So far, the company has problems - the price of glasses is too high and it is incomprehensible, for what an audience they write, writes the publication.
The company develops mixed reality glasses - with the help of cameras, they will transfer to the user video of the real world and complement it with virtual elements, writes the information with reference to sources familiar with development. It can be released already in 2022.
The headset codenamed N301 will have more dozen cameras to track the movements of the hands, eyes and shooting video, 8K display with ultra-high resolution and view tracking technology. Points completely block peripheral vision so that the outside light does not fall into the user's field of view, the source familiar with the product.
Apple develops several technologies for managing the headset, for example, a company can imagine thumbs for a finger, the publication writes. It is not known whether Apple plans to supply this device with glasses or sell it separately.
The publication looked at the internal images of Apple, on which the prototype of 2020: they see the shift bandages on the head. The information recreated the prototype image.
Apple's headset will cost more than most competitors. In 2020, the company discussed the possible price of $ 3,000, the source of the publication said. Oculus Virtual Reality Prices from Facebook, PlayStation VR from Sony, range from $ 300 to $ 1000, but a mixed reality headset from Microsoft Hololens costs about $ 3500.
Due to the high price, the company suggests a faithful number of deliveries - only about 250 thousand headset units in the first year of release, but plans may change, the source noted. In January, Bloomberg sources were told about this - they said that Apple could hardly be able to sell more than one device per day in each store.
So far, it is not clear to whom the device is calculated and for what purpose people will use it, writes the information. Probably, the company will focus on games, but according to the source of the publication, users will also access applications to increase productivity and education. The publication notes that this is still a young niche and it is unclear how the number of customers will grow.
The company appealed to Taiwanese Pegatron, which is engaged in the production of iPhone and iPad for Apple, for assembling the headset, says the interlocutor of the publication. However, the product is complex and risky, so Apple may postpone its release.
Apple spokesman refused to comment on this information. Pegatron did not respond to a request for comments.
According to the publication, Apple also works on a pair of smart points intended to impose virtual objects to the real world of man. The device can go out in 2023 - now he has serious technical problems.
