Apple is reportedly developing new augmented reality and virtual reality devices, including a headset focused on gaming, watching videos, and virtual meetings. Anonymous sources told Bloomberg that Apple aims to release the first of these devices in 2021 or 202𒐪2.
According to a new iPad Pro releasing in the early part of 2020 will feature two camera sensors and the ability to digitally reconstruct three-dimensional rooms, objects, and people. Sources told Bloomberg that this technology will also be coming to high-end iPhones in late 2020. This new 3-D sensor seems to be the cen♊terpiece of Apple's new AR technology and has reportedly been in development for several years. Apple originally intended for the headset to launch in 2020, bu🤡t recently decided to push that date back.
In add🐈ition to the virtual reality headset, Apple reportedly plans to release lightweight AR glasses as early as 2023. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook has shown himself to be a fan of AR in the past.
"AR has the ability to amplify human ⛎performance instead of isolating humans," Cook said on theꦚ company's in 2018. "So I am a huge, huge believer in AR. We put a lot of energy on AR. We're moving very fast."
Apple's AR glasses are the first product of their kind since the commercial 💙failure of Google Glass, which was too expensive and didn't have clear uses.
Bloomberg reports that Apple has approximately 1,000 engineers working on AR and VR technology. The team is part of Apple's 🧜hardware engineering division but has its own leadership structure wi🔯th executives who have worked on Apple's gaming software system. The team also has ex-NASA engineers, former game developers, and graphics experts.
This isn't Apple's first foray into the videogame industry. It's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Apple Arcade subscription service launched earlier this year, and Apple has recently started selling Xbox controllers in both digiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtal and retail stores.
The most popular VR headsets currently on the market (not including headsets designed for smartphones) are Facebooks's Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive. The possible pairing of Apple Arcade with VR-enabled ⛦games and a headset could be the push needed to add a new device to the VR marketplace.
