Allegedly, the headset will allow users to experience both virtual and augmented reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parker Ortolani recently spotted a trademark application for RealityOS. The trademark was registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on December 8, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although a few references to RealityOS have been found on Apple software, the company hasn&#8217;t officially trademarked the name.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trademark was filed under a company named <a href=\"https:\/\/trademarks.justia.com\/971\/63\/realityos-97163139.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Realityo Systems LLC<\/a>. The company is based in Delaware, US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Big companies often apply for trademarks under smaller unknown company names. This is very common with Apple because of its love for anonymity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-05-19\/apple-shows-headset-to-board-in-sign-it-s-reached-advanced-stage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bloomberg reported <\/a>that Apple&#8217;s board of directors had tested the headset. This and the trademark application fuel the rumors of the reality headset&#8217;s release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Board members testing a new product is a common step before the product is released, so you might be seeing Apple&#8217;s headset sooner than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AR\/VR headset was initially scheduled to release in 2022, but it faced a few setbacks because of development issues. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-05-19\/apple-shows-headset-to-board-in-sign-it-s-reached-advanced-stage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a>, Apple will likely release the headset in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the trademark document leaked by Ortolani, the headset is linked to the following categories; \u201csoftware,\u201d&nbsp; \u201cperipherals,\u201d and \u201cwearable computer hardware.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/5\/30\/23147213\/realityos-os-ros-trademark-apple-virtual-augmented-reality-headset\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">document mentions<\/a> the \u201cdesign and development of computer hardware, software, peripherals, and computer and video games.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This wouldn&#8217;t be the first time Apple has used a shell company to register a trademark. Apple used a company called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/trademarks.justia.com\/owners\/yosemite-research-llc-2759114\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yosemite Research LLC<\/a>&#8221; to register future macOS names like Yosemite and Big Sur.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This company was also used to register Monterey in 2021. It was later discovered that the official name of the updated macOS was Monterey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another &#8220;coincidence&#8221; that ties RealityOS to Apple is that Yosemite Research LLC and Realityo Systems LLC are registered at <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2022\/05\/29\/realityos-trademark-related-to-apple-ar-vr-headset\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the same address<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The news of this trademark and the upcoming Apple conference hints at the possibility of Apple announcing the new headset during the conference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WWDC, Apple&#8217;s annual developer conference, will be held on June 6th and the deadline for \u201cinternational filing\u201d of the trademark is on June 8th.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether we will see the headset at WWDC is still unknown, but several factors indicate that it&#8217;ll soon be released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@nchiamori?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Niccol\u00f2 Chiamori<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/apple-logo?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rumors about Apple&#8216;s mixed reality headset have been around for a while now, and a recent trademark application might just confirm these rumors.&nbsp; Way back in 2017, it was rumored that Apple was developing a virtual and augmented reality headset that would be called RealityOS.&nbsp; For years developers and non-developers alike have speculated about<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":51594,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10564],"tags":[7330],"class_list":["post-51593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tech-2","tag-apple-en-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
