We already said it. Apple is giving a lot of importance to augmented reality. It is not only shown with the purchase of startups in these fields. It is also being seen with the numerous patents that the company registers in this field. A new piece of information is added to enhance this theory and make it almost a reality. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple could include Augmented Reality on Apple TV + by 2021.
It is clear that augmented reality is the future, but not only for Apple, for any technology company and more so for those that create and sell portable terminals where this technology can be so useful. As for Apple's multimedia service, which is characterized by its scarce but high-quality content, it could give this type of service another twist and add augmented reality to Apple TV + content. That of course, would put his rivals in a difficult situation and surely it would bring together the numbers of users that both have.
The service would work as follows. It would take certain aspects of the scenes of a television program, read objects or protagonists and show them on the compatible device. In this way the viewer, it could be said that it would be part of the scene. You could get more involved in the shows you are watching. Very useful for example in documentaries or in those scenes where we are thoroughly informed of something and we want to have that object close to us.
According to the Bloomberg source, Apple would launch this feature in 2021, although he is also considering getting rid of the project entirely. It also alleges that the company planned to launch it at the end of this 2020, but the Coronavirus pandemic has disrupted their plans. As always happens with rumors, we will have to wait to see what happens and continue listening to the new information that comes out on this subject.
