Apple’s virtual reality headset is one of the most anticipated devices of this year and according to several sources, Siri will play a vital role in the operation of this new viewer. As we already told you yesterday, when we talk about what the leaks say about iOS 17, it seems that an important part of the news of those from Cupertino for this year 2023 will be directly or indirectly related to the viewer that they have been talking about for quite a few years and that would it could finally be announced in June, during WWDC 2023.

When talk of a Metaverse began in 2021, Apple was quick to point out that it didn’t have one, which was reinforced by Tim Cook’s statement last October that there was no clear definition. There’s no need to debate what the company said on both occasions, but what’s important isn’t so much what it says as what it doesn’t say, and in this case it refrains from saying that it intends to create as closed an ecosystem with the virtual reality viewer as Apple Watch or Apple TV.

No one will be surprised, right? It’s a house brand for many of its product lines, although it’s true that regulations could soon end with the iPhone. For Apple, a closed ecosystem is synonymous with a safe, coherent and convenient experience, yes, but also the use of everything that happens in it, i.e. that everything that happens on the platform only happens when they agree.

Of course, this means that they face a significant risk, a lack of interesting content for users. And of course, no matter how advanced its technology is, if there are no applications and games that allow you to take advantage of it, what is the point of getting a viewer? Well, according to what we can read in The Verge, it looks like Apple is working on an interesting solution so that Siri can create virtual reality applications based on the requests of its users.

Of course, we are not talking about complex applications, but we are talking about developments that can be interesting and complete enough for their creators to offer them to other users through the App Store for a specific platform. In addition, this way, it will be the users themselves who “work” (or get Siri working) to quickly fill the shelves of the apple store, because otherwise it seems likely that the supply will be quite scarce in the first months.

For the ending the company will rely on Fabric Software technologya Canadian company bought by Apple in 2017, a development capable of creating objects and environments in a procedural way that avoids repetition of content, environments, models, etc. Apple also bought DigitalRune in 2016, which tried to facilitate the development of 3D games, so it makes a lot of sense to expect , that technology from him will be integrated into this new Siri flagship.
