2023. Sol Reader - VR headset exclusively for reading books

In a galaxy of gadgets where everything screams to dazzle, distract, and discombobulate, the Sol Reader has quietly entered the scene with the sole ambition of being gloriously, magnificently underwhelming—in the best possible way. Unlike the Apple Vision, which might whisk you off to fully immersive realms of virtual hullabaloo, the Sol Reader just wants you to read. That’s it. It’s like wearing a tiny literary butler on your face, politely keeping the world at bay while you delve into your book. With the aesthetic simplicity of glasses, this $350 pre-orderable marvel features e-ink displays (think Kindle, but cooler), side lighting for nocturnal narratives, and a remote control for when your arms simply can’t be bothered. With a battery life of 25 hours per charge, it won’t nag you often for attention, leaving you and your book in a blissful tête-à-tête. Also, it comes in various colors—because even minimalists like a splash of pizzazz now and then.
2023. Apple to bring books to virtual reality

According to Bloomberg’s tech oracle, Mark Gurman, whose uncanny knack for predicting Apple’s every twitch and sneeze has become the stuff of Silicon Valley folklore, Apple is apparently cooking up a version of Apple Books designed for their impending Apple VR headset. Yes, that’s right—a headset so advanced you could read War and Peace in virtual reality while pretending to sit in Tolstoy’s study. Seamlessly tying itself to the Apple ecosystem (because of course it does), the device will allegedly buddy up with your iPhones and iPads, making the leap between realities as smooth as swiping a screen. Naturally, Apple, in its usual cloak-and-dagger fashion, hasn’t said a peep about these leaks, so don’t go reserving your virtual bookshelf just yet. And in true Apple style, even if Gurman’s tidbits are spot-on, some features might vanish into the ether, possibly taking the scenic route to existence—if they ever materialize at all.
