蘋果今年亮相VR/AR頭戴設備細節曝光
傳聞中最快今年問世的蘋果(AAPL.US)混合現實設備——VR（虛擬現實）/AR（增強現實）頭戴設備有細節曝光。
美東時間1月23日週一，媒體爆料稱，蘋果的上述設備可能被稱爲Reality Pro，售價約3000美元，是Meta融合VR與AR頭戴設備Quest Pro的兩倍。蘋果計劃最早今年春季推出Reality Pro，主要賣點是完全有別於競品的追蹤用戶眼睛和手部的功能。
具體來說，該設備有多個外部攝像頭可以分析用戶的雙手，以及內置傳感器讀取雙眼活動。因此，佩戴的用戶可以通過注視顯示屏上的項目——無論是按鍵、App圖標，還是列表來控制該設備。
用戶還可以把拇指和食指並在一起激活任務，無需真正用手握住任何東西激活。這和依靠手動控制器的其他頭戴設備截然不同。
而且，蘋果的設備能顯示沉浸式的視頻內容，可以充當聯通Mac電腦的一個外部顯示器，這和iPhone和iPad的功能類似。
該設備有兩個索尼開發的超高分辨率顯示器，用於處理VR和一系列外部攝像頭，以便進入AR直通模式。也就是說，用戶可以通過設備上的攝像頭看到真實的世界。蘋果將爲設備外殼包裹的眼鏡提供用戶的定製鏡片。
該設備還有一個像Apple Watch那樣的數字表殼，讓用戶可以在VR和AR狀態間切換，VR狀態時，用戶完全沉浸在虛擬內容中，換爲AR狀態後，內容逐漸淡出，用戶被真實環境包圍。消息人士稱，蘋果預計這將是該設備的一大亮點。
此外，該設備的FaceTime軟件可以在VR環境中逼真地呈現用戶的真實面部和全身。兩個佩戴設備的用戶可以通過虛擬化身面對面交流，感覺就像真人在同一個房間裏交流一樣。這和Meta的頭戴設備在虛擬會議室中給用戶提供更卡通化的頭像截然不同。
由於上述功能需要強大的處理能力，因此，蘋果的設備僅支持一對一視頻聊天時展示逼真的頭像，在多人進行的FaceTime會話中，其他用戶將顯示爲圖標或者蘋果的定製表情符。
媒體稱，蘋果預計，在發佈Reality Pro的第一年，將銷售約100萬部，遠低於iPhone通常賣2億部的銷量。而且，蘋果並未計劃第一版的Reality Pro就盈利，暗示對Reality Pro平臺着眼長遠。
媒體指出，沉浸式觀看視頻是Reality Pro核心功能之一。蘋果已經在和迪士尼以及Dolby Laboratories等大概六家媒體商討開發Reality Pro的VR內容，蘋果還在研究升級旗下Apple TV+的內容，讓它適配Reality Pro。
