It has been roomered for years that apple would create a mixed reality headset. Roomers thaught we would see it last year, but that didn't happen.
A lot of the leaks and roomers say that it is comming out this year, as well as apple giving there own hints, shuch as there blog post saying "code new worlds", and apple saying that "a new erra begins".
All the evidance shows that this thing is getting releaced.
At a roomered caust of $3000 USD, this headset is gonna be premium, and from some sources, the best of the best.
For compairison, the Meta Quest pro causts at around $1500 USD. This makese me think that by apple creating a M R Headset with around 14 cameras for video pass through, it will be the best of the best.
That's greate, all and all, but what does this mean for blind people?
Apple has always made accessability a part of there software. It just makes me wonder what apple could do with this technology.
Let's do some speculation and some wishing for a moment..
I would love to see something like Seeing AI's World chanel, where it uses 3d audio to tell you what's around you. What if you could do this with the 14 cameras that are expected to be on this thing?
For example, you could walk into a room, and maby the cameras could do face recognition, and the headset would say "person, 3 feet to the left, or other stuff.
It would be quite enteresting.
The headset is roomered to have 2 M2 chips, which are desktop class chips that are used in apple computers, such as the macbook pro, the macbook air, and the mac mini.
With twice the power of the base line computers with m2 in them, the processing power of the headset will be greate!
If I had sight, I would be enterested into this thing, but since I don't, I will just let time play out and see what happens.
So, what are your thaughts?
If apple does releace this mixed reality headset on moday, would you buy it? if so why? and if you don't want to buy it, why?
We will know much more about the headset on monday when apple hosts there wwdc.

dude frl. knock it off! and as for your answer you are looking for.
apple will probably make a new operating system, kinda like airpodOS, and they will incorperate voiceover. duh!
i'm sick of being underestimated. you bring up a point against me, bring the evidence or it's completely bullshit. also fuck pedofilia.

Imagine always walking around with a stupid head set on your ears in order to know what's around you. Don't get me wrong, I like the concept but it's not designed for walking around with. And it could also be dangerous walking around with such an expensive thing on you.
And that, is why you shouldn't do this.

don't forget that The Vision Pro only has a battery life of 2 hours. Third-party battery packs might be available, but they're probably expensive.

Not only the fact that it's expensive, of course that as well. But don't walk around in headphones at all.
