JAKARTA - Apple is reportedly developing a software that can help users with its mixed reality headsets in creating its own Augmented Reality (AR) app using Siri's help.

A report from a trusted source of The Information said that Apple's reason for developing this device was also to encourage sales of its mixed reality headsets.

With this software, the tech giant hopes that people who don't know knowledge about computer codes will be able to notify headsets, through Siri's voice assistant, to create AR apps which will then be available on the App Store for other people to download.

For example, you can ask voice assistants to make digital animals run around the room without requiring modeling software, animation, or conventional programming.

It was also said that the AR app maker's tool is based on technology from Fabric Software, a Canadian company that Apple bought secretly in 2017.

Fabric Engine is a technology developed by Fabric Software, which is claimed to be able to create environment and objects using procedural generation, techniques used in games such as No Man's Sky.

Fabric co-founder Peter Zion is also believed to be running this AR application development tool project. Apple also bought DigitalRune, which tried to facilitate the development of 3D fims, in 2016.

Meanwhile, Apple is also reportedly almost ready to launch its first mixed reality headset this year. However, not much detail has been revealed for that.
