#2Well if true that would be a good news. Can't wait that more R&D is pushed into VR so that it becomes more than a toy. And especially Apple who knows how to release hardware that works

#3I was hoping that Apple would be making AR spectacles, and not a VR headset.
I was really excited by the possibilities of Google's Glass and really disappointed when they killed it off.
I want a HUD in my glasses. I want to read text messages and get navigation directions without having to look down at a screen.

#4idk if this prediction is already all over the place, but sure sounds like the iPad pricing: Rumors say $1k, launched at $499 for base model, lots of press about how affordable it is.

Jokes aside, I agree - I think they're taking their time with this and it might bring something interesting to the scene.

I myself heard those would be explicitly VR glasses, though transparent, but without any "mixed reality" type fluff.

#7I heard that they hit a snag few years ago when they ran into spat with Beijing University which controls the critical display tech.
I also heard that iGoggles projects was closed, and launched again 3 times already.

#8I bought an Oculus Quest 2 when it came out and it's pretty fantastic. The whole experience with setup and gaming is excellent, especially for the price.
There are plenty of little rough edges that I feel like Apple would do a good job of smoothing off. Things like not being able to get phone notifications or use bluetooth headphones.

#9I could see this as a virtual office, as some of the comments speculate.
If I had a set of AR glasses that projected what appeared to be an 8K monitor on top of my dining room table, and integrated with my MacBook Pro for input / output, and that had batteries to last a workday, I’d pay $2K/$3K. Even more if it worked well at brightness levels I’d have in my backyard.
Never mind gaming, mobile high-quality virtual office is good enough.

Doesn’t matter. People will line up out of the door for them because... Apple.
