Apple appears poised to unveil a long-rumored headset that will place its users between the virtual and real world, while also testing the technology trendsetter’s ability to popularize new-fangled devices after others failed to capture the public’s imagination.
After years of speculation, the stage is set for the widely anticipated announcement to be made Monday at Apple’s annual developers conference in a Cupertino, California, theater named after the company’s late co-founder Steve Jobs. Apple is also likely to use the event to show off its latest Mac computer, preview the next operating system for the iPhone and discuss its strategy for artificial intelligence.
But the star of the show is expected to be a pair of goggles — perhaps called “Reality Pro,” according to media leaks — that could become another milestone in Apple’s lore of releasing game-changing technology, even though the company hasn’t always been the first to try its hand at making a particular device.
Apple’s lineage of breakthroughs date back to a bow-tied Jobs peddling the first Mac in 1984 —a tradition that continued with the iPod in 2001, the iPhone in 2007, the iPad in 2010, the Apple Watch in 2014 and its AirPods in 2016.
But with a hefty price tag that could be in the $3,000 range, Apple’s new headset may also be greeted with a lukewarm reception from all but affluent technophiles.
If the new device turns out to be a niche product, it would leave Apple in the same bind as other major tech companies and startups that have tried selling headsets or glasses equipped with technology that either thrusts people into artificial worlds or projects digital images with scenery and things that are actually in front of them — a format known as “augmented reality.”
Apple’s goggles are expected be sleekly designed and capable of toggling between totally virtual or augmented options, a blend sometimes known as “mixed reality.” That flexibility also is sometimes called external reality, or XR for shorthand.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has been describing these alternate three-dimensional realities as the “metaverse.” It’s a geeky concept that he tried to push into the mainstream by changing the name of his social networking company to Meta Platforms in 2021 and then pouring billions of dollars into improving the virtual technology.
But the metaverse largely remains a digital ghost town, although Meta’s virtual reality headset, the Quest, remains the top-selling device in a category that so far has mostly appealed to video game players looking for even more immersive experiences.
Apple executives seem likely to avoid referring to the metaverse, given the skepticism that has quickly developed around that term, when they discuss the potential of the company’s new headset.
In recent years, Apple CEO Tim Cook has periodically touted augmented reality as technology’s next quantum leap, while not setting a specific timeline for when it will gain mass appeal.
“If you look back in a point in time, you know, zoom out to the future and look back, you’ll wonder how you led your life without augmented reality,” Cook, who is 62, said last September while speaking to an audience of students in Italy. “Just like today you wonder how did people like me grow up without the internet. You know, so I think it could be that profound. And it’s not going to be profound overnight.”
The response to virtual, augmented and mixed reality has been decidedly ho-hum so far. Some of the gadgets deploying the technology have even been derisively mocked, with the most notable example being Google’s internet-connected glasses released more than a decade ago.
After Google co-founder Sergey Brin initially drummed up excitement about the device by demonstrating an early model’s potential “wow factor” with a skydiving stunt staged during a San Francisco tech conference, consumers quickly became turned off to a product that allowed its users to surreptitiously take pictures and video. The backlash became so intense that people who wore the gear became known as “Glassholes,” leading Google to withdraw the product a few years after its debut.
Magic Leap, a startup that stirred excitement with previews of a mixed-reality technology that could conjure the spectacle of a whale breaching through a gymnasium floor, had so much trouble marketing its first headset to consumers in 2018 that it has since shifted its focus to industrial, healthcare and emergency uses.
Daniel Diez, Magic Leap’s chief transformation officer, said there are four major questions Apple’s goggles will have to answer: “What can people do with it? What does this thing look and feel like? Is it comfortable to wear? And how much is it going to cost?”
The anticipation that Apple’s goggles are going to sell for several thousand dollars already has dampened expectations for the product. Although he expects Apple’s goggles to boast “jaw dropping” technology, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said he expects the company to sell just 150,000 units during the device’s first year on the market — a mere speck in the company’s portfolio. By comparison, Apple sells more than 200 million iPhones, its marquee product a year. But the iPhone wasn’t an immediate sensation, with sales of fewer than 12 million units in its first full year on the market.
In a move apparently aimed at magnifying the expected price of Apple’s goggles, Zuckerberg made a point of saying last week that the next Quest headset will sell for $500, an announcement made four months before Meta Platform plans to showcase the latest device at its tech conference.
