Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are two fields in which Apple is very interested. What's more, CEO Tim Cook himself has publicly demonstrated this interest. Rumors are betting on a new device based on these technologies for, at the earliest, 2019. However, one of Apple's main competitors, Samsung, could get ahead of Cupertino's and teach your own bet this year 2018.
Rumors bet on Apple glasses that would mix the two technologies: Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. Also, as reported some time ago, Apple would have two small screens in the glasses with an 8k resolution for each eye. However, in an attempt to earn its own piece of the pie from these technologies, the publication The Korean Times has released information in which it indicates that Samsung would have them ready for IFA 2018 —End of August / beginning of September this year in Berlin—, his own model.
What is also striking about both models that are about to hit the market is that would be completely wireless and would not require a computer Host to work —No computer or smart phone—; that is, one more plus to powerfully attract the attention of users.
Also, the medium online he says that Samsung would partner with Microsoft for this launch and thus take advantage of Mixed Reality technology, a technology that arrived in Spain at the beginning of this year. Although, as we have already told you, these models do have cables and need a computer to function. What's more, Samsung already has the Samsung Odyssey.
On the other hand, Samsung would have asked Microsoft to use its processors on the Mixed Reality platform to support its ecosystem. For their part, those of Redmond would be working to offer new titles and new experiences to users and thus promote this technology.
