Future AR smart glasses may also be in the works. It’s difficult to persuade folks to put on an AR headset. It’s been difficult for me to remember to bring smart glasses and to find space to carry them. The majority of them are also against my medication. Snap’s developer-focused AR glasses, which show where everyday AR glasses could go, were recently demonstrated to me, although they’re still a work in progress.
The Apple Watch was initially and foremost touted as a “beautiful watch.” I’m expecting the same thing from its spectacles. If Apple produces prescription glasses and sells them in War by Parker-inspired seasonal designs through its Apple Stores, that may be enough for some customers if the frames are appealing. Apple’s virtual reality headset, according to Gur guy, will include prescription lenses. That could be a stepping stone toward the development of spectacles in the future.
Google purchased North
Future AR smart glasses may also be in the works. In 2020, Google purchased North, a smart glasses company that created a prescription, nearly normal-looking pair of glasses. North’s glasses concept may be too similar to Google Glass for Apple’s liking, but the idea of AR glasses that can also be used as functional glasses seems very Apple-like. Vuzix’s upcoming smart glasses for 2021 demonstrate how far the technology has progressed, but even those glasses won’t be able to scan the world spatially and overlay augmented reality: they’ll be more like advanced glasses with heads-up displays and 3D audio.
Future AR smart glasses may also be in the works. Could Apple make its first smart glasses more user-friendly, allowing the corporation to progressively add more AR features over time while allowing newcomers to gain a feel for the technology? Will Apple’s first set of glasses seek to solve the AR puzzle? For eyewear, augmented reality is a novel and somewhat off-putting concept. Perhaps Apple will aim for delicacy. The original Apple Watch was designed to be glanced at for only five seconds at a time.