Since 2016, the average annual shipments of virtual- and augmented-reality devices have averaged 8.6 million units, according to the research firm CCS Insight. The firm expects sales to remain sluggish this year, with a sales projection of about 11 million of the devices before gradually climbing to 67 million in 2026.
But those forecasts were obviously made before it’s known whether Apple might be releasing a product that alters the landscape.
“I would never count out Apple, especially with the consumer market and especially when it comes to finding those killer applications and solutions,” Magic Leap’s Diez said. “If someone is going to crack the consumer market early, I wouldn’t be surprised it would be Apple.”

If Apple unveils a widely anticipated headset equipped with mixed reality technology at the theater on Monday, it will be the company’s biggest new product since the introduction of the Apple Watch nearly a decade ago.(AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File)
TALISAY, Batangas. Sinubaybayan ng Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) ang pagtaas ng degassing activity ng bulkang Taal simula kahapon, Sabado ng gabi, sa pamamagitan ng nakikitang pagbuga ng volcanic fluids.
Sa isang abiso kahapon, sinabi ng Phivolcs na “ang mga fluids sa pangunahing lawa ng bulkan ay nagresulta sa malalaking pagsabog ng steam na umaabot sa 3,000 metro pataas mula sa Taal Volcano Island (TVI).
Bilang resulta nito, nakita ang volcanic smog o “vog” sa ibabaw ng caldera ng Taal, na iniulat ng mga residente ng mga bayan na nakapaligid sa lawa, kabilang ang Balete, Laurel, at Agoncillo. Inaasahang magkaroon din ng acid rain sa mga lugar kung saan makapal ang usok, na maaaring makasira sa mga pananim at makaapekto sa mga metal na bubong ng mga bahay at gusali.
Ayon sa Phivolcs, mayroon ding paglakas ng paglabas ng volcanic sulfur dioxide gas mula sa pangunahing lawa ng bulkan na naitala noong Hunyo 1, na umaabot sa 5,831 tonelada bawat araw, na mas mataas kaysa sa nakaraang buwan na mayroon lamang pangkaraniwang 3,356 tonelada bawat araw.
Paalala ng Phivolcs, dapat maging maingat ang mga komunidad na vulnerable sa epekto ng vog, lalo na ang mga nakatatanda, buntis, mga bata, at ang mga may sakit na gaya ng hika, sakit sa baga, at sakit sa puso.
Hinikayat ang mga tao sa mga apektadong lugar na manatili sa loob ng bahay at isara ang mga pinto at bintana upang pigilan ang pagpasok ng vog.
Babala ng Phivolcs na bagaman nananatiling nasa Alert Level 1 ang bulkan ng Taal, “ito ay patuloy pa rin sa hindi normal na kalagayan at hindi dapat ituring na natapos na ang pag aalburuto nito o ang panganib ng pagputok nito.
BALASORE, India. The derailment in eastern India that killed 275 people and injured hundreds was caused by an error in the electronic signaling system that led a train to wrongly change tracks and crash into a freight train, officials said Sunday.
Authorities worked to clear the mangled wreckage of the two passenger trains that derailed Friday night in Balasore district in Odisha state in one of the country’s deadliest rail disasters in decades.
An Odisha government statement revised the death toll to 275 after a top state officer put the number at over 300 on Sunday morning. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
Jaya Verma Sinha, a senior railway official, said the preliminary investigations revealed that a signal was given to the high-speed Coromandel Express to run on the main track line, but the signal later changed, and the train instead entered an adjacent loop line where it rammed into a freight loaded with iron ore.
The collision flipped Coromandel Express’s coaches onto another track, causing the incoming Yesvantpur-Howrah Express from the opposite side also to derail, she said.
The passenger trains, carrying 2,296 people, were not overspeeding, she said. Trains that carry goods are often parked on an adjacent loop line so the main line is clear for a passing train.
Verma said the root cause of the crash was related to an error in the electronic signaling system. She said a detailed investigation will reveal whether the error was human or technical.
The electronic interlocking system is a safety mechanism designed to prevent conflicting movements between trains. It also monitors the status of signals that tell drivers how close they are to a next train, how fast they can go and the presence of stationary trains on the track.
“The system is 99.9% error free. But 0.1% chances are always there for an error,” Verma said. To a question whether the crash could be a case of sabotage, she said “nothing is ruled out.”
