Apple Glasses
For the past few years, rumors have grown that Apple is planning to release some kind of virtual reality “Apple Glasses.” Reports have shown that the company is developing a kit for software, and Apple has been buying up “augmented reality” companies like Akonia Holographics.
Augmented reality is all about placed images over real environments, so comparisons to Google’s Glass project are unavoidable. Google Glass died a quiet death after a few years of commercial experimentation – Apple will have to differentiate its own product, make it useful for the average consumer, and find a price point that everyone can live with. That’s a tough order.
The latest rumors say that Apple will be releasing the augmented reality glasses in 2020. Expect to learn a lot more then.
