This past weekend, Apple debuted its Vision Pro mixed reality headset in the UnitedKingdom, marking the end of the firm’s international device rollout completion, which started at WWDC 2024 and includes regions such as mainland China, Japan, Singapore, Australia, Canada, France, and Germany.
Today, during Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2024 kick-off keynote, the company discussed various elements of its product portfolio. During this, Apple unveiled VisionOS 2, the latest version of its spatial computing operating system, and international availability for the Vision Pro.
This week, during its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2024, Apple revealed new enterprise-facing APIs to help business customers better leverage the device’s spatial computing offering. Apple is improving sensor access and visual capabilities as part of the Vision Pro enterprise API update.
Apple to Release Vision Pro in March According to Bloomberg’s senior tech analyst Mark Gurman , Apple plans to introduce its Vision Pro MR headset in March 2022, despite previous plans to launch the head-mounted display (HMD) in January. The impact of the Metaverse is real, and it’s happening today, right now. –
This week, Apple updated its Vision Pro spatial computing headset, upgrading the framework to visionOS 2. Apple delivered optimised MR features, including improved spatial capture, hand-tracking, key productivity enhancements, virtual environments, avatars, and more. The latest device update continues that trend across broader updates.
While MR headsets are generally more expensive, with the Apple Vision Pro raising the average selling price by over $1000, audiences are still interested enough to turn their gaze towards a product that can leverage VR and AR applications. There is still a lot to come this year: new announcements, events, and maybe products.
However, with 2024 shaping up to be a monumental year for XR, with Microsoft, NVIDIA, Amazon, and Apple all putting major stakes and investments into the space, what companies do today could greatly influence the future of work. The firm is rolling out the features starting in early December this year for free.
Now the Metaverse is gaining newfound traction from enterprise clients, companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Apple are reinforcing XR as a serious technology for various use cases. To power Athena AI, ENGAGE XR is leveraging OpenAI’s Chat GPT service – now partially operated by Microsoft – the firm is also leveraging Dall.e
The reserve pass-through cameras also enable Meta to take another direct shot at soon-to-be market competitor Apple; the firm is equally providing a reserve pass-through feature in its upcoming Vision Pro device. The service is now available for enterprise end-users in supported regions, including the United States and the UnitedKingdom.
This triggered massive layoffs and project closures across companies like Meta, Microsoft, Google, Snap, Salesforce, and many others. As before, Meta is playing the long game, and hopes to compete with major tech rivals like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Snap, and others entering the 3D advertising market.
Is Apple partnering with Valve on AR? A report by DigiTimes claims that Apple is partnering with Valve for the production of its AR glasses. The news would be incredible: Apple is a company that knows how to create something usable and cool to see, while Valve has a long expertise in experimenting with AR and VR.
Nreal, Microsoft Support Blind Children with AR XR is still very much emerging, and healthcare research is still immature. Using spatial audio, the HMD locates individuals in a space to create a mental map of a child’s surroundings, which Microsoft called a People Map. Microsoft gained positive outcomes based on the study.
Regulatory Concerns for Big Tech Additional concerns included a “volatile macro environment” in 2023 due to a “challenging regulatory environment,” Li said, citing lawmakers in the European Union and the UnitedKingdom.
Apple’s upcoming smart glasses (or MR headset) may be around the corner. Now, with CoPilot taking shape thanks to a partnership with Microsoft, OpenAI and other firms are helping to define the future of work with AI. Moreover, ChatGPT still sits at the top of technology headlines.
