Apple Renames Mixed-Reality Software to xrOS from realityOS

Apple Recently Renames Mixed-Reality Software to "xrOS" from "realityOS"

Earlier this year, Apple announced its long-awaited mixed reality headset is nearing fruition. The device is expected to feature VR and AR technologies, as well as virtual collaboration tools. It is said to have two 8K ultra-high-resolution displays and cutting-edge eye-tracking technology. The device will also reportedly have a software development kit, or SDK, that allows third-party developers to create apps for the device.

The company has been developing the mixed-reality operating system for the headset for nearly seven years. Senior engineering manager Geoff Stahl has been overseeing the project. The company has also been developing applications for the headset, including versions of Apple's Messages and Maps apps. A dedicated app store has also been developed for the device. The headset is expected to be priced at a premium, according to Bloomberg. However, shipments are not expected to exceed 1.5 million units.

The headset is said to be powered by an M2 chip processor, which is also featured in the latest Macs. It is also expected to have multiple external cameras, as well as hand tracking capabilities. It will feature a dedicated operating system and a software development kit that will allow third-party developers to create apps for the headset. Apple is also planning to introduce a dedicated app store for the headset. It is expected to offer new versions of core apps, such as FaceTime, as well as updated versions of popular apps that are not already compatible with MR.


Apple's first VR device is expected to feature ultra-high-resolution screens and more than a dozen cameras. It is also expected to feature eye-tracking technology and a ceramic shield coating. The headset is expected to cost at least two thousand dollars. It is also expected to be more expensive than its mainstream competitors.

A recent Bloomberg report indicated that Apple is likely to alter the name of its headset's operating system. The report suggests that the company is considering changing the name of the headset's operating system from realityOS to xrOS. This is a name that is less generic and reflects the mixed-reality capabilities of the headset.

Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a mixed-reality headset next year. A rumor suggested last year that the device would be "far more expensive" than other products. However, shipments for the device are expected to be limited to 1.5 million units in 2023. The company plans to introduce a dedicated operating system and a software Development Kit, or SDK, that will allow third-party developers to create applications for the headset.

The new software is expected to feature a version of Apple's Messages and Maps app that is optimized for mixed reality. It will also allow users to take video of their surroundings and send it through the headset's visor. The operating system is also expected to include cutting-edge eye-tracking technology.

In a recent trademark filing, Apple's subsidiary filed for a trademark for the word "Reality" in several countries, including the US, Canada, Germany, France, and China. The company also trademarked the name "Reality Pro" in August.
