Hello everyone, welcome to dark horse commune
In recent years, the concept of meta-universe has been on fire, and many companies have made a lot of money on stocks with this change, and even well-known companies have changed their names to take the meta-universe track.
Of course, today we are not talking about the meta-universe, after all, the existing things are virtualized again, and Dark Horse really can't figure out what innovation there is. However, what we are going to talk about today does have a little to do with the metacosm.
Earlier, it was reported that Apple was piloting a VR/AR headset.
Is it difficult for Apple to also want to mix up the concept of metacosmology? NoNoNo, compared to other companies advocating money-making, Apple's reply is very straightforward: we don't use the words of the metaverse, it is augmented reality. In other words, AR.
According to the news, Apple's AR/VR hybrid headset device may be priced as high as $3,000, about 19,000 yuan. Unlike other hype meta-universe companies, Apple's AR device focuses on gaming or simply enhanced displays, rather than what the outside world thinks.
So far, the chips of the three AR/VR hybrid headset devices have been designed and are being handed over to TSMC for trial production.
At the same time, the well-known whistleblower Guo Mingxi said early on that Apple's VR headset is expected to be launched in mid-2022 and AR glasses in 2025.
To be honest, if it can really reach the form of science fiction films, Dark Horse feels that at least 2030 will have to go.
Because so far, VR headsets have many problems to be solved, and these problems have seriously affected the user experience.
For example, weight.
The best consumer headset on the market, HTC VIVE Cosmos, weighs as much as 651g. Think about it, such a thing is worn on your head, and it is still worn for an hour or two, what kind of iron head can bear such a weight?
Second, there is the resolution.
Because it is close to the human eye, the resolution needs to be higher to display the effect will be better, otherwise, we will have a grainy feeling when we wear VR, which is what everyone calls the screen window effect. For now, the display resolution of the VR headset must reach at least 4K and above to eliminate the sense of grain, but at present, the 4K VR headset, there is currently no!
Therefore, for Apple's AR device, dark horse does not have too high expectations, mainly dark horse can not afford to buy... Of course, we do not rule out that Apple's family is big and directly relies on piles of money to solve the problem. Anyway, don't have too high expectations
Ok, let's go back to the metaverse.
The metaverse in the eyes of the pie painter can bring users an immersive experience, can have a new digital identity, and can work and live in it. In the eyes of dark horses, this is pure nonsense, because the technology cannot reach this point at all. Second, if it's work, isn't that the existing telecommuting? Why do you have to move into the metaverse?
In Dark Horse's view, the metacosm is a change that some companies with a single income are suddenly choked by Apple and then have to make. The metaverse may be a good VR game, but it will definitely not become the future.
"Out of Control Player" and "Ready Player One" only exist in science fiction films.
