Tim Cook said that people will wonder how they led a life without augmented reality, and that it will have a profound impact on the future.
Cook sat down for a Q&A with students at the university after he was awarded an Honorary Degree in innovation and international management. Cook said that artificial intelligence will touch everything in our lives and that Apple is working on many other things.
Cook was excited for augmented reality. Cook believes that augmented reality's impact on the world will be as great as the internet's impact. Cook's full comment on the subject is not publicly known because the live stream of the Q&A session abruptly cut.
I'm super excited about augmented reality. Because I think that we've had a great conversation here today, but if we could augment that with something from the virtual world, it would have arguably been even better. So I think that if you, and this will happen clearly not too long from now, if you look back at a point in time, you know, zoom out to the future and look back, you'll wonder how you led your life without augmented reality. Just like today, we wonder, how did people like me grow up without the internet. And so I think it could be that profound, and it's not going to be profound overnight...
Cook has said in the past that he is excited about augmented reality, and that Apple is working on it. A high-end headset rumored to be called Reality Pro is expected to be announced in January. The headset is Apple's first major new product since the introduction of the Apple Watch.
Two 4K micro-OLED displays, 15 optical modules, two main processors, and eye tracking are rumored to be features of "Reality Pro". The realityOS operating system will run on the headset. A more affordable option is rumored to be in the works.
