This comes from DigiTimes via MacRumours, so take it with a pinch of salt if you must. It\u2019s a very left-field suggestion though,\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Apple has been rumoured to be developing its own AR headset for some time now, while Valve has obviously made significant in-roads into VR through the HTC Vive and its own Valve Index VR headset. In this sense, the two partnering up is a fairly logical manoeuvre.<\/p>\n<p>There are still a lot of questions marks over the mainstream appeal and practicality of AR headsets but there\u2019s going on in this area that eventually someone\u2019s going to crack the market.<\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>However, when we look at the Valve Index and just about anything Apple makes, whatever this AR headset is, it probably isn\u2019t going to be cheap. Think, sell a kidney expensive, that sort of level.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your eyes peeled then because 2020 could shape up to be an interesting year for both Valve and Apple if they\u2019re thinking about diversifying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a strange one considering how long Apple and Valve were at loggerheads while&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1939,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1262,1263,480,1110,590],"class_list":["post-1938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-apple","tag-headset","tag-rumour","tag-teaming","tag-valve"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
