Apple reportedly showed off its mixed reality headset to board of directors - CNBC

Apple's board of directors previewed its mixed-reality headset last week, according to Bloomberg, suggesting that its next major new product category could launch soon.

Bloomberg describes the device as a mixed-reality headset, explaining that it will use cameras on its exterior to stream images to high-resolution displays on the inside of the virtual reality headset, a technique called "pass-through" augmented reality.

Last week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg previewed a virtual reality headset called "Project Cambria," which will have pass-through augmented reality.

Apple has never confirmed that it is developing a headset, but it has hired thousands of workers in a division called Technology Design Group, which works on virtual reality and augmented reality technology.
