the Apple Watch or even MacBooks, which makes the Californian company
their biggest customer.
Leung, the vice president of Quanta, shared with the Nikkei newspaper
some details about his new project, namely that it is "a
type of helmet with a transparent lens or visor that allows
users to see through and interact with the environment."
However, we know Apple's interest in augmented reality with
ARKit, but also through the voice of its leader, Tim Cook, who
has repeatedly stated that augmented reality is much more
interesting than virtual reality.
However, since Leung did not mention Apple, it is possible that the firm
of Cupertino is not linked to this project, but it remains a possibility.

According to him, the technology is not yet ready to create such a product,
while arguing that Apple does not have the aim of being the first to release a
new type of product, but prefers to move towards the most successful product
possible.
