Below is an appearance image created by The Information based on leak information about Apple's MR headset developed under the code name ' N301 '. The headset itself looks like a curved visor, and the parts that come into direct contact with the face are made of fabric mesh like the HomePod . The headband is made of rubber like the band of Apple Watch .
In terms of hardware, it not only has an 8K display for each eye, but also has more than 12 cameras for tracking hand movements, a LiDAR sensor for object mapping, and the ultra-high performance and much- talked-about ' M1 ' chip. Also equipped with Apple Silicon, which has even better performance than the above. On the software side, instead of constantly outputting 8K video on the entire surface of the display to save power, it seems that the technology of 'high resolution only the part you are looking at' is adopted by the latest eye tracking technology.

There seems to be. In addition, multiple operation methods have also been experimented, and it is said that a thimble glove type device and a dial attached to the side of the main body are being considered.
The 'N301' is aiming to be released within 2022, and the price is expected to be 3,000 dollars (about 320,000 yen), and the internal target is 'to ship 250,000 units in the first year'.
