No Metaverse? No Problem, Says the Sandbox COO on Apple's VR Headset Launch
Though Apple didn’t mention metaverse in their launch, The Sandbox’s Sebastien Borget said it will still onboard more users to digital worlds.
“This is groundbreaking,” said Sebastien Borget, Chief Operations Officer for The Sandbox, regarding the new Apple VisionPro Augmented Reality Headset.
At this year’s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference ( WWDC2023 ), the tech giant unveiled its most recent device: the Apple VisionPro. Set to launch in 2024, it is a mixed reality (MR) headset, combining virtual reality (VR) with augmented reality (AR).
Despite the high price point–$3,499–it’s earned high praise from the crypto metaverse exec.
Borget told Decrypt at this year’s NFC Lisbon event that Apple is “redefining” the MR category, and that the device holds the “most promise in terms of technological capabilities.”
