Hope it won't need any augmentation canisters. Since J.C. Denton entered the Illuminati those are quite hard to get.

    Vegetaholic, 10 Nov 2017AR can't compete with VR, VR is way more immersive, I hope ... moreAR can be used with your surrounding, VR is completely off. both of them is completely different but i feel like AR is more useful than VR in real life tbh

      AR can't compete with VR, VR is way more immersive, I hope Apple will fail on this

            MARK, 09 Nov 2017I will guess on the comment section hater 1: google had ... moreIt won't work , like the smartwatch so is AR. A disastrous idea, a moneysink, a black hole of finances.

            Also HTC has VR, not AR. VR is the future of humanity. AR is a footnote that everybody will forget.

              Anonymous, 09 Nov 2017AR on phones IS the waste. Your hands get sore holding y... moreNobody is going to wear it on their head. Google tried and failed.

              AR is a fail tech in general only saved by phones. In so far it requires a headset it shouldn't even ever been attempted. People care much more about the opinion of others than "function".

              Google learnt it the hard way, Apple should too. Apparently you should too... be taught a lesson.

              Btw only VR can work witha headset because it operates in the privacy of your own home... AR is a fail tech...

                I think I've found the reason why there are less enthusiastic with VR. The reason is simple, it is just difficult to make an excellent VR experience for the masses.
                VR has issues with safety/injuries as the user doesn't see the external environment.
                Has issues with speed/latency which reduces the amount of time a person can stay in VR.
                AR can be less resource demanding as the developed application doesn't demand the whole VR experience.
                AR is a small step to VR.

                  Screens Maniac, 09 Nov 2017Notch sight featured glass is coming. Thy will improve you ... moreWhat's the big deal about the notch of the iPhone X. I would understand if you get one then you criticize about the notch, but lambasting w/o iPhone X is a waste of time reviling for nothing.

                        Apple: Just wait and see how we will refine your half baked tech :)

                          What's it gonna be called then? The iGlass? xD

                          Then they're gonna sue every company which has "Glass" in their product names?

                            Anonymous, 09 Nov 2017Augmented reality in anythin other than phones is waste of ... moreAR on phones IS the waste.

                            Your hands get sore holding your phone.

                            AR is meant to be wore on the head. So long as there is a lot of people using it, there is no such thing as 'not fasionable'

                              Notch sight featured glass is coming. Thy will improve you that your sight is wrong and you need see that notch in all life situations. Thats a best improve of your life moments. Because is not for sight, not for full view, but for notch! Yea every apple user have notch in his brain to not see something, and now blind spot will be implemented showed for everyone with insanity. I think they dreaming about Blackberry place now. Blank space. Notch thinking. Think notchy.

                                Apple currently "Working" doesn't mean R&D and it could be "Stealing"...

                                  Considering the cost of the iphone x , this might go beyond 1000 USD
                                  who knows what they're up to this time ,I bet this AR headset will be the best of the beast.

                                      Augmented reality in anythin other than phones is waste of time and money. Like smartwatches no way is it going to fly in a fashion concious world. Nobody wants to be caught wearing a headset ...

                                      After the excellent iphone X I see Apple is back at her recent (post Jobs) self. Don't they see that unfashionable ideas (smartwatches, headsets) dillute the brand? Apple is supposed to be the fashion concious tech brand... oh well.

                                        I can see this either being expensively average or makes the average consumer look painfully stupid, like Where's Waldo stupid.