On Sunday, a few shattered carriages, mangled and overturned, were the only remnants of the tragedy. Railway workers toiled under the sun’s glare to lay down blocks of cement to fix the broken tracks. A crew with excavators was removing mud and the debris to clear the crash site.
At one of the hospitals nearly 15 kilometers (9 miles) from the site, survivors spoke of the horror of the moment of the crash.
Pantry worker Inder Mahato could not remember the exact sequence of events, but said he heard a loud bang when the Coromandel Express crashed into the freight. The impact caused Mahato, who was in the bathroom, to briefly lose consciousness
Moments later when he opened his eyes, he saw through the door that was forced open people writhing in pain, many of them already dead. Others were frantically trying to get out from the twisted wreckage of his rail car.
For hours, Mahato, 37, remained stuck in the train’s bathroom, before rescuers scaled up the wreckage and pulled him out.
“God saved me,” he said, lying on the hospital bed while recuperating from a hairline fracture in his sternum. “I am very lucky I am alive.”
Mahato’s friends weren’t so lucky. Four of them died in the crash, he said.
Meanwhile, many desperate relatives were struggling to identify the bodies of their loved ones because of the gruesomeness of the injuries. Few others were searching hospitals to check whether their relatives were alive.
In the same hospital where Mahato was recovering from his injuries, Bulti Khatun roamed outside the premises in a dazed state, holding an identity card of her husband who was onboard the Coromandel Express and traveling to southern Chennai city.
Khatun said she visited the morgue and other hospitals to look for him, but was unable to find him.
“I am so helpless,” she said, sobbing.
Fifteen bodies were recovered on Saturday evening and efforts continued overnight with heavy cranes being used to remove an engine that settled on top of a rail car. No bodies were found in the engine and the work was completed on Sunday morning, said Sudhanshu Sarangi, director-general of fire and emergency services in Odisha.
The crash occurred at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is focusing on the modernization of the British colonial-era railroad network in India, which has become the world’s most populous country with 1.42 billion people. Despite government efforts to improve safety, several hundred accidents occur every year on India’s railways, the largest train network under one management in the world.
Modi visited the crash site on Saturday and talked to rescue officials. He also visited a hospital to inquire about the injured, and spoke to some of them.
Modi told reporters he felt the pain of the crash victims. He said the government would do its utmost to help them and strictly punish anyone found responsible.
In 1995, two trains collided near New Delhi, killing 358 people in one of the worst rail accidents in India. In 2016, a passenger train slid off the tracks between the cities of Indore and Patna, killing 146 people.
Most such accidents in India are blamed on human error or outdated signaling equipment.
About 22 million people ride 14,000 trains across India every day, traveling on 64,000 kilometers (40,000 miles) of track.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Alabama now has an official state cookie: The Yellowhammer Cookie.
Gov. Kay Ivey on Friday signed legislation naming the confection created by a Montgomery fourth-grader as the official state cookie.
Students at Montgomery’s Trinity Presbyterian School came up with the idea of a state cookie. Fourth-grader Mary Claire Cook submitted the winning recipe, which includes pecans, peanut butter and honey, WSFA-TV reported.
Cook brought a batch of the cookies to Ivey for the bill-signing ceremony.
Nagbabala ang Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) na posibleng pagpasok ang 10 hanggang 15 bagyo sa Pilipinas hanggang Oktubre, isang araw matapos nitong ideklara ang simula ng tag-ulan.
Ayon kay weather specialist Benison Estareja, ang ilan sa mga bagyo ay maaaring mag-landfall partikular sa Luzon at Visayas, ngunit ang iba ay maaaring magpalakas lamang ng habagat o monsoon, lalo na sa kanlurang bahagi ng bansa.
Idinagdag ni Estareja na maaaring magdeklara ang PAGASA ng El Niño phenomenon sa buwang ito o sa Hulyo, ngunit hindi nangangahulugan ito ng pagbaba ng pag-ulan.
Posible pa rinang malalakas na bagyo at pag-ulan sa ikatlong quarter ng taon, at inaasahan na mababawasan ang mga pag-ulan sa pagtatapos ng 2023 at unang quarter ng 2024, ayon sa weather bureau.
