Switching between AR and VR is a unique selling point
The Apple Reality glasses, according to a tweet from Ming-Chi Kuo (a very reliable Apple news analyst) bet on a smooth transition between AR and VR. If these glasses can show both ‘virtual reality’ and ‘augmented reality’, they will distinguish themselves from the glasses that are already on the market. So with that it is a unique selling point for Apple.
Kuo reports that it’s hard for most people to imagine what an innovative experience the smooth switching between AR and VR can provide. You can read exactly what the benefits are in this article.
Why would Apple want to quickly switch between AR and VR?
With AR (augmented reality) you still see the real world around you and various 3D objects are added to it through the glasses. With VR (virtual reality) you step completely into the computer-generated world. So there is definitely a difference between these two techniques. Then why would you want to pack them into one headset?

With glasses that should be able to do both options (such as the Apple Reality), you naturally do not want to look at a charging icon for two minutes. No, you want to step effortlessly from the real world into the 3D world. According to Kuo, this smooth transition is exactly what Apple is working on right now.
Launch of Apple AR/VR Glasses
Apple seems to be planning to announce the headset in the second quarter of 2023. At least that’s what Kuo thinks. According to him, the headset becomes quite powerful. It offers computing power comparable to that of the Mac’s M1 processor. The headset is also reportedly equipped with two 8K screens.
According to the rumors, the headset has undergone a difficult development. Problems such as overheating and too short a battery life are still unresolved, according to the sources. Still, Apple’s AR/VR glasses seem to be on the way. He would even have been presented at a board meeting.
