\nNote<\/strong>: This list of the headset\u2019s prospective features and specs have been gathered from a few disparate reports. None of the below has been confirmed by Apple, so please take anything you read here with a large grain of salt: <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nReported Apple MR Specs<\/h3>\n\n- Resolution<\/strong>:\u00a0Dual Micro OLED displays at\u00a04K resolution (per eye)<\/em><\/li>\n
- FOV<\/strong>: 120-degrees, similar to Valve Index<\/em><\/li>\n
- Chipset<\/strong>: Two 5nm chips. Includes a main SoC (CPU, GPU, and memory) and a dedicated image signal processor (ISP). Chips communicate via a custom streaming codec to combat latency.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Battery<\/strong>: Waist-mounted battery, connected via MagSafe-like power cable to the headset\u2019s headband. Two-hour max battery life, although hotswappable for longer sessions.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Passthrough<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/em>ISP chip contains custom high-bandwidth memory made by SK Hynix, providing low latency color passthrough<\/em><\/li>\n
- Audio<\/strong>: H2 chip, providing ultra-low latency connection with the second-generation AirPods Pro and future AirPods models. No 3.5mm and possible no support for non-AirPod BT headphones.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Controller<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0Apple is said to favor hand-tracking and voice recognition to control the headset, but it has tested a \u201cwand\u201d and a \u201cfinger thimble\u201d as alternative control input methods.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Prescription Lenses<\/strong>: Magnetically attachable custom prescription lenses for glasses-wearers.<\/em><\/li>\n
- IPD Adjustment<\/strong>: Automatic, motorized adjustment to match the wearer\u2019s interpupillary distance.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Eye Tracking<\/strong>: At least one camera per-eye for things like avatar presence and foveated rendering<\/em><\/li>\n
- Face & Body Tracking<\/strong>: More than a dozen cameras and sensors capture both facial expressions and body movements, including the user\u2019s legs.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Room Tracking<\/em><\/strong>: \u00a0Both short- and long-range LiDAR scanners to map surfaces and distances in three dimensions.<\/em><\/li>\n
- App Compatibility<\/strong>:\u00a0Said to have the ability to run existing iOS apps in 2D.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Design Rumors<\/h3>\n\n- Outer Shell<\/strong>: Aluminum, glass, and carbon fiber to reduce its size and weight. Cameras are largely concealed for aesthetic reasons.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Presence Displays<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0Outward-facing display can show user\u2019s facial expressions and also presumably eye movements. Said to be an always-on display similar in latency and power draw of Apple Watch or iPhone 14 Pro.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Dedicated Passthrough\u00a0Switch<\/strong>: Digital Crown-like dial on its right side to switch between VR and passthrough.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Headstrap<\/strong>: Various available, including consumer-focused headstrap similar in material to Apple Watch sport bands with built-in speakers. Unspecified, but different headstrap targeted at developers.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
