See Apple's VR headset on your desk using augmented reality
AppleInsider has developed an exclusive 3D model of Apple's rumored VR headset, and you can use your iPad or iPhone to see it on your desk.
View the rumored Apple VR headset using augmented reality
The Apple VR headset is rumored to release sometime in 2023 for developers. Early leaks showed a VR goggle-like design and little details have been shed on the headset's potential design since.
Using the details provided by various leaks, we've generated a 3D model of the rumored headset to give readers an idea of what to expect.
Overall, the design resembles the Oculus Rift headset. Like phones, there are only a handful of designs that persist on the market, but Apple will have its own design twist.
Given the rumors, we expect the headset to borrow from a few Apple products. The bands may be interchangeable and made of fluoroelastomer like on Apple Watch, the eye coverings could be a similar padded cloth material to the AirPods Max earpads, and main body could be similar to the curved glass and metal used on iPhone.
Check out the full 3D model by clicking on the image above. On iPhone or iPad, use the "AR" mode to place the headset on a flat surface in the real world using augmented reality. On a Mac, clicking the image will download a USDZ file which can be viewed in Preview.
To learn more, check out what to expect from Apple's VR headset. It is expected to be announced at an Apple Event in 2023.

Sony”s cooler design .
:P
If they come out with something like a pair of glasses that does both AR and VR (somehow), then thee see t would be something.
there are daily use cases for everything apple makes from work to entertainment to getting and/or staying healthy.
and if Apple can make VR work, perhaps with a lens cover or lens darkening tech that darkens the opposite side of the screen in order to provide greater contrast and immersion for scenarios like medical procedures and training, and yes, even gaming, then that would be a game changer.
If the predictions were true, then we'd have died out after books were introduced. Yet, here we are. There's no reason to assume that this technology, is, finally, the one that gets us.
The predictions are spearheaded by the pearl-clutchers, every time.
Limited use case VR devices absolutely will not be changing human nature in the way you've described.
Oh, you say you're a boomer. Got it.
These tether to a smartphone where the processing is done.
Apple could either do a fast wireless transmission from a device or have an M3 chip on the glasses. The Macbook Air uses 10-15W of power. They can restrict the glasses to 5W or less and would still need a 5-15Wh battery somewhere for reasonable usage time.
They allow for VR mode by covering up the outside of the glasses. These use a physical cover but Apple can do this switching electronically.
Apple can source better quality displays for projection or use a different projection method like lasers.
They will have a much better UI for navigating with and will likely have a LIDAR sensor on the front, which can be used for hand tracking, depth detection and more accurate environment tracking.
This reviewer was able to watch Youtube, Netflix and streaming games for hours with these.
The glasses provide a virtual screen over 100" in size so would be a good way for people in cramped apartments to get a good cinema experience that is also fully 3D capable. Having a movie with some 3D elements plus spatial audio on a big virtual screen should offer a nice viewing experience and the same experience can be had anywhere.
Games like Pokemon Go will be much better with glasses, same with virtual pet games. People can have virtual cats/dogs that jump on the sofa next to them.
Lots of people online say they can't think of a use case for glasses but while typing their message online, they are hunched over a computer screen where they are having to physically conform to the device they are using. Glasses let them do this from anywhere. No more squinting at a tiny phone screen or going to the computer at the office desk. Wherever you are, pop on the glasses and you can do whatever you do on a computer anywhere and with a 100"+ virtual display - write software, edit movies, use social media, watch a movie, play a game.
Tim Cook said that when people get their hands on this, they'll wonder how they lived without it like with the iPhone. The iPhone put the computer and the full internet in people's pockets but the compromise it comes with is the display size is limited by the form factor. AR Glasses fix that limitation and give a 3D display.
