VR book readers

2023. Sol Reader - VR headset exclusively for reading books



Unlike the recently released Apple Vision, the new Sol Reader headset isn't designed to provide a fully immersive virtual reality experience. Its purpose is quite the opposite: to help you focus solely on the book you're reading. The device has a simple, eyeglass-like design. Its primary function is to eliminate distractions while you read. By setting a timer and holding the book to your face, you can fully immerse yourself in the reading experience. The device is already available for pre-order for $350. It comes in a variety of colors and has a pair of edge-lit e-ink displays, similar to those found in Kindle. The glasses also include a remote control (for turning pages) and charger. A single charge provides approximately 25 hours of reading time.


2023. Apple to bring books to virtual reality



According to Bloomberg's tech reporter, Mark Gurman, who has a proven track record of accurately reporting on Apple's product plans, Apple is developing a version of Apple Books that can be used on their upcoming Apple VR headset, allowing users to read books in a virtual reality environment. The headset is also expected to be compatible with other Apple products such as iPhones and iPads, making it convenient for users to switch between devices and access their favorite content. Apple has not confirmed the leaked information and more details about the VR headset may be revealed at WWDC 2023. It is possible that the features mentioned in Gurman's article may not be included at Apple VR launch and may not be announced this year.
