Apple could be working on an augmented reality headset, though we shouldn’t expect to see it until 2019.
The news comes from “people familiar with the situation,” cited in a Bloomberg report published Wednesday.
If true, it’s not surprising: Every major company is betting on “reality” headsets — AR, VR or mixed — of some form as the future of human-computer interaction. Facebook and HTC have their standalone virtual-reality systems, Oculus and Vive. There’s Samsung Gear VR and Google Daydream systems which use the phone drop-in system for their headsets. And of course, there are the new Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) headsets.
