A mixed reality headset that Apple is developing will be equipped with more than a dozen cameras to track hand movements and show real-world video to the people who use it, along with ultra-high resolution 8K screens and advanced technology for eye tracking, according to a person with direct knowledge of the device.
These are some of the features that Apple is planning for the headset, a device that could represent one of the company’s most ambitious efforts to build a new technology platform. Information saw Apple’s internal images of a prototype in an advanced stage last year, which shows a curved and elegant visor attached to the face by mesh material and exchangeable headbands. An artist’s rendering based on the headset images and created by The Information appears below.
