It’s no secret that Apple’s mixed reality glasses have been in development for a long time, perhaps even before the current trend. However, after various postponements, it seems that the company is interested in presenting them to the general public already this year and even held a closed demonstration. According to Bloomberg, the demonstration was in front of senior executives and decision makers of the company, only this time it was a more impressive display of purpose and was held at the Steve Jobs Conference Center at the headquarters in Cupertino.
Currently there aren’t many details about what exactly was shown to the guests, but the report claims that a large number of executives are now required to make a decision about the company’s expensive bet on a product that is currently considered experimental. Some team members who tested the mixed reality glasses say the design is uncomfortable. There are also reportedly some other concerns like limited media content, lack of apps that really make it a must-buy experience for Apple fans, and a high asking price.
In the meantime, it is published that the company’s employees expressed great concern about the product, which is not considered really ripe. According to the New York Times, some insiders at the company wondered if the glasses were developed for “a solution for another problem.” Sources told the media that “unlike the iPod, which allows you to carry digital songs in your pocket, and the iPhone, which combined the capabilities of a music player and a telephone, the glasses do not suffer from the same problems.
According to the details, some employees are said to have decided not to work on Apple’s Reality Pro project because they had concerns about its ability to succeed, while others were apparently fired after failing to make significant progress with certain features linked to the device. Either way the target date for Apple’s virtual reality glasses is still WWDC 2023.
