Apple Vision Pro- New leaks reveal Everything!
The YouTube video description summarizes the current rumors and speculations about Apple VR Headset. According to the information gathered from patent filings, insider reports, and leaked documents, Apple has been experimenting with virtual and augmented reality technologies for almost 20 years, and now it's taking its dabbling more seriously.
Reportedly, the Apple VR headset will compete with Meta and Microsoft's offerings, but with better optimizations and features that could push the device even further, possibly at a higher price point. The company is said to be working on a lightweight and durable headset, with a body made of aluminum, glass, and cushions, similar to the design of its AirPods Max headphones.
One of the most significant advantages of the Apple's VR headset could be its weight. The headset is rumored to weigh as little as 150 grams, half the weight of many competing devices, thanks to the use of lightweight fabric instead of heavy plastic in the frame.
The device is said to have two or three high-resolution 4K micro-OLED displays, resulting in an 8K full resolution with up to 3,000 pixels per inch. The micro-OLED displays are thinner, smaller, and more power-efficient than standard OLED panels, making them ideal for AR and VR applications. The headset will also include an outer external display, which will show the facial expressions of the headset's wearer to the people around them, reducing the sense of isolation felt when using the device.
The Reality Pro is expected to have over a dozen optical cameras for tracking hand movements, mapping the environment, capturing facial features and body movements, and projecting visual experiences. Eye and hand tracking will be the main control method for the headset, with cameras monitoring the eyes and hands. The headset can be controlled by looking at an on-screen item to select it, then using a hand gesture like a pinch to activate the item on the screen.
The Apple VR headset will integrate an iris scanner that can read the pattern of the user's eye, allowing an iris scan to be used instead of a password and for payment authentication. The headset will also employ short and long-range LiDAR scanners to accurately map surfaces, edges, and dimensions of rooms.
The video description also hints at the possibility of Apple creating a new operating system for the mixed reality headset, which may be called "xrOS." The company has filed several trademarks that include the word "Reality," such as Reality One, Reality Pro, and Reality Processor, which may suggest the name of the device.
Overall, the mixed reality headset from Apple seems to be a highly advanced and sophisticated device that will push the boundaries of virtual and augmented reality technology. With the launch expected in 2023, it will be interesting to see how the device is received by consumers and how it fares against its competitors in the market.
