Apple is preparing to unveil its next MR (mixed reality) headset soon, and the device was presented to Apple’s Top 100 executives last week at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California, according to Bloomberg. Marco Guman. The new report suggests that Apple is eyeing a WWDC 23 launch (this June) for the headset that will reportedly debut as the Apple Reality Pro or Apple Reality One and will be one of its biggest launches in a long time.
According to Gurman, the development of the headset has been presented to Apple executives numerous times over the years, but the latest preview was a final stepping stone before the grand unveiling this June with its hefty $3,000 price tag.
Furthermore, The New York Times also shared some key details about Apple’s foray into the world of mixed reality via anonymous Apple executives who were in attendance at last week’s preview in Cupertino. The headset is said to feature a ski goggle design with a carbon fiber frame and an accompanying pouch that houses its external battery. The battery is said to last a couple of hours. The earpiece design doesn’t suit people who wear glasses, but Apple is reportedly planning to offer custom prescription lenses for displays.
The latest report confirms dual 4K displays inside and a “Reality Dial” that allows the user to zoom in or out the video of their surroundings in real time. The headset will appeal to different user groups, including artists, with its ability to track head and hand movement for use with drawing and design apps.
Video conferencing is another key aspect of the device with a special “Copresence” app that allows users to spend time together in VR. Apple will also bring custom Hollywood content from Hollywood directors.
