As a result of expanding its exposure to wearable devices, Apple has started an R&D (Research and Development) process on developing iPhone compatible Apple smart glasses. Many trusted sources from Apple say they are hoping to connect their new innovation with the iPhone. The connection between iPhone and smart glasses will be similar to the Apple Watch and iPhone connectivity. It will assist the wearer by displaying images and videos.
Apple personal said that they are hoping to release this new product on last quarter of 2017 or within 2018. Up to now, this project is at the prototyping level and also Apple has contacted several suppliers to purchase some essential parts like frames and “near-eye displays”.
Apple smart glasses seem to be similar to Google which was introduced to the public market in 2013. It followed the technology of augmented reality and used several voice commands to operate based on on-screen functions. But there were some privacy issues on Google glasses and they were highly criticized by users. However, the production of Google glasses are not Those functions were calling, capturing images and etc. They plan to make Apple smart glasses internet ready, so we can see internet-ready Apple smart glasses in the near future.
Still, Apple has not announced a method to overcome privacy issues that were faced by Google smart glasses. But Tim Cook (Apple’s CEO) clearly says that they are going to invest a lot in the latest augmented reality projects and he explains their interest in Apple smart glasses.
Beginning Apple Smart glasses will be really tough for them, as they have to develop tiny batteries, processors, and thin displays. It will consume some more time than we expect. Further, now Apple has performed a complete team dedicated to research on Augmented reality and Virtual reality.
Hopefully, we assume that the latest Apple smart glasses will leave the factory with higher battery capacity, improved display, and user-friendly screen interactions and functions than Google glass. Please keep in touch with us for more.
