According custodia x samsung s7 edge to a new report, which cites internal presentations over at Cupertino, an AR headset will launch first in 2022, followed by AR glasses the following year.

But how could they work What will they look like, and what kind of features can we expect We’ve pulled together all the rumors, patents and other evidence that suggests custodia iphone 6s cellular line Apple firmly has its sights set on launching smart eyewear.

Apple and AR: The story so far

In cover samsung s6 edge misure 2017, with the launch of ARKit, people started to assume that the folks from Cupertino were working on some custodia cover samsung a10 actual hardware despite its AR platform only working on its smartphones and tablets.

We’ve been hearing rumbles about AR and Apple for years, but there’s been no credible reports of a timeline until now.

We’ve seen plenty of analysts predict a 2020 launch custodia cover samsung s8 for Apple’s AR headset but that doesn’t seem to be the case now.

After The Information published its report, Bloomberg corroborated the timeline, and stated in its own article that the date had been pushed back from 2020.

Apple AR: Design

The look and feel of Apple’s smartglasses is a topic that has had almost no detail attached to it. Until now.

The Information’s report suggests that the first release in 2022 a headset will be closer to a traditional VR headset with AR capabilities using external cameras.

You’ll custodia cover huawei mate 20 lite view the world through a screen that can blend the real and augmented worlds together, but custodia cover iphone 6 6s you’ll be very much immersed in the headset.

Coming just a year later according to these reports are more traditional glasses with AR capabilities. These would be designed like normal glasses, with smart features and much closer to the holy grail of facial wearables.

“Current prototypes look like high priced sunglasses with thick frames that house the battery and chips,” reveals The Information from a source allegedly close to the project.

The Information report claims senior managers at Apple believe its glasses could replace the iPhone in a decade’s time.

But anyone that has followed Apple closely knows that when it launches products, less is more in terms of custodia tablet 10 pollici samsung features. So expect simple notifications to start, from its more advanced AR glasses at least.

According to Bloomberg, in late 2017 Apple was reportedly unsure about how users will actually control the device. It looked at Siri, touch panels custodia lifeproof iphone 5 and head gestures to get around the interface. Custodia Cover Iphone 7/8 PLUS At custodia cover huawei y7 2019 the time, it custodia trasparente samsung galaxy s3 appeared Apple hadn’t settled on any of them yet.

That Bloomberg report partially corroborated a 2017 leak from alleged Foxconn insiders on Reddit. custodia cover huawei The leak claimed that the device would have a microphone, accelerometer and magnetometer. custodia cover samsung It would also use bone conduction for audio and sport a 428 x 240 resolution in champagne and black designs for both men and women.

The interaction methods were on par with custodia iphone 6 nike the Bloomberg report. Custodia Cover Iphone X/XS There would custodia x samsung j7 2016 be a capacitive touch custodia pelle apple iphone 6s strip on the arm for volume and call functions, and head gestures to control apps and Siri.

The Siri claim seems natural given the rise of AirPods, and backed up with updated patents that included references to the voice assistant as custodia iphone 7 rosa a remote for smartglasses.

Also in the world of patents, Apple seems to have made plans for a finger mounted device that would let you interact with objects, kind of like North’s ring for its Focals smartglasses. Details of Apple’s smart ring were fleshed out by another patent recently, too.

We’ve also found out that the glasses might have adaptive transition lenses, allowing them to adapt to harsh sunlight or glare, custodia samsung galaxy j 7 much like reactive glasses currently available without smart features. In fact, this makes it sound like the glasses could potentially double up as sunglasses.

Another fresh development comes in the form of Apple’s new U1 chip, present in the iPhone 11 smartphone range. Custodia Cover Iphone 7/8/SE2020 This chip introduces the potential for custodia samsung j5 2015 originale spatial awareness in devices, and could let your other devices, like an Apple Watch or your phone, become controllers that your smartglasses can track in space, an enticing proposition.

The chip could also let you much more quickly build a map of the area surrounding you in AR, using your phone’s cameras or some cover samsung e1200 embedded in the smartglasses.

There’s a limit to how crazy Apple can go with its designs they’ll still be smartglasses, with lenses and arms. How chunky they might be, or exactly what shapes custodia samsung s6 yokata they’ll be available in, though, is something we’ll have to wait to find out.

Apple AR glasses: The software

And then there’s the software. Custodia cover samsung S10 The glasses are reportedly going to run a new fork of iOS called rOS, which stands for Reality Operating System. cover custodia iphone Apple has been prototyping AR applications for this new headset for some time, according to reports.

These apps are both rebuilt versions of Apple apps, like Maps and Messages, and brand new apps like virtual meeting rooms and 360 degree video playback. We don’t yet know how the interface will look or what rOS will be capable of, though.

We are told that rOS will have an App Store where you can download applications built for flip cover samsung galaxy a5 ARKit.
