American IT giant Apple has begun selling mixed reality (MR) goggle-type terminals in the United States that display images of real scenery and virtual reality superimposed on each other. Competition is intensifying in this field, with the former Facebook company Meta also stepping up its efforts, and people are interested in whether Apple's entry will lead to market expansion.
On the 2nd, Apple began selling its first MR goggle-type device ``Vision Pro'' in the United States.
When you put on the goggles, a huge screen appears in front of you, displaying VR (virtual reality) or CG superimposed on real scenery, and is designed to be operated using only your eyes, hand movements, and voice.
In addition to being able to enjoy games and movies, it also reflects the rich natural scenery and allows you to feel as if you are actually there.
The price is $3,499, or approximately 510,000 yen in Japanese yen, and they hope to release it in countries other than the United States in the second half of this year.
In the field of MR and VR, competition is intensifying, with American IT giant Meta also releasing a goggle-type terminal in anticipation of future demand, and there is interest in whether Apple's entry will lead to market expansion.
