The keynote held in June was Apple's starting gun in the field of augmented reality. During the presentation we saw the possibilities offered by this technology, especially geared towards games, although not exclusively. Currently in the App Store we can find different augmented reality applications, from fantastic games to simple but very useful applications with which we can measure any object through the camera of our device. But both the iPhone and the iPad are not the ideal devices to consume this type of content and according to Mark Gurman Apple plans to launch its augmented reality glasses in 2020.
According to Mark Gurman, Apple is working at a frantic pace to carry out this project that the company has been working on for several years, according to internal sources at the Cupertino-based company. Gurman, affirms that both the augmented reality device and its operating system will be new, that is, they will not be managed by iOS but by a derivative, like the Apple TV operating system, hence the developers They have not been slow to adapt their applications to the Apple set-top box.
To manage the new operating system of Apple's augmented reality glasses, the guys from Cupertino They will bet on the new W1 chips of the AirPods or the S1 of the Apple Watch, although it is also likely that Apple will take out of the hat a new chip dedicated to this device.
Shortly after the introduction of ARKit, many were the developers who have been working to create augmented reality applications for iOS, but as it happened with the Apple TV, the developers seem to have stopped short and in recent weeks, no such app has been launched that attracts particular attention. For now, we just have to wait to see how the news related to augmented reality evolve and the possibilities that this technology offers us as it advances.
