Tim Cook: You’ll wonder how you lived without AR(Augmented reality)
Although Apple has yet to release its first augmented reality hardware product, CEO Tim Cook predicts that users will soon be unable to imagine life without AR.
Cook compared the future impact of augmented reality to the profound change brought about by the internet during a Q&A session with students at an honorary degree-granting university in Naples, Italy.
He went there, yes.
Cook stated that people will wonder how they ever managed to live without augmented reality overlaying on the real world in the years to come.
According to MacRumors, he said in response to a question from a student: Augmented reality has me ecstatic. We've had a great conversation here today, but I think it would have been even better if we could have added something from the virtual world. Therefore, I believe that if you look back at a point in time, you know, zoom out to the future and look back, you will wonder how you managed your life without augmented reality—and this will undoubtedly occur in a short amount of time. We wonder, just like we do now, how people like me managed to grow up without the internet. Cook was delivering his speech at the Università Degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, where he was presented with a degree in innovation and international management. "So I think it could be that profound, and it’s not going to be that profound overnight..."
It is believed that Apple is finishing up its first wearable mixed reality product. Currently, it is thought that Apple will preview the headset in the first half of 2023 before making it available to the general public later that year.
Bloomberg reported recently that the first of three upcoming devices might be called the "Apple Reality Pro" and run on the realityOS operating system. Mark Gurman, a dependable Apple reporter, predicts that it will use the M2 chip and provide AR and VR content.
