News & Reviews:   mixed reality

In an era with brands that love copying others, when is something not worth copying? Obviously, the answer is likely "when it's not profitable". For Meta, it dropped a planned headset like a hot potato.

If Meta is to make its metaverse dreams a universe, its Meta Quest headsets need to improve more. That could be possible with new chipsets Qualcomm announced recently - the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 and Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1. Here's a quick summary of the two chipsets.

For years, the Apple AR/VR headset has been a subject of much speculation. Its launch date has been delayed multiple times, and a rumour in February suggested another delay. But now, a reliable source believes that we could see it by next month.

Apple is finally ready to unveil its mixed-reality headset later this year, and has promised all kinds of features to entice Apple fans. Details of the device have been scarce, but we do have some updates about the charging system.

As you know, Samsung introduced its latest Galaxy S23 series and Galaxy Book3 devices at the recent Unpacked event. But did you know they also teased a mixed-reality headset? Well, sources have found a certified component for the product. So, could it be launching soon than expected?

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.

After Facebook changed its name to Meta to tell us how much the company cares about Metaverse, Microsoft soon jumped on the bandwagon by announcing Mesh as its own take on the technology concept. For the latter, it focuses on building an interactive platform for virtual experiences inside Microsoft Teams.

Remember the mixed reality headset that Apple is allegedly working on? There hasn't been much news in recent months, but we're finally getting some new rumours about it. Sources claim that Apple's headset could require a secondary device.

It seems that Apple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently stated that Apple will be planning to release their mixed reality headset in the year 2022. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the local market.
