Virtual Reality is the future and it is all set to cause a digital revolution in the coming years. Virtual Reality companies have already set their intentions straight and they are here to stay. With Facebook buying Virtual Reality Company Oculus for $2 billion, it’s easy to understand the amount of importance the tech world is giving to Virtual Reality. Apple has always been a pioneer of technological innovations and in this case too, they are not going to stay behind. Gene Munster who works as an analyst in Piper Jaffray has said that Apple has ambitious plans regarding incorporating VR in their devices. In the next couple of years, the company will launch some Virtual Reality products which work on the iOS platform.

This is a huge announcement, as it will have many implications. Both augmented as well as Virtual Realities are trending topics and many innovations are in store, which will amaze users around the world. Apple has not made any formal announcements regarding such a move but Munster has carefully analyzed Apple’s latest purchases and recruitment details. They are planning on building a “mixed reality” ecosystem, which is supported by iOS and if things go according to plan, it can be officially unveiled in 2018. Munster also pointed out that a minimum of 141 employees of Apple have an AR background, while the number is 425 for Microsoft and 267 for Google. “Mixed reality” is extremely engaging as the wearable devices have cameras embed in them and the sensors are capable of merging holographic imagery and real life items.

Apple has been interested in things related to Virtual Reality only recently though, as they filed multiple patents. Products like Virtual interfaces capable on sensing motion, video goggles are in the list. It must be noted that Doug Bowman who is a well renowned Virtual Reality expert was hired by Apple last month. So what’s the main idea behind this? The connected generation will find Virtual reality more appealing than reality itself and it is better to invest in these products to sustain in the future tech market.
