Apple is reportedly making a standalone VR and AR headset with two 8K displays



 
Apple is making a VR and AR headset that would combine both technologies and use the company’s proprietary chips, according to a report from CNET, citing a person familiar with the plans. The headset will reportedly arrive in 2020.
There’s very limited information about the headset and CNET is only citing a single source in its report. It describes a dream headset with technology that doesn’t exist so far on the market. CNET says there will be an 8K display for each eye, which seems ambitious, considering the best VR headsets on the market now barely reach 4K per eye. The headset will have cameras that detect the surroundings. It’s supposedly going to connect to a dedicated box through a high-speed, wireless tech called 60GHz WiGig. The box will be powered by a 5-nanometer proprietary Apple processor, the anonymous source told CNET. Apple’s current A11 Bionic processor in the iPhone X uses 10-nanometer construction, so this would utilize an as-yet-unreleased chip.
It appears, if the report can be trusted, that by using new technology, Apple will be able to make a completely wireless headset and box to solve the VR market’s current major problem of having too many wires. The project is supposedly codenamed T288. We’ve reached out to Apple for more information

Disney made a jacket to simulate physical experiences, like a snake slithering across your body

Image
Disney Research, MIT Media Lab, and Carnegie Mellon University have unveiled a new conceptual haptic “force jacket” that simulates physical experiences to people wearing the device. The force jacket is lined with airbags controlled by a computer that inflates and deflates the bags. Disney envisions the jacket will be used with VR headsets for more immersive experiences, given its ability to simulate hugs, being hit or punched, and peculiarly, the sensation of a snake slithering across your body. The jacket is made up of airbags with sensors attached that direct force and vibrations to specific locations on your body. The software-controlled jacket weighs about five pounds and has a valve system that inflates and deflates 26 air compartments. It has adjustable sleeves, and the vest is made of a repurposed life vest with the inside foam replaced with the air bags. The air compartments are located on the jacket’s fr

Review: Windows 10 April 2018 Update shows promise, but ultimately disappoints

Image
After an unexpected delay, Microsoft has at last begun rolling out the new Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803) half a year after the last big Windows 10 update, the Fall Creators Update (version 1709), in October 2017. The April 2018 Update, which was code-named Redstone 4, offers a slew of new features, notably one called Timeline that lets you quickly resume earlier activities, and the Diagnostic Data Viewer, which Microsoft says will make it easier for you to know and control what data Microsoft gathers about you.
