VR headsets need to work with iOS (and Android) phones Wrong execution, but VR still needs to figure out a way to work with the phone (and apps) in your pocket. The old Google Daydream was a pair of goggles for your phone. Knowing Apple, it would seem that going for "the best display," or promising that, would be a big goal.
There's only one VR headset I've ever seen, by Varjo, that seemed "retina level" enough to be as good or better than a giant monitor. But they're still not better than the phone screens and monitors and TVs we use all the time. VR displays are getting progressively better and now are crisp enough to almost not see any pixels. The same will be the case with any VR headset. The AirPods Max, with their spatial audio and extremely high price, are going for design, immersion and fidelity. When will it do eyes?ĪirPods Max for your eyes: A fantastic head-worn displayĪpple's recent headphone moves paint a clear path already. Maybe that's exactly what Apple - and even Google - should enable next.Īpple does ears now. Headphones are plug-and-play and just work with whatever you need. VR's always felt like headphones for my eyes, a way to expand a view all around me and dive into something more fully.
But Google moved away from VR since then, focusing on AR.

Google, meanwhile, already made its own VR headset years ago and even acquired VR software companies behind apps like Tilt Brush and Job Simulator. Apple also bought VR company NextVR last May. That's exactly what Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports as Apple's next step: a pair of advanced VR goggles that could be, in some ways, like Facebook's popular Oculus Quest.Īpple's never had any VR headset (or eyewear) before, and looms large over the landscape with an already-growing interest in augmented reality. But in the short term, the road to magical Tony Stark glasses is more likely to be through VR. From Amazon's Echo Frames to Facebook's plans for augmented reality, to Microsoft's HoloLens and the ongoing reports of Apple's AR plans - there's a lot that seems to be cooking. Nearly every major player in tech has been dreaming of smartglasses over the past few years. But think more expensive, and hopefully more connected to your other (Apple) computers. Facebook's Oculus Quest 2 could show where Apple heads next.
