A new lengthy report has dived into the ongoing development behindApple’s rumouredAR//VR headset, something that the tech giant has been working on for quite some time.
T3 has reached out to Apple for comment.
“In early 2018, for example, one of Rockwell’s team members asked Apple’s camera hardware engineering group to add a firmware feature that would improve the speed with which the headset’s cameras could capture images and reproject them in a display,” reads the report.
“Rockwell’s group wanted to include the feature in a prototype headset ahead of an important demo for Apple’s top 100 employees, known as the T100. The member of Rockwell’s group was told the headset wasn’t a priority and his group would have to wait until after theiPhoneXS shipped later that year.”
Thefull reportis worth a read for anyone interested in the technology while also peeling back the curtain on the development process at Apple. The long-rumoured Apple AR / VR headset is expected to be announced sometime in late 2023, however, nothing official has come from Apple as of yet.

In fact, earlier reports suggested that the devicewould launch in 2022before its own AR glasses would follow sometime in 2025. Clearly, the former looks to not be true with the timeline potentially much further down the line than many anticipated.
