Apple reportedly aims to release AR/VR headset in 2021

The excitement over augmented and virtual reality seems to be dying down, at least in the public eye. But a new report from Bloomberg claims Apple is developing its own AR/VR headset with a scheduled 2021 release. And then a couple of years later, the company will supposedly release its own smart glasses. The focus for the AR and VR headset will be around gaming, watching videos, and virtual meetings. The headset were supposedly supposed to come out in 2020, but it got pushed back.

Lenovo makes AR headset for ‘Star Wars’ games

It’s not something you’d expect to be announced at Disney’s D23 Expo in Anaheim, California but here it is. Lenovo and Disney have partnered to release its own augmented reality headset, which would need a smartphone for it to work. Not much is known yet about the headset but the first game coming is called Star Wars: Jedi Challenges and it looks like it’ll bring your lightsaber-wielding dreams to life as you have a motion controller for it. Other games coming include Holochess, which is considered a catch-all term for the holographic games in the Star Wars universe. No announcement yet on the release dates of the headset and the games but according to its website, it’s “coming soon to Best Buy and Lenovo.com.”
