Kuo: Apple plans to release a mixed reality headset in mid-2022 for around $1K, followed by AR glasses by 2025 and “contact lens type” devices by 2030-2040
Mark Zuckerberg on the Future of AR and VR Oliver Haslam / Redmond Pie : Kuo: Apple's Mixed Reality Headset Will Have No Fewer Than 15 Cameras Tom Pritchard / Tom's Guide : Apple mixed reality headset reportedly packs 15 cameras — here's what they'll do bit-tech.net : Apple touted to deliver “significantly better” VR experience in 2022 Conor Allison / Pocket-lint : Apple is planning to bring unibody and periscope camera lenses to 2022 and 2023 iPhone models Chris Smith / BGR : Apple's mixed-reality glasses to feature 15 cameras and ‘innovative biometrics’ Steve Vegvari / iPhone in Canada Blog : Apple's Rumoured Mixed Reality Headset to Feature 15 Camera Modules: Kuo Stephen Warwick / iMore : iPhone 13 could get plastic Face ID lens instead of glass, says Kuo Christian Zibreg / MUO : iPhone 13 Predicted to Switch to Plastic Lenses for Face ID João Carrasqueira / Neowin : The iPhone may get a periscope camera in 2023 instead of next year Stan Schroeder / Mashable : Apple's iPhone might get a periscope camera, but don't expect it very soon Christian Zibreg / iDownloadBlog.com : Apple's mixed reality headset could use 15 onboard cameras for pass-through AR and VR Satsuki Then / SlashGear : Noted Apple analyst makes predictions about Apple AR headset Prakhar Khanna / Pocketnow : Apple's mixed reality headset: 15 camera modules, micro-LED display, and “significantly lighter” Alan Friedman / phonearena.com : Kuo: Apple's mixed reality device to include “innovative biometrics” Rajesh Pandey / iPhone Hacks : Kuo: Apple's Mixed Reality Headset to Feature 15 Cameras for ‘Innovative Biometrics’ Yash / Apple Terminal : Kuo: Largan still has long term investment in Apple with a focus on MR/VR headsets and iPhone Cameras Hassaan Tariq / Appleosophy : The Curious Case of Apple Augmented Reality Contact Lens Kyle Melnick / VRScout : Report: Apple Mixed Reality Headset Coming In 2022, Apple Glass In 2025, AR Contacts in 2030 Ian Hamilton / UploadVR : Mark Zuckerberg Explains Facebook's Low Cost Hardware Strategy Scott Stein / CNET : Apple's VR, AR headset plans: The latest rumors and reports Jonny Evans / Computerworld : Apple's AR glasses and a future for ‘AppleCare’ Aaron Pressman / Fortune : The latest charges against John McAfee show exactly how not to tout and trade cryptocurrencies Shawn Knight / TechSpot : Apple's AR/MR roadmap reportedly consists of three phases including a visor, glasses and contact lenses Liam Tung / ZDNet : Apple's first augmented reality headset is coming next year, says analyst Darragh Murphy / Laptop Mag : Apple AR/VR headset to arrive in 2022 followed by futuristic smart contact lenses (report) MacDailyNews : Ming-Chi Kuo: Apple to launch mixed reality headset in mid-2022 and AR glasses by 2025 Matthew Bolton / t3.com : Apple's awesome 8K VR headset set to launch next year, AR glasses follow in 2025 Ali Salman / Wccftech : Apple's AR Contact Lenses Expected in 2030s, Will Bring Electronics Era to “Invisible Computing” Tweets: Jae / @jkap : oh yeah, just what everyone wants, the ability to look like a normal person in vr and not an anime girl and/or furry. dumbass https://twitter.com/... @karlotakki : VS > VR. Give me virtual surreality. Reality sucks: it's dirty and smelly and there are viruses and stuff. I don't want a realistic avatar, I want 6 arms and two dicks and a ten foot tongue. And I want to be a sort of iridescent blue but not a fucking smurf. https://twitter.com/... @avibarzeev : @thedextriarchy AR can deal well with small, crowded spaces mainly because you'll see what's real. Matching up your table and chairs to your friend's so it all makes sense is harder. Eye-tracking and neural interfaces are much scarier to me, esp. given the ad biz. I hear no caution from FB. @kaanaksit : Not a fan boy of any organization or any entity, will never be, may be in the next life... However, I have to say Mark's interview for future of VR and AR is spot on. Listen to it carefully: https://anchor.fm/... Kent Bye VoicesOfVR / @kentbye : I just listened to @theinformation's interview with