An Apple VR headset could be a lot like Facebook’s Oculus Quest… but higher end
There’s already one well-polished success story in VR, and the Quest 2 looks to be as good a model as any for where future headsets could aim. Gurman’s report makes a potential Apple VR headset sound a lot like Facebook’s standalone device, with controller-free hand tracking and spatial room awareness that could be achieved with Apple’s lidar sensor technology, introduced on last year’s iPad Pro and iPhone 12 Pro.
Apple’s headset could end up serving a more limited pro or creator crowd, or go for a mainstream focus on gaming… or fitness. My recent experiences with the Oculus Quest’s fitness tools feel like a natural direction for Apple to head in, now that the Apple Watch is extending to subscription fitness training, pairing with TVs and other devices.
