As stated by Apple CEO Tim Cook, the new headgear "seamlessly blends the real world and the virtual world".
The $3,499 (£2,849) headset will go on sale in the US early in the next year and offers a two-hour battery life.
Apple referred to the new device's capabilities as "augmented reality."
In augmented reality, often referred to as mixed reality, virtual things are superimposed over the actual environment, allowing us to combine the two by gazing through a screen.
In a virtual space, users may watch movies and use applications.
