Apple is working on a mixed-reality headset, but what should you expect from it? We have all the news, rumors, features, and more to keep you informed.
In recent months, rumors about Apple working on a top-secret headset project have reached a fever pitch. But at the same time, the chatter has become increasingly convoluted — Apple is reportedly planning to use mixed reality rather than solely augmented reality or virtual reality , but how exactly will that work? What will the device look like? And what features will it have?
There are still hopes that an announcement could be on the horizon. A report from analysts at Morgan Stanley in mid-November 2021 pointed out that the Apple headset is mirroring the pattern taken by the Apple Watch shortly before its own reveal in 2014. Like the Watch, the headset has seen a notable increase in patents in recent months, including those for its hardware, input methods, and user interface.
Then there is the augmented reality side. To make this happen, the headset is going to require cameras to capture the outside world and feed it back to you. According to The Information, there will be up to a dozen cameras and lidar sensors mounted on the device, the latter of which Apple has already incorporated into devices like the iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Pro to help with augmented reality processing.
An 8K feast for your eyes It is not just the exterior of Apple’s headset that sounds promising, as the interior could come with some eye-opening features, too — quite literally in the case of the display resolution. It is rumored to be a whopping 8K per eye, giving an unprecedented level of detail. For comparison, the HTC Vive Cosmos Elite comes with a 1440 x 1700 resolution per eye.
One thing we have not seen much news on is the refresh rate and field of view that will be used in the headset’s displays. The refresh rate will need to be high enough that lag and motion sickness are kept to an absolute minimum, and rival headsets typically aim for 90Hz or higher. We will have to wait and see what Apple opts for here.
