More recently, in April 2018, CNET claimed,
citing “a person familiar with Apple’s plans”,
that a powerful wireless headset for both AR
and VR purposes was in the works at Cupertino.
Apple was reportedly planning an 8K display
for each eye, while the device as a whole would
work independently, without needing to rely
on a computer or smartphone. This headwear
was supposedly slated for a 2020 release, and is
another development that hints at an especially
exciting future for Apple’s AR efforts.
Whatever forms Apple’s AR and VR projects do
take in the years ahead, it seems to be more and
more the case that those projects are definitely
now being seriously undertaken – and we
absolutely can’t wait to read, see and directly
experience the results.
