Many rumors have been and are being, regarding how they will be the Apple Glasses. The augmented reality glasses that all analysts and experts rumored how they will be and especially when they will hit the market. It seems that the first edition of these glasses are not going to be how we expected. A former Apple executive advises that it is more than likely that eThe first model is virtual reality glasses.
Jean-Louis Gassee, the former Apple executive, claims, that it is much more likely than the first version of Apple glasses be a virtual reality headset. More than an augmented reality device. Rumors specified that Apple glasses could debut at the earliest this year 2020 and at the latest next year. It's difficult for us to see glasses this year.
Gassee sees some major issues that will come up with any set of Apple AR wearable devices. The idea of a normal looking pair of glasses with a front view display (HUD), must address distracting, social and privacy issues. For example, he cites a 2015 study in the open-access journal PLOS that suggests that HUD devices may be more of a distraction than a benefit.
Likewise, a set of sensors for head and body movement would be needed. Even if you relegated most of your heavier processes to a connected iPhone, it would still need power from a computer and battery to function.
Seeing how Apple manages the privacy of its users, we do not know if it will allow the glasses to function in the aforementioned way. In this way there would be a long way to go and it makes a lot of sense that the first device that Apple brings to the fore is not augmented reality but virtual reality.
