While virtual reality immerses the user in a digital world, augmented reality overlays images and data on the real one. “Put simply, we believe AR is going to change the way we use technology forever.” Apple declined to comment. The new operating system, internally dubbed “rOS” for “reality operating system,” is based on iOS, the iPhone’s operating system. Just as tvOS powers the Apple TV, macOS runs on Macs and watchOS runs on Apple Watches, “rOS” will power Apple’s AR headset. The tools will also make it easier to create AR games for multiple players.
