Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com news on January 21, there are two rumors about Apple's AR / VR products recently: 1. Apple is trying to cut costs and plans to launch a consumer-oriented AR / VR headset that costs about $1500. two。 Apple has faced "major technical challenges" and has shelved its development project for the AR glasses Apple Glass.

Foreign science and technology media 9to5Mac agrees with the first rumor in its latest article, but thinks that the second rumor is completely wrong. CTOnews.com learned that the media believed that Apple AR glasses knew clearly at the beginning of the project that it needed a long development cycle and that there was no shelving.

The media put forward two reasons:

1. The development cycle of Apple Glass is already very long.

The goal set by Apple Glass is to look similar to prescription glasses at a price acceptable to consumers and provide an excellent ecological experience. There are many challenges in itself, and it takes years of technological accumulation and ecological development to achieve. It will not be updated as frequently as AR / VR headers.

2. Apple Glass is different from AR / VR header display.

Although there is some functional overlap between the Apple Glass project and the AR / VR header, they are promoted by different development teams. They are different products, and Apple has set different schedules for them.

The two projects do not have much in common except to reduce the manufacturing cost of the planned product and find a more reasonable matching of components.

Apple will not shelve the development of the Apple Glass project, but it will still be a long wait for consumers.
