Note that "mixed reality" is AR and not VR. In other words, overlaying 3D onto a camera feed.

Apple has previously indicated their interest in this direction.

It will be interesting to see how they compete, here. Apple is going entirely their own way - they don't even support the most basic AR/VR standards (like OpenXR). Their headset is likely to retail at 2-3x the price of their competitors and their software library is likely to be filled with things nobody has ever heard about.

What is Apple hoping for here? It sounds like they're trying to sell people a Metaverse-a-la-iPhone, but it's stuck in development hell.
