CNET reports that Apple is working on a virtual reality device that also offers the benefits of augmented reality to create a unique immersive experience.

The arrival of this virtual reality device from Apple could occur next year 2020, something that corroborates a previous report by Bloomberg that indicates the same year of publication. A combined 16K screen resolution would take the VR experience to the next level, as most devices today barely reach 2K resolution for each eye, and most require a phone or PC to function.

This new Apple headset will be supported by an external box to work, in a similar way as Sony's PSVRs do, although in the case of the Apple device, communication will be done wirelessly to offer a cable-free experience, which will improve the comfort of use. What do you expect from this new virtual reality headset from Apple?
