Apple reportedly working on a $ 3,000 VR headset

While they have some interesting specs, Apple’s next virtual reality glasses will have two screens with 8K resolution. The helmet would cost $ 3,000, or more than 2,500 euros

The two LCD screens will provide one crisp image per eye, derived from documents with drawings of a “highly developed prototype” that the The Information website saw. The helmet is said to be fitted with various cameras to monitor hand and eye movements. The cameras on the outside of the helmet would also transmit images of the surroundings. This way the user knows where he is in a room. The glasses can then display virtual information on the camera’s images of the environment, similar to augmented reality.

Apple has communicated internally a price of $ 3,000, which is actually slightly cheaper than Microsoft’s HoloLens, which costs $ 3,500. Apple plans to ship 250,000 copies in the first year of release. Rumors about Apple VR glasses have been circulating for some time. Various media have previously reported that the introduction of the glasses is slated for 2022.
