Jony Ive-Designed Apple Headset to Reportedly Feature 14 Cameras
A new report today by The Information has shared some additional details about Apple’s highly-anticipated AR/VR headset, which the company reportedly previewed to its board members last week (via MacRumors).
According to the publication, Apple’s forthcoming mixed-reality headset will feature 14 cameras to enable “lifelike avatars with accurate facial expressions.” The report adds that “incorporating 14 cameras on the headset has caused headaches for hardware and algorithm engineers.”
The initial version of Apple’s headset is also said to lack a focus on gaming, notes the report. “Four people who have worked on the project also criticized its lack of focus on gaming, a category of software that appeals to early adopters.”
Moreover, Apple’s former design chief Jony Ive continues to remain involved in the Apple headset’s design as an external consultant to the company, the source notes.
One person familiar with the matter said Ive’s consulting work for Apple since he left includes the headset, adding that he is often brought in to help his former team push through their preferences in areas such as battery, camera placement and ergonomics over those of engineers.
Apple’s headset is apparently slated to be unveiled as early as the end of 2022 or early next, with a product launch in 2023. Reports claim the high-end device could cost up to a whopping $2,000 USD.

Google Brings Gemini Models Directly to Apple Developers inside Xcode
Google announced a major partnership with Apple today at WWDC, making its Gemini models available natively to Apple developers. The integration allows creators to pull cloud-hosted Gemini models into their applications and use them right inside Xcode to speed up coding tasks. Starting with the upcoming iOS 27, macOS 27, iPadOS 27, visionOS 27, and...
Nobody will buy this. At 500$ that’s still a lot to ask for but at that price at least it will find a market.
If it’s VR goggles, who would buy them and what would you use them for? Would you wear them in public? At the office? On a date?
The other person also needs to wear one on a date too..lol
Hardly anyone will buy them at that rumoured price of $2000 USD, especially since there will be next to no apps for Apple’s first MR/XR headset. Plus if there is 14 camera’s on these, then I am surprised that you are not calling these creepy, especially since you complained, and were even outraged when Google put 1 camera on their AR Glasses. I remember you saying that it was Gross and Creepy to spy on people. But I guess since there is 14 camera’s on Apple’s AR/VR (MR) headset, then its okay in your eyes. Especially since you have hypocritical standards.
As if anyone would wear these out in public. Could you imagine trying to wear them into a movie theatre? Or better yet into a Doctor’s office, or the Doctor is wearing them! Now that is creepy, and as you say Gross.
Google Glass was gross and creepy because they existed for only one reason, which was to let the glassholes covertly record everyone around them. Hard to be covert wearing a bucket or goggles.
There’s a big difference between something that could be used inappropriately and something designed to be. You’re not nearly bright enough to understand nuance.
“Google Glass was gross and creepy because they existed for only one reason, which was to let the glassholes covertly record everyone around them. Hard to be covert wearing a bucket or goggles.”
You truly love to show the world how ignorant you really are. As if Google Glass only existed for only one reason to record. You really enjoy looking like a fool. Google Glass has many uses and today many apps that help doctors, Beoing users to look at and inspect aircraft development, and even document any problems that are found. They are used in a number of manufactures today. Not to mention they are also used in navigation, including ships used for shipping cargo around the world.
Also the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th versions of Google Glasses all had lights that would come on as soon as that user enabled that 1 camera for a single picture, or recording video. Therefore letting the world know when that user is actually recording.
Google’s mission statement is “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”
Everything thing they do is to advance that goal. Everything. Anything else their products and services happen to do are extraneous to the primary goal. To think they aren’t doing exactly what they state they are doing shows just how mentally limited you are.
Now, respond with something that demonstrates your handicap.
