@markgurman Yet an other report from Mr gurman that suggests a focus on gaming while the information report suggests a neglect of gaming....I wonder who’s right this time....personally I believe Bloomberg
@mad_hominem@markgurman@samsheffer still sci-fi , the insane challenges that face AR tech makes it unlikely to ship a compelling AR product to consumers in the form factor you’re describing before at least a decade, for now you have to settle for a noticeably large headset or very limited in functionality glasses
@maric_viktor@Scobleizer Object capture is a photogrammetry, it would take an insane amount of pics and effort to create a 3D environment using that and it still won’t look as good as nerfs....nerfs need just a few pictures to arrive to quicker and better results
@cesarberardini@Apple “Apple reality something”
so that they can use “reality” for other products like the glasses kinda like “Mac” and “AirPods” is shared across a bunch of related products
@TheAppleDesign@markgurman I guess you never heard of audioOS, it was the internal name used for the firmware that runs HomePod.
Also who’s to say this device can’t be called something in the lines of “Apple Reality”?
@wongmjane@markgurman According to this, you’ll be able able to simulate the headset on your Mac so that you can develop apps for it without needing the headset...
@markgurman What about gaming Mark? You reported the headset would/should have a focus on gaming but theInformation reported the exact opposite of that, so what’s the story here?
@itsKimberlyWTF @rebeccamulberg @markgurman Yeah I was with her until she suggested VR headsets at theater....why would I want to wear a sweaty headset that is shared by multiple strangers at a theater instead of buying my own one and using it at home? I’m excited for AR/VR headsets so that I don’t have to go to theaters
@markgurman please if you could address this here or on your Power On; I remember that you reported on multiple occasions that this headset will/should have a focus on Gaming but the last report from the information claims that gaming was never a focus for the team, what’s really going on
@VadimYuryev@jamesburland It was eventual, mainstream tech products for the most have matured and stagnated, users don’t feel the need to upgrade as often as before when the upgrade is incremental at best.
there needs to be something new to catch people’s attention, perhaps a new device category?
@assadollahi@rabovitz@SkarredGhost@stanlarroque@konttori Samsung is teaming up with Microsoft this time,could turn out good or make them go the way of Nokia.
Google is reportedly working on the same thing as apple and meta.
Sony is focusing on the gaming side of XR with psvr.
Bytedance (pico) is a potentially sleeping giant to watch
