The headset will have two 8K displays, it will be able to track the eyes of users. The image will be displayed in full resolution only in the area where the user’s eyes are focused.

Several laser rangefinders will be used to create a 3D map of the room. It is reported that Apple is experimenting with several control systems: hand tracking (which uses more than a dozen cameras), eye tracking, a touch surface on the side of the device, and an accessory called a thimble.

Bloomberg said Apple will develop a dedicated single-chip system for the device, similar to the Apple M1, but with more processing power. Apple reportedly plans to use replaceable fabric straps to keep the headset lightweight.

This device will work primarily as a virtual reality headset with some augmented reality features. JP Morgan believes Apple’s VR headset will target the upper end of the consumer market at more than $ 500.