Samantala, sinabi rin ni Estareja na habang hindi na binabantayan ng PAGASA ang anumang bagyo, nakakita sila ng isang cloud cluster sa silangan ng Mindanao na posibleng maging low pressure area (LPA) sa loob ng susunod na 48 oras.
“Kapag naging LPA ito, maaaring manatili lamang ito sa ating karagatan sa susunod na dalawa hanggang tatlong araw at posibleng pumasok early next week. Kaya patuloy nating ito ang imo-monitor,” ani Estareja.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A European spacecraft around Mars sent its first livestream from the red planet to Earth on Friday to mark the 20th anniversary of its launch, but rain in Spain interfered at times.
The European Space Agency broadcast the livestream with views courtesy of its Mars Express, launched by a Russian rocket from Kazakhstan in 2003.
It took nearly 17 minutes for each picture to reach Earth, nearly 200 million miles (300 million kilometers) away, and another minute to get through the ground stations.
The transmission was disrupted at times by rainy weather at the deep space-relay antenna in Spain.
Still, enough images made it through to delight the European space officials hosting the hourlong livestream. The initial views showed about one-third of Mars, which gradually grew bigger in the frames before shrinking again as the spacecraft circled the planet. White clouds could clearly be seen in some of the shots.
“If you were currently sitting on board Mars Express … this is what you would be seeing,” said Simon Wood, the mission’s spacecraft operations engineer. “We typically don’t normally get images in this way.”
Pictures and other data usually are stored aboard the spacecraft and later transmitted to Earth, according to Wood, when the spacecraft’s antenna can be pointed this way.
Near real-time footage from so far away is “rather rare,” according to ESA. The agency pointed to the live broadcasts by the Apollo moonwalkers more than a half-century ago and, more recently, live snippets from spacecraft deliberately crashing into the moon and an asteroid.
“These missions were all pretty close to home and others farther away sent perhaps an image or two in near real-time. When it comes to a lengthy livestream from deep space, this is a first,” ESA said in a statement before the event.
The rain on the plains in Spain cut into the number of pictures shown. ESA devoted only an hour to the livestream because it did not want to overload the spacecraft’s batteries.
Mars Express traveled to the red planet with a lander, dubbed Beagle-2, which lost contact with Earth as it attempted to touch down on the Martian surface.
More than a decade later, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured pictures of Beagle-2. Although it made it to the surface, the lander’s solar panels didn’t fully unfurl.
Sta. Rosa City, Laguna. Sa tulong ng malakas na tahol ng aso at dalawang matatandang senior citizens, nabawi mula sa mga kamay ng mga kidnapper ang isang babaeng Chinese na dinukot sa Pasay at dinala sa isang exclusive subdivision sa Sta. Rosa City, Laguna. Nangyari ito dakong ika-8 ng umaga, Huwebes, Mayo 1, 2023.
Ayon sa mga saksi sa pangyayari, nakiusap umano ng tulong ang hubo’t-hubad na biktima sa mga dumaraan. Pinaniniwalaang tumalon siya mula sa ikalawang palapag ng isang semi-mansion sa San Lorenzo Subdivision sa nababnggit na lungsod.
Kinilala ang nasagip na biktima na si Zhang Jia Ning, 24 anyos, tubong Hunan, China; estudyante at residente ng Pink House, Intramuros, Maynila.
Sa salaysay ni Carlos Delaro, isang saksi, narinig daw niya ang pagmamakaawa ng isang babae na nagmumula sa damuhan malapit sa kanyang bahay. Agad siyang lumabas at doon niya natagpuan ang sugatang katawan ng isang babae na Tsino, walang damit at nanginginig sa takot.
Agad kumuha ng damit si Delaro at ipinasuot ito sa biktima. Matapos ay agad siyang tumawag sa mga opisyal ng barangay at pulisya upang humingi ng tulong.
Sa paunti-unting salaysay ng biktima sa mga pulis, sinabi niyang dinukot siya ng mga kidnapper sa isang parking lot sa PITX at mabilis na isinakay sa itim na van. Pagkatapos ay dinala siya sa nasabing subdivision sa Laguna.
Dali-dali namang itinuro ng biktima ang dalawang suspek na tatakas na sana. Kinilala sila na sina Xie Jing Long at Sheng Likun na naharang sa gate ng subdivision.
