Smart glasses are very familiar things for the technology world. Google promoted its first glasses in 2014, and Google glasses promised a lot of things to us. I would say it was like it is coming from the future. There was a camera over it to make a video record all the time. When Google launched these glasses, it was a disaster. They were nothing similar to those demos. Then Microsoft came with HoloLens and right after HoloLens2. It was a helmet rather than a glasses. I would say a computer on top of your head. They also are not comfortable enough to wear all day long. It reminds me of Robocop 😊. following projects such as ‘Magic Leap’ and ‘North Glasses’ were showed, and were invested in by Google. Glasses by North are not completely smart. A ring is indeed to control the glasses that I don’t like. So, how is Apple planning to come up with something? Apple has been investing in VR technologies for a long time. There are a lot of virtual reality apps on App Store. They pretty much make you feel like there are some objects. But this interaction is limited. I need to move my phone to that angel to see what it is there. It is not comfortable at all. What do we want? That object will be there, but I am not going to hold my phone all the time. Then glasses are showing up. It has been saying that LiDAR will be used for apple’s smart glasses as well. LiDAR sensor is already using for apple products. But, I don’t expect something huge from apple. It will be very compact. That means we are going to use the glasses through our iPhones or iPads for now. If you are not a person who likes wearing glasses, that would be a little hard to get used to it. Google already said there is not going to be a contrast filter for their smart glasses. If you are thinking of them as sunglasses, you are wrong 😃. Firstly, it will be used at school, work, and home, because smart glasses angels are very narrow, and they will not be comfortable on the street. Anyways, apple was always coming with something that shocked us every single year until 2017. Who knows, maybe they will do it again.
Everything can change! Apple is coming with new smart glasses…
