what would you do to have a pair of glasses that is not only powered by augmented reality but also synchronizes with your phone to show you things such as your emails texts a map of wherever you are or gives you directions for where you're headed all of these without you even having to pull out your phone well these are some of the things that the Apple glasses will help you do but what if I tell you that the Apple glasses will also conform to anyone's prescription needs and that's why thousands of people like me have
been waiting excitedly for these eyewear for many many years now but unfortunately we will have to wait longer well till at least 2025 but what are the other things to expect from the Apple glasses that make this eyewear so special and could the Apple glasses be the product that eventually replaces the iPhone history of the Apple glasses this story began way back in 2014 when thousands of spyglass lovers around the globe were heartbroken because of Google's Smart Glass failure the Google Glass failed because back then people weren't really interested in this type of tech and
also because of some design challenges but their hopes were soon revived when news about Apple's smart glasses became the Talk of the Town in 2017 and I can tell you that no one is as excited as Apple's CEO Tim Cook about the prospects of diving into virtual and augmented reality he made a passionate speech about Apple's interest in mixed reality devices during the worldwide developers Conference held at San Jose McHenry Convention Center in 2017. and speaking with apple sleuth timberjarin at a private event Tim Cook explains that virtual and augmented reality could be one of
Apple's greatest contributions to the tech World Tim may be right after all because Apple did get the world's attention with the Apple glass unfortunately it seems we'll have to wait longer than expected as the launch has been delayed till around 2025 due to some serious technical issues with the Apple glass according to timberjarin Apple didn't start developing the smart glasses immediately after the worldwide developers conference instead Apple took a systematic approach by creating software applications that could be delivered on iPhone phones and iPads these applications will eventually be used on the Apple glass we could
assume that apart from making the tech world happier Apple's technological strides are largely in effect because they are trying to introduce a perfect glass model to the world and as we can see from the indefinite postponement Apple isn't ready to risk the tiniest floor in its most ambitious project if Apple gets things right it could result in a profitable expansion of the AR market for life what's more it will make people believe that a device as unique as this could be more than just science fiction or what you see in a superhero movie the third
and fourth quarter of 2022 was greeted with several rumors and speculations about Apple glass interestingly some of these viral stories made sense While others were a little out of line also several leaked patents suggest what Apple glass might look like but from what we know about Apple and I guess most tech companies in general they can issue hundreds of patents and only a few of them eventually get used however it seems like the picture is getting clearer on what we might be expecting to see if the Apple glass ever gets launched overall design it's no
longer news that the Apple glass will be produced in the similitude of Google smart glasses it will be produced with lightweight material that will make it convenient for longer and outdoor use the best thing about the Apple glass is its AR feature users will get to see digital information overlaid in the real world and guess what the Apple glass will share data directly from your iOS device sadly Apple's Tech Geeks are yet to get their hands on lightweight Hardware that will possess the power of an iPhone as well as a sufficient battery life to sustain
it many of the things we know about the design of the Apple glass are from leaked patterns some of which illustrate Apple glass as a safety wearable but if apple is going to steal the hearts of millions of apple-centric people with the smart glasses then it has to be fashionable aside from its technical qualities people want to look cool on Apple glass and not like some two-decade old Terminator at no offense Arnold nonetheless Apple has in the past displayed sleekness and style in its designs from the earliest to the most recent and we can say
based based on this fact that the design of Apple glass might not be disappointing why in May 2022 Apple analyst John Prosser suggested that Apple glass will look like the pair worn by its founder Steve Jobs with respect to some sort of Heritage Edition wouldn't that be nice however Apple sleuth Mark German says that John pross's disclosure could well be a rumor moreover Tim Cook hasn't said anything about the glasses except heaping Praises on the prospects of augmented reality to say the least the design for Apple glass wouldn't be different from your normal glasses going
by the pictures we've seen on the internet the eyewear will have a light detection and ranging scanner also known as lidar scanner on the right Temple this scanner will help the user create fast accurate and realistic 3D representations of close range objects and environments however the Apple glasses do not come with any inbuilt cameras still lidar helps position objects without physical markers in seconds the first generation of Apple glass will also come with the stand and a wireless charging dock the battery life is also expected to be around on three hours but if charging the
