Apple’s augmented reality glasses are ready

Of course, Apple keeps all information about the news under a strict embargo, which is not surprising. The American computer giant never comments on the arrival of new products before their official introduction.

According to Bloomberg, however, we should see the premieres – given the advanced stage of development – later this year. However, it is not yet clear whether this will happen together with the unveiling of the new iPhones after the summer holidays. Last year, Apple also dispensed the introduction of new products at several different events.

The arrival of new glasses with the logo of a delicious apple has been speculated for a long time. Apple’s boss Tim Cook indicated in an interview with The Washington Post in 2016 that his company was really planning such a novelty.

“Augmented reality is a very interesting and, in a way, key technology,” Cook said in response to what Apple was up to, Blomberg said.

What will Apple’s glasses look like? Here is one of the design ideas.

At the time, he indicated that, as in the past, the American software giant would be primarily concerned with the user experience. “We always go back to what the customer wants from us – and it’s a user experience that’s seamless,” said Apple’s chief executive.

The American computer giant on glasses allegedly cooperates with Carl Zeiss AG. It is considered one of the most successful companies in the production of lenses and optical systems. It is therefore an ideal partner for the production of glasses, even the smart ones.

Microsoft bet on augmented reality

Although no specific parameters of Apple glasses have been announced yet, it can be assumed that the novelty will work on a very similar principle as HoloLens smart glasses from Microsoft.

Their front part is as transparent as real glasses. When the user is wearing them, he sees the real objects in front of him. However, in the corner of each eye is a special camera that can project the image on the visor in real time.

In practice, it then looks as if a virtual object has actually been created in front of you. But everything takes place only in the headset. HoloLens should not only find application in games, but also in a wide range of applications.

For example, Skype is already available. With it, the caller appears on the virtual display in front of you and it doesn’t matter if you are traveling by public transport or sitting on the couch at home. The range of applications should grow over time.
