In recent months we have seen how augmented reality and virtual reality have a great boost in the market. That is why many companies are jumping on the bandwagon of these technologies. It looks like one of the following will be Apple, which is currently working on augmented and virtual reality glasses. This is stated by various media such as CNET.
In the past, Tim Cook has stated that he sees a lot of future in the adoption of augmented reality. So it seems a logical step that Apple ended up adopting this technology in some of its products. Now, they do it with this viewer.
It would be glasses that will combine augmented and virtual reality. They will have an 8K screen in each eye and will work with microprocessors made by Apple itself. Its code name is TN88 and it is currently in an early stage. In fact, it is estimated that will not be released until 2020
This if Apple finally decides to launch these glasses on the market. Because although they are being developed, there are no guarantees that they will be launched. So in this sense we will still have to wait a while to know if we will actually see them in stores.
These glasses are expected to be capable of displaying virtual and augmented reality content. What's more, they would be completely independent from other Apple products such as the iPhone or Mac. So they are betting on a different strategy than other companies like HTC in this regard.
In addition, it would be a wireless product, which would give users much more freedom to use it. Something important, because the cables and the bulkyness of today's products is one of the biggest impediments to virtual reality today. We look forward to hearing more details about Apple's plans for this product soon.
