US tech giant$Apple (AAPL.US)$is set to reveal its long-awaited mixed reality (MR) headset in the 'second half' of 2022. The new MR headset would cost roughly $2,000 and will not be a standalone device. It ill require tethering to an iPhone or MacBook with a Bluetooth connection. It will also include a camera and laser optical sensor, contain a "high-strength, lightweight magnesium alloy material" for top durability, and would weigh up to 110 grammes.
Apple wants to create an App Store for the headset, with a focus on gaming, streaming video content, and video conferencing. It has been described by Bloomberg as an "all-encompassing 3-D digital environment" designed for gaming, watching video, and communicating.
After$Meta Platforms (FB.US)$CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed his company's name from 'Facebook' to 'Meta', the company is planning to transition from a social media company to a metaverse company. In addition to its VR glasses, a haptic glove is created by Meta to bring the virtual world to our fingertips.
These gloves would allow the wearer to not only interact with and control the virtual world, but experience it in a way similar to how one experiences the physical world. The wearer would use the gloves in tandem with a headset for AR or VR. A video posted by Meta in a blog shows two users having a remote thumb-wrestling match. In their VR headsets, they see a pair of disembodied hands reflecting the motions that their own hands are making. In their gloves, they feel every squeeze and twitch of their partner's hand—at least that's the idea.
