cNet is reporting that Apple is working on a project, codenamed T288, a powerful augmented reality, and virtual reality headset. Rumour is that the device will have dual 8k displays, and have a dedicated box using short range high-speed wireless technology to cut the cords found on current generation headsets. While still in its early stages, the article states that the headset is slated for release in 2020.
Sounds great, but a little too great in my opinion. Perhaps it will work fine for AR, but having a rig powerful enough to drive two 8k displays... wait is there even a video card that has the outputs for two 8k displays? Not to mention room scale with no sensors or cameras as the quote below indicates, seems a bit hard to believe. I suppose we will see in 2020.
And unlike with the HTC Vive, users wouldn't have to install special cameras in a room to detect their location. Everything would be built into Apple's headset and box, the person said.
