The battle for dominance in the mixed reality headset market is heating up, with tech giants Apple and Meta gearing up to launch their latest offerings.
$Apple(AAPL)$ and $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ both go up as the headset topic is heating. As these two industry giants vie for the top spot, the question arises: who will succeed in monetizing the VR/AR headset?
Apple to release mixed-reality headset on WWDC (5th June)
$Apple(AAPL)$ is expected to announce its first major product line since the Apple Watch in 2014 during its software-focused developer conference, WWDC on 5th June.
When it comes to introducing groundbreaking products, Apple has a track record of success. From the iPod to the iPhone and Apple Watch, Apple has consistently demonstrated its ability to capture the market's attention and create demand for its devices.
The anticipated announcement is about a mixed-reality headset that combines virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies.
The headset is rumored to feature high-definition screens in front of the user's eyes and high-powered cameras that allow users to see and interact with the real world. Apple's headset is expected to be more powerful than existing VR headsets, with a 4K resolution screen for each eye and a powerful Apple-designed chip.
Apple headset speculation
If Apple can bring its signature approach to the mixed reality headset market, it could potentially bridge the gap between early adopters and mainstream consumers.
Meta released Quest 3 yesterday
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ CEO Mark Zuckerberg yesterday revealed the company’s next generation mixed reality headset, the Quest 3. The Meta Quest 3 is priced at USD 499 and is set to ship to customers this fall.
Priced at an attractive USD 499, the headset offers a high-resolution display, improved graphics performance, and a revamped design.
With compatibility for over 500 VR titles out of the box, Meta Quest 3 aims to provide a seamless and immersive gaming experience to a wide range of users.
Meta, with its extensive user base and developer community, has an advantage in terms of content and ecosystem. The company's emphasis on social interactions and connectivity within its VR platform could prove to be a strong draw for users looking to engage with others in virtual environments.
Who will succedd in monetizing the headset: the forerunner Meta or the newcomer Apple?
