Apple completes production test for AR/VR headset: Report
Cupertino-based tech giant Apple has reportedly completed major production tests for its long-running augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets. According to DigiTimes, the device has completed Phase II Engineering Validation Testing (EVT2) to ensure that the prototype units meet Apple’s design goals and specifications.
The report states that the headset is expected to debut by the end of 2022.
To offer innovative hand tracking, the headset will come with a number of highly sensitive 3D sensing modules. Structured light sensors can detect objects in the hand, compared to which Face ID is able to detect facial expressions to generate emojis. The headset will focus on gaming, media consumption and communication.
It will have two processors, one with the same level of computing power as the M1, as well as a low-end chip to handle input from various sensors. The headset may come with at least six-eight optical modules that provide AR services through simultaneous continuous video viewing. The device is also said to feature two 4K OLED microdisplays from Sony.
The upcoming Apple headset will be similar to the Oculus Quest, and some prototypes being tested include external cameras to enable some AR features.
It could feature at least 15 camera modules, eye-tracking, possibly iris recognition, and could cost between $2,000 and $3,000.
The AR headset is expected to sport a sleek design so that it is lightweight and comfortable for the wearer to carry around for long hours.
