Subj : The Apple VR headset display could be 50 times brighter than your To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Wed May 31 2023 13:45:03 The Apple VR headset display could be 50 times brighter than your Oculus Quest 2s Date: Wed, 31 May 2023 12:34:52 +0000 Description: Apple's VR headset display has been leaked; the micro OLED panel apparently offers 4K visuals and 5,000 nits of brightness. FULL STORY ====================================================================== Were days away from WWDC 2023 , Apples annual developer conference which we expect will be the launch event for the Apple VR headset . As we get closer to the event more and more leaks are seemingly spoiling the details, with the most recent of them unveiling the displays the headset could use. Respected Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has already detailed many of the high-end specs we should expect from the Apple headset which will apparently include 12 cameras and 2 processors saying that the screen it has is a micro OLED display from Sony. Now we have a few more details. According to Ross Young on Twitter hes the CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants and his bio says he has over 25 years of experience in the display industry the OLED screen will offer 4K resolution per eye and a peak brightness of 5,000 nits (around 50 times brighter than Metas Oculus Quest 2 which offers 100 nits). Should be 4K per eye... May 30, 2023 See more Young also claims the display has 4,000 PPI (pixels per inch). For comparison, the Quest 2 boasts only 773 PPI, while the Meta Quest Pro has around 1,059 PPI. If these stats are true Apples VR headset could offer incredible visuals. Its high pixel count should not only make virtual images appear clear but could help to eliminate the screendoor effect (the image looks like you're peering through a screendoor's mesh). Plus, with a high peak brightness, it would offer much better HDR than any other VR headset which should help to make experiences more immersive and real thats why one Meta prototype tried using a display thats 20,000 nits . As with all leaks, even those from analysts with insider knowledge, we should take this information with a pinch of salt. We wont know for certain what Apples VR headset has in store for us until it launches and its officially unveiled, and hopefully, we wont be left waiting for much longer. Another xrOS teaser Weve also got yet another confirmation of the Apple VR headsets operating system called xrOS. What appears to be an Apple shell company has not one but two trademarks for xrOS in New Zealand it has the name xrOS and a separate wordmark filing for xrOS written out in the SF Pro font. SF Pro official font Apple uses for all of its operating systems such as iOS, macOS, and others. Now the App Store itself has seemingly given the game away. After looking over some Apple source code, developer Steve Troughton-Smith attempted to submit an xrOS app to the App Store. His attempt failed, but the rejection message he received recognized that his app was incorrectly using the xrOS arm64 executable. This shows that App Store Connect an Apple-made system knows what xrOS is, and suggests that itll be the public name of the VR headsets operating software.

We cant wait to see whats unveiled. Want to see what Apples VR headset is up against?
