Apple is very balanced in this project that was once called Apple Glass. Augmented Reality (AR) glasses have been a “well kept secret” for almost 4 years. No one knows almost anything about the project. So, a designer, with the little that is known, tried to guess what this new gadget will look like. See the pictures.
Along with some registered patents, with indications of what an Augmented Reality device could be, little else is known about the so-called Apple Glass. References appeared to a hypothetical operating system, RealityOS, some indications about the interaction of the glasses with other Apple devices and it's all in the ether!

The concept, shared in Twitterfeatures a compact design, 3D knitted headband with built-in audio, MacBook-style air vents and more.
Some notes on design options:
- Added a battery holder and case. The author believes that it will be part of the experience of using this product;
- 3D-printed headband with built-in audio and magnetic connections for power cord and folding storage elements;
- MacBook-style vents with built-in hidden sensors for ambient, ground, body, mouth and arm monitoring;
- The compact form is derived from the screen size and optics used combined with any other technology stack.
Apple demonstrated its AR device to top executives last month and is expected to unveil the device at WWDC in June.
The company's first set will likely be a high-end device with a range of cameras and high-resolution displays, and cost around $3,000. This will significantly limit your sales; however, it will give developers time to create applications that can be used on a cheaper second-generation device.
Will this devices help out of the less positive results?
