They filter the most anticipated ‘gadget’ from Apple since the iPhone: this is all we know

Apple plans to compete in the headset market with augmented reality and virtual reality. If nothing goes wrong, after five years of work, the Cupertino company will present its first mixed reality glasses, known as Reality Pro, before the end of the year, possibly at the beginning of summer. Recently, the ‘Bloomberg’ agency has shared various data on the operation of the device, which is expected to be around 3,000 dollars. The viewer, which will incorporate the powerful M2 self-made chip, will be compatible with virtual reality and augmented reality, so the user can switch between the two technologies. The second allows the Internet user to superimpose digital information on reality; something similar to what we can achieve in ‘apps’ like Instagram with the filters. The viewfinder will work largely thanks to the internal and external cameras that it will incorporate. Thanks to them, the device will be able to follow the movements that the user makes with his eyes in order to select the different options on the screen. In addition, the helmet will not incorporate any external controls. Unlike the glasses from Meta, a company formerly known as Facebook, the user who uses the Reality Pro will be able to simply use their hands as a control thanks to those cameras located on the outside of the ‘gadget’, according to ‘Bloomberg’ it will be necessary to make some specific gestures to give orders to the device. In the event that the user wants to use them to write some text, they can use their iPhone or iPad to do so. Inside, the glasses will have two ultra-high resolution screens manufactured by Sony. It should be remembered that the Japanese company, in just a few weeks, will launch its second generation of headsets for PlayStation, the PS VR 2. The device will also have a kind of digital crown with which the user can easily switch between virtual reality and augmented reality modes. Conferences, videos and games The glasses will incorporate a new interface designed by Apple. The user will be able to use the viewer to conduct virtual meetings and video conferences based on FaceTime. To do this, Apple has implemented software that will “realistically” present the face and full body of a user in virtual reality, that is, an avatar. Meetings with avatars can only be two people given the “immense processing power” that these videoconferences require. However, if you want to make a meeting with more users, that is also possible, but the additional members will appear as an icon or an Apple Memoji, as sources close to Apple have explained. Obviously, the device can also be used to watch videos, images or play video games. Precisely, Apple has been working with large companies, including developers dedicated to ‘gaming’ or Disney, to have content to tempt its potential users. According to Bloomberg, Apple intends to “shake up the virtual reality industry”, the same one that is expected to be key to the crystallization of the new virtual world called the metaverse, that term that the apple company does not like so much, although, in the end, the movements he intends to make do not seem to be very different from those of Meta and Zuckerberg.
