Augmented reality smart glasses supposedly being developed by Apple. They will receive support for augmented and, possibly, virtual reality, visual navigation in Apple Maps, games in AR and much more.
In addition, the company plans to teach Apple Glass to automatically adjust to the user's vision. It doesn't matter if you have -3.5 or +2, the glasses will automatically configure the desired diopter, measure the distance between the pupils and adjust everything so that you can just see.
Last year alone, almost 9 million virtual reality headsets were sold worldwide. This is impressive, given that we are quite skeptical about these gadgets: at first glance, what is the use of a hefty helmet with VR? Well, try it once, pamper the children - nothing more. In addition, it is very expensive for a device that you obviously will not use every day. Apple will enter this market in the near future in order to make VR and AR massive, but not everyone knows why Apple glasses are really needed.
You may think that Apple is a clear newcomer to the virtual reality gadget market. Believe it or not, this is even good: the company was the first to release a universal smartphone that became a hit, a compact laptop, smart watches and so on. Augmented reality is an opportunity for growth for the company, and not just a toy: even though HTC, Sony and other companies are considered tops in VR, Apple has been preparing the ground for a long time by patenting inventions.
You can see this in numerous features like apps, games and tools for creating them (hello to those who watch the events until the end), so she obviously will not have to use the same barbaric methods as when creating the Motorola ROKR E1. However, the company will certainly take into account the mistakes of other developers, having a fresh look at things.
For example, Apple is able to improve the interface of the device: with simple settings like the iPhone, Apple Watch and other gadgets. One click is enough to synchronize different gadgets with each other - for example, even Meta * Quest 2 cannot boast of this. Many users complain that when using a headset, they start to get sick.
Apple has a solution to this problem: a former Cupertino engineer recently announced that he had developed a technology to help avoid motion sickness when using Apple Glass in a car. According to him, the headset could be useful for drivers when parking and changing lanes in the stream - in short, where even the systems of modern cars do not help much yet.
In addition, Apple probably has its own vision of VR glasses: they will definitely become more compact, convenient and everyone can use them without additional instructions. Plus, Apple's VR glasses will have a lot more features than you might think. Recently, companies have been working on virtual reality metaverses for communication and work, but is this the maximum that VR headsets are capable of? Apple could have offered more diverse features.
Apple's VR headset will appear very soon and will definitely become popular:
● Games, entertainment, education, communication - there is no doubt that the new gadget from Apple will support all this by default.
● The ability to switch between VR and AR: after all, it is more convenient and comfortable for someone with augmented reality tools. For example, designing a model while at home, or talking on the phone.
● Integration with the Apple ecosystem: the gadget will become an opportunity to promote work in a single chain in a new way. This is how devices can communicate with each other or run software: don't forget about Apple Fitness, which could have a logical continuation in virtual reality.
It is important to be able to use video calls with Apple glasses. Unfortunately, this will be quite difficult and expensive to implement. But right now you can use it completely free of charge: watch our video about the free Mind service!
Apple Glass is rumored to be a long-term replacement for the iPhone, but that's just the plan. So far, the headset will work in conjunction with a smartphone - insiders have previously spoken about this. What and how - there is no data yet. We hope this is launching applications, and not just syncing and settings. Yes, it's not what we expected, but the iPhone has come a long way since its release in 2007 until it became what we know it to be.
How much will Apple glasses cost? iPhone 2G at the start of sales, the smartphone cost almost 500 dollars, although in Russia you had to pay almost 13 thousand minimum for it. At that time, a lot of money, for a second. The difference with the Apple headset is that it will cost many times more - according to rumors, as much as $ 3,000.
But both gadgets are united by the value of the product and the fact that at first it can be raw, limited and may not be sold everywhere. People will be willing to pay more for it if they see the benefits and meaning of virtual reality. However, this does not negate the fact that the filling should be fantastic: they say that we are waiting for at least an M1 chip and a Sony OLED display with 4K resolution.
One thing can be said: the gadget will definitely appear, unlike the folding iPhone, whose fate is vague. And Apple has another trump card up its sleeve in the form of a large chain of stores: unlike Xiaomi, which recently introduced smart glasses, everyone can come to the Apple Store and try them on and evaluate them. But there's a slight complication in the form of user privacy: if Apple can ensure that user data remains secure, the headset will definitely succeed.
