It has to be said that the development of mobile smartphones has entered a bottleneck period in recent years.
Each generation of product iterations either upgrades the core configuration according to the rules, changes the skin in appearance by the way, or rolls the price to each other!
Like the endless innovative designs that have emerged in the past, to be honest, Xiaoyi has not seen it for a long time!
In contrast, technological innovation in other fields of science and technology is always ongoing!
Last year's "metaverse", this year's artificial intelligence ChatGPT, etc. are good examples!
The metaverse refers to the construction of a virtual world that can interact with the real world and have a new social system through our human digital technology.
However, limited to the current level of technology, this is still a relatively early conceptual stage.
It is also unlikely to be used in the real life of ordinary people in the short term.
ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool driven by artificial intelligence technology, commonly known as intelligent chatbots.
With the blessing of advanced network neural architecture and massive data training models, it can be regarded as getting rid of our previous stereotype of "artificial intellectual disability".
In addition to chatting like a real human, ChatGPT can ghostwrite emails, video scripts, copywriting, work summaries, papers, and even code!
It has to be admitted that the future application scenarios of ChatGPT will definitely be quite extensive.
However, for most people, ChatGPT is still only a new pastime tool.
Completely handing over important work to an emotionless robot is not something that can be truly achieved in a short period of time.
Putting aside the above, is there any "future technology" that we ordinary people can actually touch?
It's time to pull out virtual reality (VR) to nag!
The concept of VR was actually proposed many years ago, and to put it bluntly, it is to bring the user's consciousness into a virtual world.
In this world, you can enjoy more immersive, realistic and immersive feelings.
Of course, the scenes and people seen in the VR world are presented digitally and virtually.
Like the current VR theater, VR games, etc. take advantage of this technology.
To get a feel for VR, you'll also need to use some equipment, such as VR glasses!
This kind of sci-fi field, which has attracted much attention, many mobile phone manufacturers have also been involved.
E-commerce platforms have even seen a huge number of dizzying cheap VR glasses!
On the contrary, the technology giant Apple has not launched related products?
In fact, Apple has been developing VR smart wearable devices, and Cook has publicly expressed optimism about the technology on more than one occasion!
It is said that the release date of Apple's first VR product has been pushed back several times, and it was originally planned to meet us in April this year.
Perhaps because there are still some details in the polishing process, it is given to the pigeons again.
However, recently, according to the Financial Times, Cook has been eager to bring a VR/AR glasses despite the opposition of the development team.
The first generation may be named Reality PRO.
The final timeline is heading towards the WWDC World Development Conference in June this year.
As for why Cook is in a hurry, perhaps this is a product developed by him from beginning to end after Jobs!
According to various news, it has a micro OLED display with ultra-high resolution of 2800 pixels per inch.
It is equipped with two chipsets, one Apple M2 chip to support computer-like display functions, and the other to handle VR/AR functions.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi didn't know whether to be happy or sad!
Happily, this level of hardware specifications, performance naturally needless to say, the achieved functions may be beyond our imagination.
Sadly, this thing is definitely not cheap!
In addition, Bloomberg @Mark Gurman leaked that Apple has also developed a new operating system specifically for it, RealityOS.
The system brings pupil and gesture interface control and interaction functions to VR/AR glasses.
Integrate various applications and even include the AppStore, where developers can develop and test programs.
It seems that Apple is really moving the VR/AR field, as if it has the product as an important development direction in the future!
Imagine that with Apple's appeal, it is only a matter of time before a huge VR/AR system ecology is formed.
Maybe it can really threaten the status of the iPhone!
