Apple’s Top Secret AR/VR Headset
Scheduled for 2020
CNET, claims Apple is working on a combo AR/VR headset that could launch as soon as 2020. Apple's long-rumoured augmented reality headset now will have virtual reality capabilities built in, too. It's codenamed T288.
Apple could out-muscle current VR leaders such as Oculus and HTC. Apple's T288 headset is said to support both AR and VR apps. Most impressive is the resolution it reportedly packs: an 8K display per eye, for a total resolution of 16K.
Since AR and VR have substantial technical overlap, combining them might add up to a more appealing product with little extra overhead.
