Apple's mixed reality headset is finally set to launch this year, and if speculation from reliable sources is to be believed, Apple has set the bar very high in its capabilities. Now, according to a new leak from The Information, Apple will let anyone create an augmented reality (AR) app for their headgear using only Siri, the company's virtual assistant. Such applications for realityOS or xrOS, which are said to power Apple's headsets, require no programming knowledge from developers or the average user. On paper, this seems like his one of those generative AI models that can create research papers and digital art with just one text-based stimulus.
Sources say Apple hopes that with a software tool, even non-programmers can tell the headset to use Siri to create an AR app for him. Specifically, applications developed with Siri are now available on the App Store, opening up a whole new range of potential revenue streams. An example of a virtual animal displayed as an overlay on the real environment is provided in the report. Siri does this for consumers with a single voice command, saving consumers from worrying about coding aspects or wasting mental energy managing complex 3D motion functions. increase.
From now on in the safe zone
Thanks to technology developed by Fabric Software, which Apple acquired in 2017, you can create augmented reality apps with just Siri. Sources said Apple is focusing specifically on "health and wellness, including suggestions for AR apps that support meditation and exercise."Apple already has fitness-focused products and lucrative subscriptions. With a robust ecosystem of application services, Apple sticks to a proven approach in its much-anticipated headset. Allowing headset users to create their own virtual fitness experiences with an easy-to-use app certainly seems like a successful concept.
However, there are pitfalls. This information reveals that the source is several years old, so it's possible that some of these app building skills have since been improved or even removed. Told. Apple's Headgear UI is rumored to have a familiar iOS-inspired design, along with cutting-edge sensor hardware and a pixel-dense screen with wide viewing angles. Additional speculation suggests that inside the device will include an M-series desktop processor and some innovative features such as: B. Speaker assembly built into the headband. Sales of the mixed reality headgear are set to begin in the second half of this year, and will reportedly be announced ahead of his WWDC exhibit in June.
It's important to remember that this is all rumor and speculation, so all should be taken with a grain of salt (or a heap).
