Apple Might Launch A Headset With AR and VR Capabilities
Apple is planning to release a “helmet type” headset with AR and VR capabilities in 2025, followed by AR glasses in 2030. The final product will be AR contact lenses which are scheduled to launch in the 2030s. ..
Headset With AR and VR Capabilities in 2022
According to Kuo, the current prototype of the AR and VR headset is likely to weigh between 200 and 300 grams. This will make it much easier for users to control the device, as well as making it more comfortable to wear.
Apple is reportedly working on a new iPhone that will be significantly lighter than its predecessors. If successful, the final product could weigh as little as 100-200 grams. ..
The new Sony micro-OLED headsets will feature independent computing power and storage, making them more like a portable product than a mobile product. Kuo says they will be positioned more like a portable product rather than a mobile product.
As far as the price of these headsets is concerned, Kuo predicts that they will be “similar to that of a high-end iPhone,” which is around the lines of USD 1,000. However, Kuo is a supply chain analyst so his idea of pricing might not be the most accurate.
AR Glasses
The next highlight is the announcement that Apple will launch its AR glasses by 2025. Kuo says that the prototype production is yet to begin.
Apple’s own “optical see-through AR experience” would overlay AR elements onto the real world.
Kuo says that the AR glasses “may have” independent computing power and storage space. He says that the production of both AR and VR headsets and AR glasses will be parallel.
AR Contact Lenses in 2030s
The final highlight of the report is that Apple will launch AR contact lenses after 2030. However, there is no visibility for the launch schedule yet. He says that Apple will focus on “invisible computing” with its AR contact lenses. There is very little probability of these AR contact lenses having any independent computing power and storage. ..
Apple is expected to release its first AR and VR headset in the near future. This headset will have capabilities for both AR and VR.
