Demand for Decentraland’s MANA token and The Sandbox’s SAND token increased as a result of the news about Apple’s new mixed-reality VR headset. We now know a lot more about the exciting new technology from Apple.
Apple seems to be getting ready for its big entry into the metaverse. Bloomberg provided information regarding Apple’s brand-new mixed-reality virtual reality headset, which may further amplify the market’s impact.
The price of Decentraland’s MANA token shot up to $7.80 USD just a few days ago in response to news of Apple’s mixed reality VR headset. Additionally, on January 21st, SAND surged to $0.83 USD.
The price of MANA has increased by 135% in the past month to 4.70 USD. The price of SAND currently stands at 0.76 USD, a 69% increase over the previous month. However, brand-new information about Apple’s VR headset demonstrates that it was designed specifically for the metaverse. Apple is taking steps to challenge Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, as we predicted in November.
Time will tell how the market will react to this latest revelation.
How does the VR device from Apple works?
The interface of the mixed reality headset from Apple will be “like iOS” and will include “many functions” that are available on the iPhone and iPad.
Eye and hand tracking will also be possible thanks to Apple’s use of external cameras that can look at a user’s hands and eyes. In addition, users will be able to use gestures to activate items displayed on the screen to control the headset. As a result, the revolutionary technology will no longer require a physical controller.
The headset will be able to switch between virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), which is crucial. You will be able to manipulate virtual objects in the real world with augmented reality. On the other hand, a completely immersive virtual environment will be provided by virtual reality.
Meta’s Quest headset appears to be directly challenged by Apple. Apple’s technology, like Meta’s, will concentrate on making engaging video conferencing features available. Meeting rooms and FaceTime-based video chatting, for instance, are available to the user. In addition, for interactive meetings, a user’s entire body and face will be rendered in virtual reality.
What does this mean for the metaverse?
We know that this headset will probably be called “Apple Reality” because a trademark application was made in August. In addition, we can infer that Meta and Apple are engaged in a titanic struggle for metaverse supremacy.
This revolutionary mixed-reality virtual reality (VR) headset is extremely revealing, despite Apple’s secrecy regarding its plans.
It doesn’t seem like a big deal that the new Apple headset could be used in a large virtual world like Decentraland or The Sandbox in the future.
