Apple AR/VR Headset
Kuo also mentions that Apple’s AR/VR headset will include Sonymicro-LED display panelsand will be an independent device. That means it will come with“independent computing power and storage,”which will allow users to power it without a gaming machine.
Coming to the price, Kuo reports that the AR/VR headset will likely come with a price tag that is“similar to that of a high-end iPhone”. He says that it will be somewhere around $1,000. This is way lower in comparison to thepreviously rumored $3000 price tag.
As per the analyst, one of the key features of the AR Glass will be its custom“optical see-through AR experience”. This will overlay the AR elements onto the real world for users to get an immersive AR experience.
Apart from these, other details about the Apple AR Glass are pretty hazy. Kuo reports that the AR Glass“may have”independent computing power and storage like the AR/VR headset. So, there is a high chance of it being positioned as an independent mobile product in the market.
