Apple's foundry Quanta new breakthrough future AR headlines are expected to appear parity

Apple and Cook are very optimistic about the augmented reality market, in the iPhone X mobile phone, augmented reality features become a major highlight of differentiation, and Apple is also developing augmented reality helmets. According to the latest news from foreign media, Apple's veteran foundry Quanta Computer recently signed a camera production agreement with other manufacturers. Foreign media pointed out that Quanta’s cooperation also laid the foundation for Apple’s launch of augmented reality helmets in the future. It is able to reduce the listing price of helmets.

Quanta Computer is Apple's old foundry, but the company does not produce hot products such as the iPhone, but includes Apple Watch, Apple's notebook, in the past also produced tablet computers.

According to Bloomberg News, Quanta recently signed a cooperation agreement with augmented reality parts manufacturer Lumus. Quanta will obtain the relevant technology license to produce lenses for augmented reality helmets for the other party, but Quanta has also produced this for other customers. Parts options.

It is reported that last year, Quanta had invested 45 million US dollars in this company.

A high-level Lumus company said that through this cooperation, it means that the most critical part of augmented reality hardware can further reduce the price and reach the popularization level, which will also reduce the overall price of AR glasses.

The senior executive stated that Quanta Computer has stated that the overall price of augmented reality hardware will be lower than that of a high-end smart phone, which is of great significance.

However, whether the cooperation between the two parties is directly related to Apple has not yet been confirmed. According to the agreement, in the next 12 to 18 months, Quanta will provide these parts to each other.

Among Apple’s foundries, Foxconn Group, Heshuo Technology, and Wistron Group focused on Apple’s mobile phones. In the production of iPhone X mobile phones this year, Foxconn encountered many technical problems, resulting in insufficient production. Obviously these foundries may not have more energy and resources to help Apple develop and manufacture augmented reality helmets.

In November, Bloomberg reported that Apple is ready to launch an augmented reality hardware, specifically a helmet or a smaller eyeglass, which is still unknown, and Apple hopes to have all the technology in 2019.

It is reported that Apple's internal development code for this hardware is "T288", running an operating system called "rOS", which is actually the acronym for "realistic operating system."

In terms of user control, this hardware will use various modes, such as gesture control, Siri voice input, or touch screen control.

The iPhone is Apple's most core electronic product. It is still unclear whether Apple's augmented reality helmet is used as a completely independent hardware device or as an accessory device for the iPhone. It is supported by mobile phones in terms of games and content.

It is reported that Quanta Computer is currently developing various AR technologies and is expected to mature in 2019.

As smartphones move toward the same level of assimility, Apple and Cook have come up with a new approach as a different selling point for their mobile phones, which is to enhance display capabilities. In "Pokemon GO" mobile games, Nintendo of Japan conducted an augmented reality application education to consumers all over the world, and Apple is preparing to carry forward its education.

In the iPhone X, Apple is equipped with a three-position recognition sensor, which can create a digital model of the surrounding objects and space, allowing third-party developers to overlay the game or just virtual content into the real scene. So far, this is an exclusive feature of Apple's mobile phone.

In fact, many years ago the media reported that Apple is working with some partners to develop augmented reality glasses or helmets. However, Cooke told the media not long ago that currently available technology cannot yet launch a helmet with a good user experience, which is indirectly confirmed. According to reports from the outside world, Apple is still in the development stage and will be able to launch products in the next few years.

It should be pointed out that Apple's development of new electronic products cannot be separated from the large-scale assistance and cooperation of the foundry. Previously, it was reported that in the iPhone X's wireless charging function, related modules were developed by Foxconn Group companies. In product development, Apple's team pays more attention to software systems, user interfaces, and overall industrial design. Component technologies rely on foundries and suppliers.
