VR is now the war of two major competitors: HTC blessed by Oculus and Valve belonging to Facebook. By October, Sony released its PS4-driven PSVR, which will also compete with Rift and Vive, two heavyweight VR devices. Although everyone is currently looking at these three VR giants, we must not forget that there is another sleeping giant - yes, that is Apple, and recent signs indicate that it seems to be starting to move.
Today, Apple’s patent was revealed. The specific name of the patent is “Head-Mounted Display Apparatus For Retaining A Portable Electronic Device With Display.†It is literally translated as: a head mounted display device for holding a portable electronic device with a screen, although some awkward)".
This patent outlines a head-mounted display that can display a specific image and is paired with the iPhone. This "head-up" includes a built-in headset, a Lightning interface to the iPhone, a spectacle-like appearance, and custom-made lenses.
At first glance, the appearance of Apple's invention is somewhat similar to that of Samsung's Gear VR. There are quite a few differences between these two devices and glasses boxes like Google Cardboard. According to the patent's description language, the main intellectual property rights Apple wants to protect through this patent is the pairing function.
This pending patent may not be as important as it first appeared. Big companies like Apple must have a huge R&D department that produces creative and prototypes faster than they can be tested and applied. The thing Apple didn't want to see was because the censorship was slow and missed a solid intellectual property. Therefore, large companies like Apple will apply for patents for intellectual property that may not be put into production at least in the short term.
That doesn't mean that we won't have the opportunity to see this device or a similar product come online. What's interesting about this patent is that they have confirmed to us that Apple is really developing some kind of VR system. In addition, this device should have a close relationship with the iPhone, which also explains why Apple will actively participate in promoting the development of the smart phone industry. One thing we cannot ignore is that Apple is also very confident about the potential of AR.
This patent is just a glimpse of the complex internal work of Apple Inc., but it is also enough to make people who are looking forward to Apple's production of VR devices are excited. In the future, fruit powder can be worn with only one button and the VR head of the all-metal body.
