With all the recent talk from Tim Cook about Apple's focus on Taste of Younger Sister in law (2025)augmented reality, it came as a bit of a surprise on Monday at WWDC when the company unveiled new support for virtual reality content creation.

Led by John Knoll of Industrial Light and Magic, we got to see an HTC Vive user dive into a demo of a Star Wars experience (the title wasn't identified, but it appears to be ILMxLab immersive content the team has been working on) that was developed using the Unreal engine.
Everything from TIE fighters to a lightsaber-wielding Darth Vader were all rendered in stunning 3D, which the Vive headset wearer was able to walk around and interact with.

The combination of support for the Vive headset and an external graphics card option means that VR development is about to get a broader, more Apple-user-friendly footprint.

As Cook has repeatedly mentioned, the company's focus is on AR as the future, so this (somewhat late to the game) VR support isn't likely to move the needle in any significant way for VR insiders already developing for VR on PCs that are generally cheaper than most Macs.

The macOS High Sierra update is available today as a developer beta with a public beta coming later this month and a standard release of the OS coming to all users this fall.
