When it comes to a Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) headgear from Apple, the delays appear to be endless. For approximately half a decade, the project has remained in the pipeline. As per sources, hardware and software glitches have frequently hindered it along the road. In light of the fact that this is a whole new invention for Apple, it’s not a huge shock. A fresh story claims that Apple’s board of directors had an in-person demonstration of it last week, thus it appears that the business is out of trouble.
Gurman Says-
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, representatives of the Central Committee were permitted to wear the mixed reality headset during the most latest quarterly meeting. In addition to Tim Apple, the committee meets at least four times every year. Indications are that this new headgear is well on its way to completion, given the group’s trust in the device.
It’s also notable because it’s not just an Augmented or Virtual gadget, but a combination of both. There have been conflicting rumors about whether it will be the latter. The M1-powered Augmented-Reality spectacles were expected by certain experts, but Bloomberg’s Gurman believed a headgear would come first.
The production of Apple’s native mixed reality applications is taking place simultaneously with the progress of the technology that will power them. As a result, the tech giant is also working on a revolutionary operating system called ROS, which stands for Reality Operating System. According to Gurman, the software development and the briefing to the committee can only indicate one lesson: the release is just around the corner. A release window of 2023 is now plausible for the gadget, which might be announced during the firm’s October tech presentation.

An important turning point will be reached when the iPhone maker enters the augmented reality/virtual reality space. This would be the first real invention from Apple since the Apple Watch was released in 2015. In addition, it will be the first solution to confront Meta’s monopoly head-on. Meta, on the other hand, has foreseen this and will launch Project Cambria, a high-end headgear, later in 2022. It was announced lately by Facebook( Now Meta) CEO Mark Zuckerberg that the hazy headgear would be available in 2022.
Until now, Apple’s mixed reality headgear has been long-awaited. According to a current report, the project has run into several roadblocks on the way from conception to completion. As per sources, Apple President Tim Cook has never been a big fan of the squad. In addition, the team operates in Sunnyvale rather than Apple Park.
As per rumors, the headgear is particularly susceptible to heating. Creating appealing content for smartphones has also been a problem. Nevertheless, that appears to be a common problem in the AR/VR business.
Of course, Meta is promoting the metaverse as the apex of mixed reality, but there are varying views on this. Rather than participating in the metaverse, Apple plans to build an environment of its own applications and services. The business’s headgear, which is expected to price at roughly $2,000, is certainly not a popular offering. At that rate, I’m hoping that cleaning the plates is one of the pleasures I get.
