Apple's VR headset due in 2022
Apple launched the first virtual reality headset. The company plans to release the gadget on sale in 2022. The corporation expects the new products to compete with similar brands such as Oculus, Sony and HTC. The preliminary cost of the headset is still unknown, but is likely to be higher than in other companies.
The main task of a VR helmet is to display interactive digital reality in a three-dimensional image. The device will be equipped with a powerful processor, the characteristics of which even surpass the M1 chipset used in flagship Mac models. It should be noted that the AR functionality of the gadget is somewhat limited. The headset from Apple will work autonomously, i.e. without connecting to a computer. The distance between the head and the VR headset, which the creators maintain for people wearing eyeglasses, will be reduced. An alternative would be the ability to attach lenses directly to the screen itself. Inside the helmet the developer will supply a fan for cooling. And for the manufacture of some elements of the headset, they plan to use a special fabric. Thus, the manufacturer will reduce the weight of the product.
Considering that Appel faced difficulties during development and testing, one should not expect massive sales. The VR headset will be categorized as a niche product. According to the source, the helmet will act as a predecessor to a more advanced brother, augmented reality glasses. They will have affordable and improved technology, and they will look like solar ones. They will go on free sale in a few years. are going through the early testing stage.
