Apple Expected to Announce New AR/VR Headset

Appleā€™s newest project, an AR/VR headset, is expected to be announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June.

Tim Cook said Apple plans to "greatly enhance peopleā€™s communicationā€ in an interview with GQ earlier this month. Although with over 22 million Meta headsets in the wild, Apple may have a hard time competing against the giant.

After releasing in December, this game has been visited 9 million times, but still falls for some of the most common mistakes brands make with their Roblox games.

The leak has since been fixed, but itā€™s the first example of metaverse technologies being used to create a real-world threat. Read more about the scale of this leak below.

What Everyone Else is Saying

Why Digital Babel? Babel plays a role in the novel Snow Crash, where there was a theory that language is just code and that Babel was a real historical event. This coincided with the vanishing of the Sumerian language, and afterward, languages tended toward divergence rather than convergence. We may not all like the term ā€˜Metaverseā€™ but we need to give Snow Crash its due.
