Mark Gourmet from Bloomberg, from "People who are informed about what is happening," learned that the glasses of augmented reality (Apple Glasses) will not come out in 2023. But something will happen already in 2022, and by this "something" will be the most amazing headset of virtual reality in the history of mankind - perhaps it is from it that the real story of wearable virtual and Augmented reality devices will begin. The development of a virtual reality headset is at the stage of later prototypes, at this stage, the options of the future product are experienced, the next stage is the development of a real product, and it is about to begin.
Until the end of 2022, the headset of the virtual and Augmented Reality Apple, at least plan to submit to the public. It is already known how this device should be. Easy, convenient to use, its processor will exceed the processor performance in the M1 chip, and the graphic power will be generally unprecedented - otherwise the headset will not be able to work with displays with high resolution. And his design will be Elegance and irresistible. Lie? Unlikely - Bloomberg has too serious reputation to expose her risk with fictional sensations.
However, the VR headset may easily go out in 2022, or even never. Even the most promising projects sometimes end in anything - such is life.
Apple Virtual Reality Helmet
Virtual reality headsets and smart glasses - according to Apple's leadership - the biggest and ambitious project. It is more than Mac and iPhone combined. Therefore, the strategy for the output of AR / VR devices to the market will be atypical for this company. Usually, Apple, I release an important novelty for it, does everything so that the demand for it is massive and hiotage. As a rule, its innovations are expensive, but just so much so that it does not prevent them from being sold by mass erases. Examples: iPhone, the first iMac, Airpods and many other Apple hits.
Apple virtual reality headset will be sold for $ 900-1000, more expensive than analogues sold for $ 300-500, but the purpose of its market entry will be not massive sales. Their task is running in and working out the concepts of a new device, training of own personnel and attracting users. One of the insiders compared this device with Mac Pro 2019, the prices of which begin with $ 5,999 (in the Russian Federation - from 621,990 rubles) and suggested that in the year of sales of the VR headset will be approximately the same - within 180-200 thousand pieces (So we learned, sorry for offtopic, the number of Mac Pro, bought from December 2019 to December 2020).
This will be a niche product.
Facebook with her Oculus, Sony Corporation with its PlayStation VR and HTC Corporation with its virtual reality headsets can sleep peacefully. Nobody threatens their sales yet. But the media will write exactly what Apple will introduce. And then, on the prepared ground, apple VR headsets will come for everyone - almost the same as the 2022 model, but cheaper.

Not in vain, Apple developments in a number of areas - in ultra-wideband communications and orientation, in microelectronics, in the use of Lidar and AR / VR in household appliances and those that we do not even suspect.
Why apple virtual reality helmet?
They say that Apple is engaged in this since 2008. It is lies and slander. This topic in Apple Computer was also interested in the late 80s, in the department of promising projects - the truth, then they were not called in any way. In Apple, this topic has accumulated a huge amount of information, in its archive an incredible number of original and completely insane ideas - and some of them are still "shots".
But this is gray antiquity. The newest History AR / VR in Apple began in 2015, after the creation of AR / VR devices headed Mike Rockwell. In 2017 it seemed that everything was already obtained by Tim Cook several times spent on his attitude to AR / VR devices. It should have been smart glasses with a function of augmented reality.
Against this concept, unexpectedly, Jonathan Ayov spoke: a hub is a vicious way. In order for smart points to conquer the market, an intermediate stage is required - VR headsets. They already existed, and from the point of view of Quince were terrible - severe, tedious, limited. In the end, Tim agreed with id. The group of industrial design came up with an incredible design for them, the ROS operating system was written for them (where "R" is a reduction from "Reality", "reality"), hardware engineers have developed a chic device, which in 2019-2020 should have been released in shine. Its output, like the ROS SDK output and the ROS App Store launch, were postponed.
At the end of 2019, the output of the device, system and everything that is connected with it, was reassigned for 2022-2023. But before that, in the coming 2020, all technologies for wearable AR and VR devices were decided to run on mobile devices and bring to perfection. Lidar, ultra-wideband communications and orientation technologies, and something else. Stage running in complete.