Apple glass would be as easy as charging airpods then the short life span wouldn't be much of a problem apart from the glasses the lenses are also another feature that make the Apple glasses pretty special special lenses one of the major things to expect from the Apple glass are its special lenses Apple has been granted a patent that reveals that the smart glasses will accommodate all eye conditions despite their severity using an optical sub-assembly Apple glass will automatically adjust to the user's eyesight however several analysts claim that this feature is likely to be used in
developing the augmented and virtual reality headset that Apple has picked over the development of smart glasses and if not perhaps we'll get to see it in the second edition of Apple glass another patent shows that apple is making attempts to increase user experience by projecting the image right into the user's eye this way it becomes way easier to focus on particular images this feature however doesn't prevent the smart glasses from doubling as prescription glasses also going by a 2019 CNET report which indicated that the Apple glasses were projecting 8K users can expect a stunning 7680
by 4320 pixel resolution for each eye if and only if the report turns out to be true several other patents suggest that Apple glass can project parts of the world you wish to see allows you to change backgrounds seamlessly and for the secret government agents watching this video Apple glass depth sensors will Aid night vision there are also talks of Apple glass having a privacy eyewear feature that keeps your iPhone display private but more importantly another patent has revealed wearables in the form of smart rings that will Aid finger movement and gestures to which Apple
smart glasses must work accordingly let's say you're using a pen for instance well an apple pen the smart Rings will help translate whatever movements you make with your fingers into handwritten text and according to Apple sleuth Ming Chi quo the Apple glass may use Sony micro OLED displays and Optical modules to improve its see-through AR experience and in the same vein provide an impressive VR experience Apple glass privacy going back to privacy one of the major problems with apple glass might be the idea that users can record or photograph people without their knowledge and I
guess Hollywood has made us aware of this fight when Google Glass came out in 2013 a Seattle bar called The Five Points Cafe publicly banned the use of Google Glass from their premises for the same reason Apple didn't need to have that experience with their hmds before protecting people's privacy so they got a patent that allowed for recording indicators to alert bystanders when they're being recorded however this patent is more suitable for Apple's AR VR headset since Apple didn't install an extra camera on Apple glass and even if we're taken by surprise we can be
sure that both users and bystanders privacy is protected also the pattern suggests a removable camera accessory module its absence signifies the hmd user cannot record it also provides theaters and bars like the five-point Cafe leverage against illegal filming or photographs Apple glass May detect sound Elite pattern suggests that the Apple glass features several microphones that helps it detect even the littlest sound and lead the user to the detected sounds via an indicator AR kit we already know that Apple has been in the business of AR for years and each version of iOS contains newer AR
features and as I said earlier these captivating features are a systematic approach to Apple's most ambitious AR Tech going forward location anchors on the AR kit will allow Apple glass users to affix AR objects to real-world locations in other words sporting Apple glass or Apple's mixed reality headset will allow you to see these objects without physical interaction objects like locations signs directions and almost everything you see daily also Apple glass users can create a 3D map of a specific location in seconds using capture depth data and anchor points Apple has also added face and hand
tracking software to the AR kit with it users can expect an immersive gaming experience and they'll also be able to translate sign language Apple glass software and price it's been rumored that apple is already developing two AR VR platforms the first is based on iOS slash reality operating system also known as Ros which suggests it will only work on your iPhone and the other on Mac OS extended reality operating also called xros and as the name implies it will only work on your Macbook so the Apple glass is likely to use the Ros in addition
to this a 2020 leak reveals that the Apple glass will employ an operating system codenamed starboard interestingly back in 2019 a few codes were discovered inside the builds of Apple's IOS 13 with the codename starboard or Star tester as I've said over and over again Apple relies on a series of developing systems for its latest technology but whilst we can go on and on about the interesting features of the Apple glasses one important question is would you be able to afford it John Prosser discloses that the Apple glass will cost 499 dollars separate from the
cost of prescription lenses the lenses are likely to be custom made so depending on your insurance plan plans you're likely to spend around fifteen hundred dollars in total and that's quite a pretty penny so what is Apple doing now news about the Apple glasses indefinite postponement isn't complete without talking about its replacement the mixed reality headset Apple explains that the combined augmented and virtual reality headset will be a stepping stone to the development of the Apple glass earlier patents have shown that the headset will come with specialized gloves the mixed reality headset is likely to
be launched this year and a second generation which will be much lighter and rumored to be able to take calls will be out in 2024 and let's not forget Apple's AR contact lenses which analysts believe will be launched in 2030 and hopefully after this you'll be able to cop the Apple glass from your favorite stores