Ayon sa biktima, hiningian ng ₱10 milyon ng mga suspek ang kanyang mga kaibigan at pamilya. Bukod pa rito, diumano ay pinagsamantalahan siya ng sindikato ang nilimas ang ₱300,000 na laman ng kanyang ATM, kinuha ang kanyang mga alahas, mga branded na bag, 2 iPhone, mga laptop, iba’t ibang currency, at mga imported na sapatos.
Ayon sa mga opisyal ng Bureau of Immigration, isasampa ang mga kasong kidnapping, rape, at robbery laban sa dalawang Chinese na nahuli sa gate ng subdivision.
Ang matapang na pagtugon ng mga netizens at awtoridad sa pangyayaring ito ay nagpapakita ng determinasyon ng bansa na labanan ang mga salbaheng sindikato at pangalagaan ang kaligtasan ng mga residente at turista nito.
Patuloy na isinasagawa ang imbestigasyon upang mangalap ng mahahalagang datos hinggil sa kaso.
Rescuers found no more survivors in the overturned and mangled wreckage of two passenger trains that derailed in eastern India, killing more than 280 people and injuring hundreds in one of the country’s deadliest rail crashes in decades, officials said Saturday.
Chaotic scenes erupted after the derailment on Friday night about 220 kilometers (137 miles) southwest of Kolkata, as rescuers climbed atop the wrecked trains to break open doors and windows using cutting torches.
The death toll rose steadily throughout the night. Scores of bodies, covered by white sheets, lay on the ground near the tracks as locals and rescuers raced to help survivors. Army soldiers and air force helicopters joined the effort.
“By 10 p.m. (on Friday) we were able to rescue the survivors. After that it was about picking up dead bodies,” Sudhanshu Sarangi, director of Odisha state’s fire and emergency department, told The Associated Press. “This is very, very tragic. I have never seen anything like this in my career.”
At least 280 bodies were recovered overnight and into Saturday morning, he said. About 900 people were injured and the cause was under investigation.
The accident occurred at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is focussing on the modernization of the British colonial-era railroad network in India, which has become the world’s most populous country with 1.42 billion. Despite government efforts to improve rail safety, several hundred accidents occur every year on India’s railways, the largest train network under one management in the world.
Modi flew to the site and spent half an hour examining the crash scene. He later left for the Odisha state capital to meet with the injured recuperating in hospitals there.
Modi on Saturday was supposed to inaugurate a high-speed train connecting Goa and Mumbai that is equipped with a collision avoidance system. The event was canceled after Friday’s accident. The trains that derailed that did not have the system.
Amitabh Sharma, a Railroad Ministry spokesperson, said the rescue work was near completion. Rail authorities will start removing the wreckage to repair the track and resume train operations, he said.
About 200 of the severely injured people were transferred to specialty hospitals in other cities in Odisha, said P.K. Jena, the state’s top administrative official. Another 200 were discharged after receiving medical care and the rest were being treated in local hospitals, he added. Scores of people also showed up to donate blood.
“The challenge now is identifying the bodies. Wherever the relatives are able to provide evidence, the bodies are handed over after autopsies. If not identified, maybe we have to go for a DNA test and other protocols,” he said.
Ten to 12 coaches of one train derailed, and debris from some of the mangled coaches fell onto a nearby track, according to Sharma. The debris was hit by another passenger train coming from the opposite direction, causing up to three coaches of the second train to also derail, he added.
A third train carrying freight was also involved, the Press Trust of India reported, but there was no immediate confirmation of that from railroad authorities. PTI said some of the derailed passenger coaches hit cars from the freight train.
The rescue operation was slowed because two train cars were pressed together by the impact of the accident, Jena said.
Officials said 1,200 rescuers worked with 115 ambulances, 50 buses and 45 mobile health units through the night. Saturday was declared as a day of mourning in Odisha.
Villagers said they rushed to the site to evacuate people after hearing a loud sound created by the train coaches going off the tracks.
“The local people really went out on a limb to help us. They not only helped in pulling out people, but retrieved our luggage and got us water,” PTI cited Rupam Banerjee, a survivor, as saying.
Passenger Vandana Kaleda said that people were falling on each other as her coach shook violently and veered off the tracks.
“As I stepped out of the washroom, suddenly the train tilted. I lost my balance. … Everything went topsy turvy. People started falling on each other and I was shocked and could not understand what happened. My mind stopped working,” she said.
