Apple could be just several months away from unveiling its first mixed reality headset. A new report claims the AR/VR headset has completed the production tests, hinting at the likelihood of a 2022 release window.
The report comes from DigiTimes (via MacRumors) with details from Apple suppliers, claiming that the AR/VR headset has gone through the second phase of engineering validation tests. This process makes sure the prototypes made through production tests are up to the standards and requirements set by the tech giant.
The full report is yet to be published, but this little information indicates that the Apple AR/VR headset is one step closer to launch. The device is widely expected to enter the market this year, although Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman previously said its development might force Apple to push the release window beyond 2022.
While the potential release date of the Apple AR/VR headset is still being contested, there have been several reports that give tech fans more idea on what features to expect. One of the important details the iPhone maker reportedly considered was to make the headset as light as possible.
Apple also reportedly designed its first AR/VR headset in a way that it can function independently from computers. The device is then expected to have its own processors. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported last November that the headset could be powered by two processors with one of them having the same computing power as the first M1 chipset. A “lower-end processor” is also rumored to be used on the headset, which would be mainly used to process data input from the sensors.
Kuo also reported last December that the Apple AR/VR headset could sport advanced 3D sensors that can detect hand movements. The analyst suggested it could function in the same way Apple has used structured light sensors with Face ID to track a user’s facial movements while making an Animoji.
Unsurprisingly, Apple has yet to say a word about the heavily rumored AR/VR headset. However, developers noticed earlier this month that the App Store upload logs made references to an unknown product named “realityOS.” It is now believed to be the new operating system for the AR/VR headset.
