The Hindu
Apple’s mixed-reality headset has been rumoured for years now, and is expected to be focused on “Pro” users
Apple is continuing to hire engineers for teams working on its AR and VR technology ahead of the launch of its mixed-reality headset in 2023, a report from Bloomberg said.

Development of the first version of the OS, codenamed ”Oak”, for the mixed-reality headset, “is wrapping up internally” the report shared.
Apple is searching for a software producer to create digital content for the headset and is also looking to build a video service featuring 3D content for it.
The company is also looking to bring third-party apps for the mixed-reality headset, and is hiring engineers to work on tools for connected experiences in a 3D mixed-reality world.
Apple has also recruited Dave Scott, a former senior manager at the company working who worked on the self-driving car team and later headed a healthcare startup. His work in medical and robotics technology suggests that headset might feature some health applications, the report said.
Earlier this year, a report emerged that Apple intends to slow hiring and spending growth next year in a bid to cope with potential economic downturn.

The silent reading movement in the Mylapore-Mandaveli-RA Puram area showed up first at Nageswara Rao Park around two years ago, with modest ambitions, when Balaji launched it along with other reading enthusiasts from the region. This initiative has now moved parks, and seems to set to get entrenched in one. Due to renovation work at Nageswara Park, the reading session became irregular. With the Nageswara Rao park work gaining more surface area, it had to be shifted elsewhere. And it seems set to continue with a newly discovered green patch in RK Nagar in the Sundays to follow.
