BUT Apple took another step towards launching his mixed reality headsetthe device, due to be launched next year, will combine augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies.
According to information from Mark GurmanYes bloomberg, Apple has changed the name of the operating system that will ship with the device. According to anonymous sources of the journalist, the company refused old name “realityOS” and has now adopted the nomenclature “chroOS”.
The new name appears precisely to emphasize that this is a “mixed reality” device, since the abbreviation XR is often used to refer to augmented reality (augmented reality), a concept that spans both AR and VR.
As Gurman noted, while augmented reality overlays virtual graphics and information on the real world, virtual reality is a comprehensive and immersive experience for activities such as playing games and watching videos.
“xrOS” should have exclusive versions of Apple apps such as Messages this is Cards – as well as with some App Storewhere other developers can host and distribute their proprietary software.
Apple expects the mixed reality device to be its latest “great product” that hasn’t been seen in Cupertino since the device’s launch. Apple Watch (in 2015) — today one of the largest sources of profit for the company.
