When it comes to AR/VR headsets, most people won't get one because of the lack of content. It's why many companies are shifting to developing these headsets to offer utility in our daily lives. For the Apple headset, this could include payment authentication.

According to Engadget, the Apple AR/VR headset will come with iris scanning for signing in and paying for stuff. This suggests that the headset will have some optical scanner to serve as another form of biometric authentication. The feature is expected to help with buying apps and multi-user support.

Besides that, the source also claimed that Apple's headset will have a few advantages over the Meta Quest Pro. For one, the former will have 14 cameras over the latter's 10-camera setup. Also, the Apple headset will have two cameras that will track your legs, which makes full-body tracking possible. Lastly, it's expected to be lighter and supports higher resolutions.

Considering how long Apple is taking to develop the headset, it makes sense for them to fill it with features. But whether it will live up to any hype remains to be seen. Let us know what you think in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news about this.
