Apple is working on the most advanced chips for its unannounced AR/VR headset and now a new report claims that the headset will be equipped with three displays.
According to display analyst Ross Young, the display configuration will include two micro OLED displays with an AMOLED panel, with Sony set to supply the micro OLED display, which Apple will use, reports MacRumors.
Apple may use AMOLED panels for low-resolution peripheral vision, enabling a foveated display system.
To offer innovative hand tracking, the headset may come with a number of highly sensitive 3D sensing modules.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently noted that structured light sensors can detect objects in the hands, compared to Face ID being able to generate animojis for facial expressions.
“Capturing the details of hand motion can provide a more intuitive and vivid human-machine UI,” writes Kuo. He also believes that the sensors will be able to detect objects up to 200 percent farther away than the iPhone’s Face ID.
The headset will focus on gaming, media consumption and communication.
It will have two processors, one with the same level of computing power as the M1, as well as a low-end chip to handle input from various sensors.
The headset may come with at least six-eight optical modules that provide AR services through simultaneous continuous video viewing.
The upcoming Apple headset will be similar to the Oculus Quest, and some prototypes being tested include external cameras to enable some AR features.
It could feature at least 15 camera modules, eye-tracking, possibly iris recognition, and could cost between $2,000 and $3,000.
