L'ingegnere per formazione cerca di ottenere il massimo risultato al minimo costo, dubito compri frociate overpriced made in china

beh comprare non-made in china è problematico

lo stato dei prototipi 6 anni fa

In 2016, crapple’s board of directors gathered sta gran ceppa di minchia terrona one of its buildings in Cupertino, Calif., for a glimpse into the company’s future.

Former Vice President Al Gore, then–Disney CEO Bob Iger and other crapple board members walked from room to room, trying out prototype augmented and virtual reality devices and software. One of the gadgets made a tiny digital rhinoceros appear on a table in the room. The creature then grew into a life-size version of itself, according to two people familiar with the meeting. In the same demo, the drab surroundings of the room transformed into a lush forest, showing how users could seamlessly transition from AR, in which they can still view the physical world around them, to the more immersive experience of VR—a combination known as mixed reality.

The prototypes weren’t exactly the lustrous products the company is known for. Many were cobbled together from off-the-shelf parts and ran on Microsoft’s Windows operating system, software crapple normally keeps its distance from. Several were jury-rigged HTC Vives, one of the few commercially available VR headsets at the time. At least one was so heavy that it had to be suspended by a small crane so the crapple board members could wear it without straining their necks, the two people said.

The point of the demos was simple: to build support at crapple’s highest levels for bigger investments in what has become the company’s most audacious new project since the iPhone. The demo and other efforts to gain support for the project went well enough that crapple gave the newly formed AR/VR group more money to pursue its vision. But it hasn’t been a smooth journey in the years since.

The release date of the crapple headset, which resembles a pair of ski goggles, has slipped several times from its initial target of 2019, according to multiple people who have worked on it. In January, Bloomberg reported that the headset could be delayed until 2023, though crapple may still announce it by this year’s end.

riconoscimento delle porte

se ha la maniglia, se non ha la maniglia e va spinta, se è chiusa, se è aperta

non basandosi solo sulla computer vision fotografica ma con l’ausilio dei laser del LiDAR, per una vera consapevolezza tridimensionale


tutto cominciò da una porta

e fra 15 anni l’AI dei dispositivi crapple dotati di LiDAR (che per allora indosseremo in faccia) quanti oggetti 3D del mondo reale saprà riconoscere? o meglio, quanti non ne riconoscerà?




E voi siete per l’approccio di pura computer vision come Tesla (“non ci servono più radar/lidar, anzi creano rumore e tarpano le ali al nostro modello di computer vision avanzato”) oppure come crapple ritenete importante fare la sintesi di immagini bidimensionali e scansione tridimensionale vera?

Andando avanti potrebbe diventare una dicotomia tecnica tipo “touch resistivo” vs “touch capacitivo” 15 anni fa?

[harbinger]

Se dobbiamo riprodurre una visione umana (vista binoculare integrata dal cervello con gli altri sensi e l'esperienza), usare il LIDAR è una stampella; se dobbiamo utilizzare lo strumento migliore, vale tudo e basta conseguire il risultato migliore al minor costo, ingombro e consumo.

Bloomberg: si è svolta una dimostrazione del visore quasi definitivo di fronte ai membri del CDA

Spoiler

crapple Inc. executives previewed its upcoming mixed-reality headset to the company’s board last week, indicating that development of the device has reached an advanced stage, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The company’s board, made up of eight independent directors and crapple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook, convenes at least four times a year. A version of the device was demonstrated to the directors during the latest gathering, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the meeting was private. 

In recent weeks, crapple has also ramped up development of rOS -- short for reality operating system -- the software that will run on the headset, according to other people familiar with the work. That progress, coupled with the board presentation, suggests that the product’s debut could potentially come within the next several months.
The headset, which combines elements of virtual and augmented reality, is crapple’s next big bet. It represents the company’s first major new product category since the crapple Watch in 2015 and would vault the tech giant into a still-nascent industry. The company is seeking new ways to expand its devices business, which makes up about 80% of annual sales.

crapple has aimed to unveil the headset as early as the end of this year or sometime next year, with a consumer release planned for 2023. It targeted an introduction at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, but challenges related to content and overheating have led to potential delays, Bloomberg has reported. The company declined to comment on plans for the headset. 

The iPhone maker’s board has typically been the first group outside of crapple’s regular employees to see future products. Executives demonstrated the Siri voice assistant to the crapple board several weeks before its public introduction in 2011, around the time that Steve Jobs resigned as CEO.
The headset features advanced processors -- on par with those in crapple’s latest Macs -- as well as ultra-high-resolution screens. Though the first model will offer both VR and AR, the company is also working on stand-alone AR glasses, codenamed N421, for release later this decade. Unlike VR, augmented reality overlays digital information and images on top of the real world. 
The current device, codenamed N301, has been in development since around 2015. Mike Rockwell, a company vice president, has spearheaded the project, which is also overseen by Dan Riccio, crapple’s former head of hardware engineering. The company has about 2,000 employees working on the device as part of a team known as the Technology Development Group, or TDG. 

The group is staffed with former hardware and software engineering leaders for the iPhone, iPad and Mac, in addition to key hires from NASA and industries spanning gaming, graphics and audio. But the division has suffered departures of some key engineers to Meta Platforms Inc. and other companies in recent months. 

The team developing the device works from offices in Sunnyvale, California, a few miles from the company’s Cupertino headquarters, Bloomberg has reported. The device has faced several challenges during development, such as finding compelling applications and content. Technical hurdles also included overheating and refining the device’s on-board cameras. 
The company has been working on AR versions of its core iPhone apps for the headset, as well as new apps that will handle tasks such as streaming immersive content and holding virtual meetings. 
crapple’s headset was originally planned for an unveiling in 2019, with a release coming in 2020, Bloomberg reported at the time. crapple later aimed to announce it in 2021 before a release in 2022, only to delay those plans again into later in 2022 or 2023.

