Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is currently developing the next revolutionary product with which it is trying to conquer the whole world, it could have a very big impact thanks to the last generation technologies that those from Cupertino want to implement in it. According to some sources inside the Apple company, we are talking about a headset for virtual reality and augmented reality, those from Cupertino wanting to implement support for both technologies.
Apple has this new helmet for AR and VR developed with the code name T288, it premieres an 8K resolution screen for each eye, something that no other company has thought of for a similar product dedicated to global markets. Apple also wants to eliminate smartphone dependency, using instead a dedicated device to which the headset connects via high-speed Wi-Fi called 60 Hz WiGig, another first for such a product.
Apple: This is the REVOLUTIONARY New Product
Apple will also use in this device a new special processor produced with a 5nm manufacturing process, which is more powerful than any other in its category, and although the device has the dimensions of a computer case, it will not be a dedicated Mac. The headset would work immediately after opening, without the need for special cameras for configuration, and since there is a dedicated device instead of a smartphone, all the processing is done directly from there.
"The future of VR is expected to be cordless devices — and Apple wants to bring its trademark simplicity to the setup. The box would use a wireless technology called 60GHz WiGig, the person familiar with Apple's plans said. A second-generation version, called 802.11ay, would boost speeds and range and make the technology more attractive for high-end VR headsets that aren't tethered to computers."
Apple wants to develop this helmet so that users can use it freely, without cables and phones inserted into it, which is exactly what such a product should offer for customers willing to experience virtual and augmented reality. Considering the complexity behind the development of such a product, Apple intends to launch it on the market in 2020, and the development process will be completed by then.
