Next year could be a very special one in the Apple cosmos, as the company could introduce the first AR/VR headset. But what will the product look like? New concept images based on a prototype are intended to visualize the whole thing.
The images, created by talented concept designer Ian Zelbo, are based on details from a report by The Information about what Apple's AR/VR headset will look like. The report cites several internal images of a "late-stage prototype" of Apple's headset. According to this information, the headset will have a headband reminiscent of an Apple Watch strap, with a soft inner mesh that hugs the wearer's face.
Apple AR/VR headset: 4K micro-LED displays, eye tracking and more
Since not all heads are the same size, the headband will probably be adjustable. The front of the headset will be completely black, offering a sleek and elegant look. As you can see in the pictures, the product has side buttons on the left and top.
What function they have is not known, however. It is expected that Apple's first headset, which Zelbo calls "Apple View" although no official name has been leaked yet, will only serve as Apple's entry into the AR and VR world.
The product is said to feature a lightweight design, two 4K micro-LED displays, 15 optical modules, two main processors, WiFi 6E connectivity, eye tracking, a transparent AR mode, object tracking and hand gesture control. If you want to see all the pictures, you can find them on Zelbos website in 8K resolution. (Image: Rendersbyan)
