US-based technology giant Apple has been on the agenda for a while with mixed reality glasses. Although the company has not made an official statement so far, it is known that it has been working on equipment to be used for virtual and mixed reality for a long time. The latest news suggests that we may be close to the big announcement now.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman explained the latest situation that Apple has come with this equipment. According to the statement, Apple has determined the name of the operating system that will run the glasses as “xrOS”. According to Gurman, Apple made such a change to hide the project. However, it seems to have failed.
‘xr’ stands for ‘extended reality’
The new product Apple is working on will be used for both virtual and augmented reality-oriented applications. We used to describe this situation as “mixed reality” until now. However, Apple seems to have found a new response to this term. Because, according to Mark Gurman, Apple makes a new definition of “extended reality” in the xr expression in xrOS.
The operating system was previously called “realityOS”
Apple’s augmented reality glasses were mentioned with a different operating system in the past. Allegedly, this operating system would be called “realityOS”. We do not know if there will be a different surprise in this regard, but let’s say that the glasses are on the horizon. The general opinion in the industry is that Apple’s brand new product will be introduced in the early part of 2023. Is it the price? According to rumors, these glasses will be among the most expensive products of Apple.
