Apple’s AR/VR Headset Set For 2023 Launch
Apple’s AR/VR headset is set to hit the markets in 2023. The company, which has been reluctant to get into the augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) space, is reportedly focusing on delivering a mixed-reality (AR and VR) headset before the end of the year. The headset is expected to look like ski googles and feature several cameras for real-time tracking.
There is no word on the potential apps and what experience to precisely expect. Bloomberg’s Mark Gruman (via TechCrunch) reports that, Apple’s AR/VR headset is expected to make an appearance at this year’s WWDC as the Reality Pro. There are also talks of the operating system being called xrOS (formerly known as RealityOS). We will stay tuned to see how this unfolds.

All are set to arrive in the second half of 2024 or the first half of 2025.
