In practically all the last keynote in which Apple has presented the new iPhone and iPad, the Cupertino-based company has made some mention of the possibilities of its devices with augmented reality, possibilities for which at the moment it seems that the developer community is not interested.
The new iPad Pro that Apple presented last week directly through its website, integrates a LIDAR sensor, a sensor capable of measure distances in a much faster and easier way than through the camera as we could already do with the iPhone with the Measurements application.
The latest rumor related to Apple's augmented reality, we find it in the news we published a few days ago where Digitimes affirms that Apple will present its augmented reality device in 2022. The MacRumors medium, which had access to a version of iOS 14, has discovered a lot information related to virtual reality.
But in addition, he has also had access to an image that appears to be a control of a virtual and augmented reality device, With a design very similar to the one we can currently find in the HTC Vive, a device that was launched in 2016 on the market.
In 2017, Mark Gurman stated that Apple engineers they were working with HTC hardware to perform internal tests, information that was confirmed through a rumor that both companies were working together on a new AR / VR device.
As we can see in the image, the control design is very simple, so its final appearance probably has nothing to do with what Apple plans to offer us when it is officially presented in a couple of years, although due to the pandemic we are suffering and we do not know how long it will last, it could affect both its development and its launch.
