Apple is reportedly planning to provide some developers and attendees with an opportunity to try out the new AR/VR headset (mixed reality) at its WWDC 2023.
 


At its 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple is purportedly going to give certain developers and guests the chance to test out the new AR/VR headgear (mixed reality). According to media reports, the business constructed a special "structure" at the "Apple Park" site that is intended to offer regulated hands-on headset demonstrations.

After the presentation, hardware demos will also be available in a hands-on section in the Steve Jobs Theatre, according to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg. In addition to headset creation, he wrote, "It sounds like Apple will also have a hands-on area in the Steve Jobs Theatre - open to developers - for after the keynote."
