Rumors of a new Apple VR headset have been around for some time, but earlier today a report from The information brought new details about this future device, including specifications, price and even a drawing based on an internal version. Now we want to know if you would pay $ 3000 for such a device.
Bloomberg revealed last year that Apple has two strategies for its augmented reality devices. The company is reportedly developing new glasses that focus on AR content and another device for VR interactions. Today’s leak is related to the VR device, which is actually defined by The information sources as a “mixed-reality headset.”
A mixed-reality headphone developed by Apple will be equipped with more than a dozen cameras to detect hand movements and show real-world videos to people wearing them, along with 8K screens with ultra-high resolution and advanced technology to track eye tracking technology, according to a person with direct knowledge of the device
Previous rumors have suggested that Apple’s new VR headset would not be cheap, as devices like these are more difficult to assemble, and they also require special and advanced components to deliver an immersive experience. With two 8K screens and advanced sensors to detect eye movements, it’s hard to expect something affordable.
Today’s report from The information claims that Apple internally considered pricing the product at $ 3000 – which is definitely higher than some of us thought. While all may change until Apple officially announces its new VR headset, competitors like Microsoft HoloLens cost as much as $ 3,500.
It’s noteworthy that Microsoft has targeted Hololens at professionals such as doctors and engineers rather than regular users, so perhaps we can expect a similar approach from Apple with its new VR device.
Would you buy an advanced mixed reality headset for $ 3000 based on leaked specifications and rumors about what this product might do? If not, what would be the ideal price for this device?
