Apple to launch new Mixed Reality Headset by end of 2023

-Mixed Reality headsets are a type of wearable technology that blends the real and virtual worlds to create a new experience.

-Apple has been rumored to be working on a mixed reality headset, which is expected to be a stand-alone device. 

MR headsets use sensors, cameras and other technologies to track the user’s surroundings and then overlay digital content onto it, anchoring virtual objects to specific points in the real world. Apple has been workin on such a headset which has its own processor and operating system. Reports suggest that the headset may include a high-resolution, display eye-tracking technology, and advanced sensors for spatial mapping and hand-tracking.

What is a Mixed Reality headset and how does it work?

Mixed Reality combines both aspects of Ar and VR to create an engaging and immersive experience. MR places digital objects into the real world and allows users to interact with them in a more natural way. MR presents the best experience of both worlds.This is achieved through the use of spatial mapping and real-time tracking of the user’s positions and movements.

The primary difference between MR and other types of headsets is that MR allows virtual objects to interact with the real world, creating a more interactive experience. When a user puts on a MR headset, they see the world through a transparent or semi-transparent lens, while digital content is overlaid on top of their view. The sensors and trackers send feedback data which is processed and adjustments are made accordingly. 

MR also uses hand-tracking technology which allows users to interact with virtual objects using natural hand gestures, rather than relying on physical controllers. This creates a more intuitive and engaging experience and allows users to manipulate virtual objects in a more natural way. MR  basically offers a compelling way to interact with digital content. 

Apple’s project on a MR headset

According to recent reports, Apple’s MR headset is expected to be a standalone device, which means it would not require a tethered connection to a computer or mobile device. It is also speculated that the headset will use LIDAR sensors, which are currently used in some of Apple’s devices such as the iPa Pro and iPhone 12 Pro, to accurately map the user’s surroundings and enable precise tracking of hand movements. 

 The headset is rumored to have advanced sensors,and high-resolution displays. Other reports suggest that Apple is developing a new operating system specifically for the MR headset, which would offer a unique user interface and features optimized for mixed reality experiences. Apple has also been working on creating a suite of apps, and games to showcase the capabilities of the MR headset. 

The rumored release date for Apple’s MR headset has been pushed back several times, with some reports suggesting it may not be released until June 2023. The headset is expected to be priced higher than other consumer VR headsets on the market, reflecting Apple’s focus on premium products and experiences. The company has been investing in AR and VR technologies for several years and has already released products such as ARKit and the Apple watch.

 Overall, while the exact reasons behind Apple’s interest in MR technology are not known, there are several potential motivations behind the development of an MR headset, including the company’s existing investments in AR/AR technologies.
