise and improve their sleeping and eating habits.
The event will be livestreamed on Apple’s website and YouTube, 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 p.m. ET June 4, 2023. Watch live here.
