Apple's intention to develop AR technology has become a secret in the scientific community, and AR devices are even thought to be likely to replace the iphone as Apple's new generation star product. Apple's $30 million acquisition of the Canadian AR Vrvana has been a major concern in the technology's seamless fusion between AR and VR. According to BGR and investor Place reports, the Vrvana of the unlisted AR head-wearing device totem technology features, in addition to the seamless fusion between AR and VR conversion, the device forward to the camera to capture the real image to the user's immediate delay time of only 3 milliseconds. In contrast, Microsoft's Mr Device HoloLens has an image latency of about 16 milliseconds, while the VR device ancestor Oculus Rift has 20 milliseconds. Investor Place said that the image delay time of the virtual image device will affect the wearer's immersion experience, the shorter the delay time, in addition, the image delay problem will also affect the wearer's sensory ability, and thus cause dizziness discomfort sequelae. Vrvana's imaging technology is also characterized by its ability to cover completely opaque full-color animations on real external images, which is the key technology for seamless fusion between AR and VR, while the HoloLens imaging technique only casts images of virtual objects in real images, But its disadvantage is that it cannot display the black pigment of the object. However, Totem's exterior is still a common giant head-wearing device, and the emphasis on product design may be difficult for Apple to accept such mediocre design. But if Apple's product development process in recent years, the acquisition and new creation is its technology breakthrough important means, such as Apple in the development of face recognition technology to buy and Primsense. BGR Fine count Apple for AR technology acquisition and object, including the following new creation: SM, Flyby Media, Metaio, Emotioent, Faceshift and so on. Now that Apple buys and Vrvana may also be the key to completing the AR product, especially after Apple has launched iOS Arkit, the application of resources on the early layout, if the AR technology breakthrough, for the iphone on the application of AR, or even rumors of 2020 years ago, such as the introduction of AR smart glasses, should be helpful.
