Read our privacy policy Apple is planning to launch an expensive, niche virtual reality headset ahead of its widely rumoured AR smart glasses, according to a major new report. Unlike those AR glasses, the virtual reality headset would include an “all-encompassing 3D digital environment for gaming, watching video and communicating”, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported, and it would only have “limited” options to use augmented reality features that put virtual objects on top of the real world. It would be the first entirely new type of hardware since the Apple Watch, and build on the company’s recent interest in both wearable technology and augmented reality. No other company has succeeded in bringing such glasses to the public in large numbers: Google’s Glass notably failed to catch on and was demoted to focus on specific working situations, a route which has been followed by Microsoft’s HoloLens augmented reality headsets.
