Among the new patents registered by Apple related to 3D screens, augmented reality and virtual reality, they continue to add new shopping news related to this technology and Apple. On this occasion the guys from Cupertino have decided to buy the company Metaio, a startup related to the augmented reality and computer vision according to some media.
What is clear is that this technology is already present at Apple and other technology companies to this day, so it is quite normal that we continue to see this type of purchases and news related to patents on virtual and augmented reality.
To get a little up-to-date on the Metaio company, we can say that it is a German firm and that at first it was created by the well-known Volkswagen (if that of cars) and lately He did work for Ikea or the Italian brand Ferrari. Now the startup owned by Apple would join in the tasks of improving and increasing the features of Maps, which would allow to implement augmented reality in it and offer, for example, the possibility of being used in Apple's patented VR kit and seeing the menu of a restaurant from the outside.
Nobody except Apple knows the real possibilities that this purchase offers, but it is true that little by little we are seeing more news related to this technology and who knows if after the Apple Watch the next Apple product will be VR glasses.
