#LINEIN FOR MAC PRO#

Similar to how iOS powers the iPhone and macOS powers the Mac, xrOS is what will power Apple’s long-awaited Reality Pro headset. XrOS will be how users and developers of the Reality Pro headset interact with the device. There’s still a chance that the company opts for something like “realityOS,” but as it stands right now, all signs point to xrOS being the company’s final choice. The Reality Pro headset itself, for instance, will reportedly have outward-facing cameras to allow users to see around them.Īpple has registered various different trademarks for xrOS around the world in the lead-up to the Reality Pro headset’s announcement.

XrOS is believed to stand for “extended reality,” which aligns with Apple’s goals that the headset does not completely cut people off from the outside world. Sometime late last year, however, it rebranded the name to xrOS as it inched closer to the public release. What does xrOS mean?Īccording to Bloomberg, Apple initially referred to the software for its Reality Pro headset as realityOS. XrOS will include a number of revolutionary features for the Reality Pro headset, such as immersive media consumption, macOS integration, and more. This software will reportedly be called xrOS, and it marks Apple’s first major new software platform since it unveiled watchOS for the Apple Watch. Alongside the actual hardware for the so-called “Reality Pro” headset, however, Apple will also announce the product’s underlying software platform. At WWDC next week, Apple is expected to announce its highly anticipated headset with virtual reality and augmented reality features.
