Apple also has registered trademarks such as Reality One, Reality Pro, and Reality Processor.

The first version of the headset is expected to be unveiled at WWDC in June, and the device will go on sale later this year.

Due to its superior hardware, the headset is expected to cost around US$3,000. A $1,500 version will be released in the future.
