According to reports, Apple is expected to launch its first virtual reality glasses next year, and it seems that these will be based on a completely new operating system called RealityOS, which the company is secretly developing. Of course, Apple does not yet publish any details about the product, but developers who use the tool library that the company offers to app creators have succeeded. locate Several references to the name RealityOS are hidden in the code.
Among other things, it seems that the name RealityOS is explicitly mentioned in the report that accompanies new apps sent to the app store, a hint that Apple’s virtual reality glasses will support app installation and may even come with their own store. Another reference in the code is reminiscent of a “simulator”, which will allow developers to try out virtual reality apps without the need for the glasses themselves.
As for the product itself, we will mention that according to most reports Apple planned to launch the glasses already this year, but various design and manufacturing challenges led the company to postpone the launch into 2023. Apple’s M1 chipset is expected to deliver the performance, allowing the glasses to operate independently and unnecessarily When connected to an external device.
The advanced hardware will probably also have a particularly expensive price tag of thousands of dollars, at least for the first generation of the product. Over the next decade, Apple plans to invest a lot of effort in creating thinner, lighter and cheaper glasses, until these can actually replace the iPhone as the user’s main laptop.
