Video conferencing with a AR/VR-headset on? Wow, that will be interesting for other participants. Or, they want everyone to have a headset on and meet in a Virtual environment?
Well, solution looking for a problem.
Yep. Looks like a flop.
Got a tip for us?

Apple's 'realityOS' for Rumored AR/VR Headset Referenced in Source Code

Yep. Looks like a flop.
The thing that worries me about this is apple restricting content with their family friendly ******** and locked down system
I can’t wait to watch YouTube videos about it since it will likely be too expensive for me to afford.
Curious that it is referred to as a feature instead of an OS. Maybe realityOS will run stand-alone or part of another OS. Kind of like the Oculus Link on macOS or Google Daydream / AR glasses that lack their own operating system with iOS. Maybe even third-party headsets on Mac. The old iOS 13 leaks suggest the APIs are general enough to support multiple headsets. I could see Apple leaving the low-end market that uses host side rendering to third parties like HTC, Valve, or Logitech. Low end VR probably isn’t up to Apple standards, but may be fine with many consumers that would have otherwise bought a Quest 2.

A lot of replies here seem to think that Apple is in the VR world, where they've always really demonstrated pushed AR. There have been plenty of demos where Apple enhances the reality you see (well, what the camera sees) and not creating whole new worlds.
Looking forward to the demo on stage with the poor sod that has to wear it
Agreed but AR is still less real than reality. Not that it really matters, I suppose. One thing I’m pretty sure of is that it will get more and more buggy with each and every software update ?
With all the high pricing rumors, it makes me think that this will be like the original iPad and it will be priced under $1,000 to compete directly with Meta.
That's nothing!

I know it’s a running joke that the gif version of this gets posted, but seriously… TAKE MY MONEY
Walk down a city street and see everyone buried in their phone, we’re already there mate.
I can't wait... as long as it can connect to a keyboard. My dream setup will ditch my Mac Mini and use augmented reality in my work as a professional writer. Imagine being able to grab documents from a pile on the desk, stick notes on the wall, and keep everything totally private since no one else will be able to see what I am working on.
? You won't believe it but I was thinking the same that Apple should rebrand it to matrixOS
Take the red one don't fool yourself like Cypher did

I don't think I could stomach eating protein slop for the rest of my life.
I'm on Cypher's side and taking the blue pill
If there's anything to be excited about this product, it's that its from Apple. I love VR (even in its obvious infant state) and there's great room to grow, but a company like Apple can really bring this type of stuff to the masses.
My niece doesn't want AirPods to get wireless headphones and have them seamlessly sync with her devices, she wants them because they're "trendy". It was the first thing she said when she got them: "Now I'm trendy".
Publicity from Apple products is second to none. I really hope this doesn't flop so the platform, as a whole, can take itself to the next level. The untapped potential is enormous, but until its mainstream, that potential will lock away lots of really cool uses for VR/Mixed Reality.

With those “use cases” - this will not go mainstream…
Gaming - sure, makes sense but you got to beat oculus
Streaming video - aka porn, sure
Video conferencing - not gonna fly
Apple got to come up with some much more useful use cases… remote troubleshooting, on the job training come to my mind.

OMG this is horrible. How come people would prefer this to actually see each other faces? Like human features interactions. How could anyone have a proper dialogue if I can't see someone reacting to what I have said?