Mark Zuckerberg on the Future of AR & VR, which focuses on the technical & business aspects (no ethics or privacy questions from @alexeheath or @mathewolson). Here's my notes & timecodes from the chat: https://anchor.fm/... https://twitter.com/... Kent Bye VoicesOfVR / @kentbye : Another interesting bit from Zuckerberg is Facebook Reality Lab is working on hardware that 2-3 generations out that has eye tracking & facial/emotional tracking built in. Lots of HUGE privacy & ethical implications of what happens with this biometric data https://anchor.fm/... https://twitter.com/... Mike Schroepfer / @schrep : Lots of good stuff in here: focusing on getting products to as many as possible, disconnecting geography from opportunity via next-gen remote work in VR, and more! https://twitter.com/... Jessica Lessin / @jessicalessin : “We don't think that people are going to want to get their head drilled open in order to use virtual or augmented reality.” Zuckerberg on AR/VR to @alexeheath @mathewolson https://www.theinformation.com/ ... Jessica Lessin / @jessicalessin : While we digest last night's big interview, check out this one. @alexeheath and @mathewolson launch our new AR/VR newsletter with a 45-minute interview with Zuckerberg. You can get the highlights via the newsletter or listen to the full pod. https://www.theinformation.com/ ... Scoble / @scobleizer : @hrafntho @DennyCloudhead @NimaZeighami @Azadux @realovirtualcom @AGraylin I do not agree. You do realize that Facebook is basically putting $1,000 into every Quest box, right? No investor I know is stupid enough to compete with that. Paul Hudson / @twostraws : @stroughtonsmith Would you trust another DTK program? Steve Troughton-Smith / @stroughtonsmith : @twostraws I wouldn't. I would take an early-purchase program, with devices to keep, but I have zero confidence Apple can carry out a DTK-style rental program Scoble / @scobleizer : @rabovitz @gemisisDev @hrafntho @DennyCloudhead @NimaZeighami @Azadux @realovirtualcom @AGraylin Yes. As you well know. I told one of your competitors he wouldn't last. He didn't. This game is $10 billion to play. Probably more. I hear Apple is spending $40 billion. Rony Abovitz / @rabovitz : @Scobleizer @gemisisDev @hrafntho @DennyCloudhead @NimaZeighami @Azadux @realovirtualcom @AGraylin The market will have segments and opportunities for smaller players within them - but smaller here is a relative term compated to companies with valuations over one trillion. Rony Abovitz / @rabovitz : @Scobleizer @gemisisDev @hrafntho @DennyCloudhead @NimaZeighami @Azadux @realovirtualcom @AGraylin Reality check: the XR platform game is billions per year per company - and there is also a vast IP minefield. At least 10x harder than trying to be a mobile phone player. Scoble / @scobleizer : @rabovitz @gemisisDev @hrafntho @DennyCloudhead @NimaZeighami @Azadux @realovirtualcom @AGraylin With Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Snap, Magic Leap, all reading new products in this space I just don't see much room for others. But we will see. Scoble / @scobleizer : @J_Shepz The first Apple product is going after your living room. Kuo's sources aren't correct. There are dozens of glasses prototypes. Scoble / @scobleizer : @previ Not saying that either. Bloomberg's report of glasses coming in 2023 are more accurate. Scoble / @scobleizer : @raywongy There is a company two miles from here that already has AR contacts. @MojoVisionInc . I am not bullish. I hate contacts. Alex Heath / @alexeheath : @Marketstuff99 @9to5mac @ChanceHMiller “In terms of price, Kuo says this headset is likely to be ‘similar to that of a high-end iPhone,’ potentially somewhere around $1,000” we stand by our reporting that Apple has recently discussed pricing it at 3K Steve H.McFly / @onleaks : I have much respect for Kuo but please... I also heard Apple may release a spaceship in 2100s...🙄 https://twitter.com/... Raymond Wong / @raywongy : Lol Apple AR contact lenses in 2030-40 Sometimes I really wonder if Kuo is a genius publicity generator actually run by Apple. His leaks are accurate to taper expectations and drive Apple buzz all year round and predictions to create waves of frenzy https://twitter.com/...
