The Apple headset is created to offer an immersive experience while also keeping you connected to reality. The technology will be controller-free and allow you to choose the necessary apps and manage everything on the holographic display by simply looking at the necessary items. This will work thanks to an eye-tracking system that projects invisible light patterns onto each eye and provides ultraprecise input without a need for any controllers. Additionally, the AR/VR headset can be controlled with the movements of your hands and voice commands.
The development is going to support Bluetooth accessories as well as provide the ability to connect to other Apple devices. For instance, when talking to people through FaceTime, you’ll be able to use spatial audio and arrange participants around the room. What’s more, Apple states that users will be able to watch TV or play video games with the headset.
Speaking about ARKit, the company will allow users to attach AR objects to real locations thanks to map data or real-time capturing. Technologies provide opportunities for face and hand tracking. Even more, developers have implemented downward-facing cameras to Apple's AR headset to allow capturing hands almost in any position. It enables real-time translation of sign language or connecting augmented reality items to a person, such as in a laser tag-like game.
What’s more, the Apple VR/AR headset will be able to create a hyperrealistic avatar after your face scanning. The HUD will display your eyes if you use the device for real-world interactions and hide them once you’re in full VR, showing that you’re not available. However, if someone approaches, the technology will let you see the person immediately.