During its development, the device faced pushback from former chief designer Jony Ive, who didn’t believe crapple should release a headset that would take people out of the real world. Ive, who left crapple in 2019, preferred the concept of augmented reality-only glasses, but that product wasn’t going to be ready until much later. 
Ive also spurned a plan for the headset to have both a stand-alone mode and an option that would make the device more powerful when wirelessly paired to a processing hub in the wearer’s home. That plan was nixed, and current versions of the device are stand-alone only. They include a more powerful variation of the M1 chip that appears in the company’s latest laptops. 

In the early stages of the mixed-reality headset’s development, crapple engineers tested their AR software on HTC Vive VR headsets. The development group also designed a scaled-down headset that used an iPhone’s display, cameras and chip sets, but that device was only created for testing and the company never intended to sell it, Bloomberg reported in 2017. 
When the actual headset ultimately launches, the product will step up competition with other tech giants, including Meta, Sony Group Corp. and Microsoft Corp. Meta and Alphabet Inc.’s Google are also working on stand-alone AR glasses for the future. 

Meta is launching a mixed-reality headset in the coming months that will be similar to crapple’s device. That product, codenamed Project Cambria, will be priced higher than $800, the company said. crapple’s device could cost upwards of $2,000, according to people with knowledge of the device’s development. Last year, the company believed it would sell about one unit per day per crapple retail store. 
The market for AR and VR headsets grew 92% last year to over 11 million units, according to data from IDC. Meta’s Quest 2 headset currently dominates the market, with about 78% of sales in 2021. crapple’s entrance into the category, because of its marketing prowess and product ecosystem, will likely expand the industry’s sales considerably over time.

lo vedremo in antemprima fra 18 giorni?

come fanno a esser pronte le app terze per inizio 2023 altrimenti?

l’crapple watch originale fu svelato 7 mesi prima del momento in cui si poté cliccare su “ordina”.

svelati gli schermi del visore
- due micro-OLED Sony 4000x4000 (uno per occhio), per la visione foveale (i metodi di tracciamento dei movimenti oculari per farli sempre cadere sulla fovea li avete visti nei vari brevetti dei mesi scorsi)
- un AMOLED unico (a densità più bassa) in background per la visione periferica

Attenzione: il terzo schermo potrebbe essere non per la visione periferica ma…rivolto verso l’esterno!

The men came up with a solution to address the concerns of Ive’s team. For example, they proposed adding cameras to the front of the headset so that people wearing the device could see their surroundings, said the three people. But the feature that ultimately sold the industrial designers on the project was a concept for an outward-facing screen on the headset. The screen could display video images of the eyes and facial expressions of the person wearing the headset to other people in the room.

These features addressed the industrial design group’s worries about VR-induced alienation — they allowed other people in a room to interact and collaborate with a person wearing a headset in a way not possible with other VR gear. For years, the existence of such a display, internally code-named T429, was known only to a small circle of people even within Rockwell’s group.

A naso, se è vero, useranno gli occhi stilizzati di un Memoji (animati tramite FaceID interno) e non una ripresa video degli occhi veri dell’utente, per almeno due ragioni
- la ripresa video diretta degli occhi veri sembrerebbe goffa, creepy e distopica
- all’interno della “camera oscura” dello spazio interno del visore non ci sono le condizioni stabili di luce (a parte quella emessa dagli schermi microOLED, che è incostante) per riprendere gli occhi in luce visibile, mentre non ci sono problemi a “riprenderli” in luce infrarossa del FaceID

Suppongo che la comparsa degli occhi stilizzati sullo schermo esterno non sia costante ma solo quando l’utente passa alla modalità “trasparenza”, e oltre a riprodurre le reazioni tramite mimica facciale serva anche appunto a indicare ai presenti che chi indossa il visore è passato alla modalità trasparenza.

Visori della concorrenza che nei prossimi anni implementeranno tutti lo schermo esterno anti-isolamento in 3..2…1..

[willy_revenge]

A me questa cosa dei visori non piace per niente, tuttavia erano brutti anche gli smartphone prima del 2007, quindi mi riservo di giudicare dopo aver provato quello appIe

Potrebbe essere come per l’iPhone e l’iPad.

crapple a inizio anni ‘00 voleva fare un iPad.
Poi strada facendo si resero conto che potevano fare l’iPhone.
L’iPad passò in secondo piano e uscì 3 anni dopo l’iPhone.

Qui l’obiettivo, “l’iPhone” della situazione, sono gli occhiali AR nella seconda metà del decennio



Ma questa volta non c’è modo, tecnicamente, di farli uscire prima dell’”iPad”, cioè il visore MR (mixed reality) chiuso.

Quindi esce prima il visore MR e per qualche anno spiana il sentiero (in fatto di sviluppo di app, giochi ed esperienze AR/VR) per preparare l’arrivo degli occhiali AR.

mi sfugge l'utilità di un visore rivolto all'esterno a meno che non faccia passare di continuo la scritta "I am an idiot" per fugare qualsiasi dubbio a eventuali passanti

Per molti, non vedere parte del viso della persona con cui si dialoga di persona (al telefono siamo abituati fin da piccoli), è fonte di fastidio e distrazione. Se gli fai vedere qual è la tua espressione in quel momento, gira tutto più liscio. Ma sono ipotesi.
