With the 33rd annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) slated to begin on June 6, Apple has disclosed four software versions that are currently in development: OS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS Monterey, and watchOS 8. But that isn’t the most intriguing part.
An augmented reality mode can be activated, according to MacRumors, an eager reporter of Apple’s inventions and growth. By clicking the Memoji characters, you can claim three trading card characters.
Memoji Characters have evolved into a key component of Apple’s consumer branding strategy, and the company has fully embraced the cultural significance of memes and mascot brand marketing.
The cards in question are likely to be used as Web2 elements at the next Worldwide Developers Conference, with the sole goal of collecting them because they have no intrinsic or trade value.
Despite this, the non-fungible token (NFT) community has speculated on Apple NFTs’ future possibilities, as its Easter egg feature is strikingly similar to avatars from RTFKT Studio’s CloneX and Gary Vaynerchuk’s VeeFriends Series 2.
During Apple’s Q1 2022 earnings call, CEO Tim Cook stated his optimism for the societal adoption of augmented reality and metaverse technologies, highlighting the company’s plans to spend proportionally in the burgeoning area.
Apple had planned to unveil its mixed-reality headset, which includes both virtual and augmented capabilities, at the Worldwide Developers Conference, but that now appears doubtful after a few technical snags during the development phase.
RealityOS, which is expected to be the operating software for the mixed-reality headset, was just trademarked by the business.
