A new rumor has appeared today. Jon prosser lately it does nothing more than drop pearls on the devices that Apple will present in the future. Well, to present, lately nothing, since it puts them on sale in the Apple Store without notice.
Today he has appeared on a technology podcast and explained that Apple is working on two models of virtual glasses. One heavier, type las PlayStation VR, and a lighter one, like conventional prescription glasses.
There are already many rumors that speak of a future virtual glasses that Apple has in project. They are most likely of the head-mounted display type (HMD), a system similar to the current PlayStation VR, for example.
However, leaker Jon Prosser has commented on the tech podcast GadgetCast that Apple is working on augmented reality glasses that support 5G networks and they are more similar to the design of conventional prescription glasses than an HMD.
Features
Prosser says he saw two prototypes on company premises, which were "clean" and "slippery" in appearance. Expect Apple's glasses to debut next year with these likely features:
- They will have a design similar to normal prescription glasses that show an interface on the inside of the lens.
- The information offered on the screen will not be seen from the outside. With them on, you can see the augmented reality screen, which will superimpose digital images on the user's real-life environment.
- Apple glasses will need an iPhone 5G to work.
- They will have their own operating system which is codenamed "Starboard."
- Users will need an iPhone or an Apple Watch to set up Apple glasses and help extract data from the sensor.
In particular, I think that there is still a long gestation time left for some light glasses. I am thinking, for example, of autonomy. The glasses temples should be very thick to house the necessary battery. In short, time will tell.
