Mixed reality glasses are the next big product that Apple will bring to the market. However, the device ran into many obstacles that disrupted its schedule. Now Mark Gurman, journalist bloomberg and the most trusted source for information about future Apple products, reports that the company postponed the presentation of glasses.
However, the wait won’t be that long. Apple’s original plan was to introduce their mixed reality glasses in April, but they decided postpone until June. That’s why, will take place during WWDC 2023.
Typically, WWDC is an event dedicated to revealing Apple software news. However, there have been places in the past to talk about new hardware.
The above, in fact, served the developers, the target audience of WWDC, to get acquainted with the recently introduced devices and, of course, with the tools that will allow you to create applications for them.
However, according to Gurman, the delay in the announcement wasn’t about drawing more attention to the annual developer event. What actually happened was: earlier this month Apple has run several tests on the mixed reality glasses and found several glitches in both software and hardware..
Obviously, the device cannot be in such conditions during the presentation. Therefore, Apple needs more time to polish the product.
Those from Cupertino can’t take lightly about introducing Apple Reality Pro, as the glasses are supposed to be called. For the first time since 2015, the company will try its hand at a completely new market segment. For now, the Apple Watch remains the last major product that Apple has introduced in the consumer technology space.
Apple will use advanced technologies in the world of virtual reality and augmented reality
A few weeks ago, Gurman himself improved some of the technical characteristics of Apple Reality Pro, for example, thanks to eye trackingusers will be able to scroll through different sections of the interface simply by moving their eyes.
On the other hand, instead of relying on an external controller like Microsoft’s HoloLens or Meta Quest Pro do, Apple wants your hands to be an “input device”. The external cameras of the glasses will be able to identify the movements of your fingers. and based on them to represent different types of actions in the interface. For example, connecting the index finger with the thumb will be like touching the screen.
Apple Reality Pro has made a bet on augmented reality and virtual reality, and the company has a great idea to take you from one experience to another. Specifically, it will include a digital crown very similar to the Apple Watch. By rotating it, users will be able to switch between technologies.
Of course, you can get used to the idea that Apple’s mixed reality glasses will not be cheap at all. Gourmet believes that its price can reach 3000 USDnumber that not everyone can afford.
