Bloomberg News reportedApple has canceled a plan to connect its Mac models to the driveVirtual reality headset.
Apple originally planned to create a virtual vision headset driven by an iPhone, but because the iPhone's computing performance was not enough to drive the virtual vision presentation effect, and it also accelerated the consumption of iPhone power, it switched to a Mac model as a device to drive virtual vision, but ultimately the presentation effect was not as expected.
The canceled VR headset still runs on visionOS, but it is not aVisionProThe successor product not only looks like ordinary glasses, but also has a built-in display that can project information, images and other content into the wearer's field of view. It is much lighter than Vision Pro, and the lenses will change when the device is in use, allowing others to identify whether the device is in operation.
XREAL recently launchedOne series augmented reality glasses, and Meta also demonstrated last year that smart glasses can be connected to computing devices wirelesslyOrionApple also plans to launch smart glasses that can be used daily and have a battery life of up to several days, which is expected to drive the market to participate in the development of smart glasses competition.
Prior to this, Apple had already released the standalone Vision Pro, but most users who purchased this virtual reality headset did not use it as frequently as Apple had hoped. Some Apple employees even felt that the Vision Pro product design lacked focus and clear direction. However, Apple still plans to release a successor to the Vision Pro and even plans to create a new augmented reality headset.
