For several months now, rumors have repeatedly announced that the launch of Apple Glass is imminent. But the Cupertino company is still reluctant to show us the slightest thing about the VR headset. Finally, the presentation appears to be scheduled for January 2023. So, a few weeks before the important date, we learn new information about the famous glasses: the operating system.
It was our colleagues at Bloomberg who disclosed the incident based on the words of an inside source at Apple. According to the latter, Apple will unsurprisingly continue to build other operating systems, this time Apple Glass’s one… it will call xrOS. This name is not trivial, as it tells us more about the Cupertino company’s true ambitions with its helmet.
Apple Glass will offer augmented reality experience
Indeed, “xr” is a scaled-down version of “extended reality” or “extended reality”. In other words, Apple Glass won’t offer a full-blown virtual reality experience like the Oculus Quest, or even the augmented reality we can find on our smartphones. The augmented reality slider is more or less in-between, allowing both a virtual world to be explored while viewing multiple data above the real world.
What should inflate the anticipation around Apple Glass, which has once been relatively discreet about leaks on the manufacturer’s side? The presentation will be a great moment for all enthusiasts of the brand, as it will be the first new device of the latter since 2016. Moreover, the company is not mistaken and hopes to sell at least 1.5 million copies. his glasses.
