We return to piggyback with the augmented reality glasses that Apple is supposedly working on, at least that is what emerges from the various statements that Tim Cook has made in this regard and where he shows how heaugmented reality offers more possibilities than virtual, as Microsoft thinks, by also focusing on this field, although only to companies.
A few months ago we echoed a rumor that Apple could launch its augmented reality system over the next year, but it seems that this information was misguided, since Gene Munster affirms that no, that the launch will take place in 2021, two years later.
In the latest report from the Loup Ventures firm, Gene Munster also states that the most optimistic predictions in terms of sales of Apple Glasses, or whatever they are finally called, would be 10 million units during the first year of launch. . Munster acknowledges investors are not very clear about the potential that augmented reality offers, except the specific cases of Pokémon Go and Snapchat. In addition, the failure of the Google Glasses in 2015 adds to the concern of society for this type of devices are they may be able to record everything they see.
According to Munster, Apple's virtual reality in the form of its own glasses will be developed in three phases. The first of which will take place in the fall, when Apple launches a new iPhone that will offer greater compatibility and renewed experiences with augmented reality. Next, augmented reality applications will be in high demand both in the gaming sector and in commerce and education. Later it will be when the Apple Glasses are launched.
