In many ways a lot of this has been attempted before, only to find niche use or seemingly get mocked as is the case with Facebook’s Metaverse efforts. Of course, you might be rolling your eyes at the idea of a metaverse or collaboration in virtual spaces or even using AR to deliver virtual displays. We could see everything from meetups to share photos snapped on the iPhone 15 and beyond, to international creative pitches being carried out in an Apple-flavoured virtual environment or hub. Leveling up Mac gamingĪs Apple does tout the content sharing and interactivity its products and services facilitate, I’d not be surprised if the company’s efforts in mixed reality saw it come up with its own take on the so-called metaverse. With the high-end display and tracking tech tipped for the headset, you could conduct things like conference or group calls in a virtual environment perhaps using AR to blend in real-world surroundings to alleviate the feeling of standing in a video game. I could also see the headset being used as a way to invigorate FaceTime calls. ![]() But, my hope is that Apple will evolve its headset beyond a developer unit into something that’s slicker, perhaps even a pair of AR glasses in the form of the rumored Apple Glasses. Naturally, the idea of putting on a big VR headset to do this might seem more of a hassle than using an external monitor or even the Sidecar functions with a compatible iPad. You could think of this as something like the holographic interface projections Tony Stark uses in the Iron Man movies, or the multiple holographic displays used in the excellent hard sci-fi series, The Expanse, only without the need for futuristic holograms. This is something VR headsets on Windows machines can do, letting you navigate a virtual house with different screens superimposed on the walls.īut by blending AR and VR, I can see Apple using the headset and its rumored 12 cameras to let you see your real Mac display or MacBook and also be surrounded by virtual displays. The leaks around the Apple VR/AR headset so far have discussed hardware, but not a lot on the software side, other than the idea that realityOS could be the name for the headset’s operating system.įirst off, by connecting to a Mac via a USB-C cable or wirelessly, I think the Apple VR/AR headset could be a slick way to get multiple virtual displays. ![]()
