We could soon see a new line of mixed reality devices from Apple, and it could be their first new product since the launch of the Apple Watch. According to analysts, the company has been working on the development of this technology for several years, so its own device of this kind is not so far from reaching the market.
Apple has been taking action since Meta announced the creation of its new virtual world called the Metaverse, which is why the brand could launch its first glasses before the end of 2022.
The glasses are expected to be mixed reality, meaning they will be a combination of augmented reality and virtual reality. They will also have a new operating system called rOS, since it's a technology said to be at an advanced stage of development.
What might these glasses look like?
Based on leaked information about the features this new device could have, the first glasses are expected to offer high resolution and operate completely independently. This means they won't need to be connected to any Apple device to be used. They would also incorporate proprietary chips.
However, the price is not expected to be within everyone's reach: it could range between $2,000 and $3,000. A very high price compared to Zuckerberg's Meta Quest 2.
Regardless of price, Apple's bet on its new technology is strong, and many companies building virtual reality platforms are waiting to see what happens to the metaverse when Apple launches its first glasses.
