A new report gives us a tease on how Apple’s AR/VR headset could work — but one detail sounds like complete magic. How could Apple render your actual face and body movement in VR while wearing a headset? CNET’s Bridget Carey breaks down the possibilities with our VR expert Scott Stein.

Just make VR sunglasses. Why no one done it?!?]
Knowing Apple, they will be very mediocre “unique” features but at a “ultra premium” price.
Apple is not at camera company The majority of the cameras and lenses in the devices are from Sony and other manufacturers. 🙄
Shouldn’t be too hard to create a 3d face of yours, Apple has your Face ID already.
From there it’s just a matter of trying to line up somewhat generic muscle movements to convey your expressions using even just a little camera sensing.
irritating lady
It was the same problem with 3DTV: It still has good possibilities–and went through a lot of mistakes from an overeager industry that wanted to use it for everything it wasn’t suited for–but G@mer-b0iz immediately took over the discussion, thought any new tech was made Just For Them, said “Eww, there aren’t enough games, laaaaame!”, and rushed to YouTube to pronounce it “dead” overnight.
I’m not giving up my PSVR, but if an Apple VR can double as a 3D Personal Cinema headset compatible with Blu/4K players, I’m in.
Honestly, I can’t wait for the Apple VR/AR Headset to launch…I bet the headset and the new refined OS will be super amazing! VR/AR is the real future tech ❤️
Mmh, really good Animation/Motion Capture of 3D characters would interest me personally the most.
Getting creative by bringing avatars to life and record it and export it into 3D programs and get results, that are better then most expensive mocap solution would be a reason to buy it
🤣 bro she sounds like a hater. She one of those people with an iPhone and hate the company at the same time
I highly doubt that the rumored $3K price tag is real for the base configuration
I’m more interested in Apple’s spin on foldable phones than VR.
Yes, people definitely want to look exactly like their physical selves in VR…
Basically the movie LX2048. Lol…
LEAKED: iPhone is used to take a 3d map of your entire face using True depth camera. The Apple Reality Pro uses this 3d map built by the iPhone, and along with the signals from its built-in cameras to capture the dynamic positions and expressions of your face, it can recreate your real looking face in FaceTime.
Probably pre-make your realistic character mesh for first step then It will auto rig it and the headset will just track your movements to move the character. It’s not processing meshes every second I don’t think.
What if the Apple VR fixed the vision problem of people with glasses when folks put on the headset..I’d be game for that! A set that adjusts to an individuals vision. 20/20+ for everyone when the headset is put on
Virtual reality cycling simulator. ♥
APPLE CATFISH AR VR ❤
MTG takes on Apple. Riffing and owning the libs.
CNET reporting on leaks seems to somehow lessen my opinion of them. I can get rumors from anyone. I guess I expect more from CNET.
The most memorable of my Oculus VR apps other than games was the Wander app that just uses simple Google street view images to plop you down right in the center of the street of any address you type in. You are there again, right in the center of the street with a 360 degree view. ! It’s very emotional to go back to look at your old neighborhoods and locations that mean something to you and to feel you are actually there again. You can click through the years (from 2008) and see the changes that have taken place, since Google has images from every year since then.
At $3000 I don’t want to be using AR when I’m at a physical iMac already in my office. I want it to have a VR Mac Studio that works the same as a physical model would. The headset, or battery pack, has a USB‑C input for data input and output. Having a VR pro-level computer + games and I think you could justify the price tag.
Lawnmower man!!
Still not convinced on the use case for ‘average’ Apple users. A lot seems to be doing the same things as you do in reality but in virtual environment- do not really see the point of using for a FT call, although can see the point of not needing multiple monitors and having virtual ones but only really if its multiple monitors you need. Keen to see what the everyday use cases are…but $3000…..!
Hope they place a warning label “WEAR PANTS 👖!” No more half dressed pandemic videos 😂.
Sounds like we’re closer to a Holographic communications.
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
well apple already have our “face” data from face-id with its trueDepth camera, they can just combine/map it with the camera on the goggle
BTW, I could really see the appeal to active military personnel. Almost like being home for the wife and kids. Make them feel a little closer to home.
