Apple’s Long-Awaited Next Big Thing Is Nearly Here at Last
On Monday, the company hopes to do it all over again — this time with its first mixed-reality headset. While no product will ever live up to the iPhone, the headset has the potential to usher in a new era: It could kick off the shift to a different interface that upends how people work, play games and entertain themselves.
It’s also a risky endeavor that could backfire for $Apple(AAPL.US$ . Mixed-reality headsets are still a nascent field, and many people are hesitant to wear a computer on their face. The Apple device also will have design quirks, such as an external battery pack, and a price tag of roughly $3,000. Moreover, it may not have a “killer app” when it launches.
