The idea of being surrounded by water and unable to open a window sounds fairly claustrophobic so I was pleasantly surprised to find the two rooms to be anything but - measuring roughly 5.5 by 5 metres.
Facebook's Oculus headsets instead bring a screen so close to your eyes that your brain can be tricked into believing you're in the computer-generated world. This means you can scuba dive with massive blue whales, explore the ruins of Chernobyl or battle your way through an epic spaceship dogfight. Scott Stein, CNET's editor at large, called Facebook's $399 Oculus Quest headset "the best thing I've tried this year" when he reviewed it in 2019.
Apple's purchase marks the latest sign the iPhone maker is closer to revealing its augmented reality and virtual reality headset, which sources told CNET in 2018 was planned for sometime this year. The headset is expected to use AR technology, which overlays computer images on the real world, and VR, which tricks your brain into believing you've been transported into a computer program. But more importantly, it could signal Apple's next major product reveal, following the iPhone in 2007, iPad in 2010 and Apple Watch in 2014.
NextVR, founded in 2009, raised $115.5 million, according to startup tracker Crunchbase. Apple confirmed the news, saying it "buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans." The acquisition was earlier reported by 9to5Mac and Bloomberg.
I worry too that my very presence is a disturbance to the sea life, but she tells me visitors are needed in order to gain a greater understanding of the reef and learn how to protect it for future generations.
Lunch and snacks: Dont always depend on your dive group to provide you with meals. Quick snacks such as fruit/granola bars and beverages will prevent you from being hungry. Ask beforehand if food will be provided or catered.
Otherwise, consider bringing a sandwich if there is a fridge on board.
A multitude of different fish types swim up to the window throughout the night, probably attracted to a small blue UV light outside the room, which the company assures me has been developed to ensure the lowest possible impact on marine life.

Reefsuites are from $799 per person, while Reefsleep beds on the top deck are from $595 per person (sharing) or $795 for sole occupancy. Prices include a return cruise out to the reef from Hamilton Island, all meals and beverages and a selection of marine activities.
WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) - An "Antiques Roadshow" guest in North Dakota was floored when he found out the current value of a Rolex watch he purchased while serving in the military more than four decades ago.
It's with a broad smile that I wave goodbye as the boat leaves the pontoon for land a few hours later. We leave that night's guests sunbathing on giant bean bags, relaxing in the shade of the upper deck day beds, or taking another dip in the water.
Compass, computer, timer, depth gauge: These are very popular and more commonplace now than ever before. It is easier to keep track of your decompression needs with a dive computer than a dive table.
Where Apple's headset will ultimately fall is still unclear. The VR market is still considered nascent, with sales still a fraction of those of smartphones and computers. But with the coronavirus pandemic forcing millions of people to shelter in their homes, experts say headset makers have an opportunity to offer us escape or even a better way to work.
Microsoft's latest device, 2019's HoloLens 2, is a $3,500 headset with a camera, transparent screen and internet connection through your phone. With those technologies, Microsoft's device can add computer images to whatever you're looking at, allowing companies to highlight tools you need to use while learning to make repairs on an engine, for example, or bring an expert across the world to an oil platform to help a field worker quickly solve a problem.
The California startup is mostly known for partnerships with the NBA and Wimbledon to stream live sports from specialized cameras set up courtside to people's headsets at home. The effect is meant to make people feel as though they're sitting in premium seats, watching the game. NextVR also struck deals to stream music events and some of the debates from the 2016 presidential race.
