Augmented reality glasses, Apple still on the subject

After demonstrating its mastery of augmented reality with the Vision Pro headset, Apple now wants to democratize it in a more portable and less expensive format.

Rumors have been circulating about a pair of augmented reality glasses from Apple for a few years, although other indiscretions mention a simpler version, without a virtual layer superimposed on the real environment.

In any case, the latest rumors collected by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg affirm that Apple is still thinking about these "Apple Glass", capable of providing the augmented reality already brilliantly displayed on the Apple Vision Pro headset. However, the company must solve a difficult equation before offering such a product to the general public, starting with the size and weight of the device, which must appear elegant and discreet, while being packed with technologies that are still bulky, such as the battery, a component that is still difficult to miniaturize.

In addition, the glasses must be equipped with quality screens, without inflating the sale price too much. Indeed, the Apple Vision Pro is not very successful, particularly because of its high price. According to Gurman, it will take Apple another three to five years for the technology to be sufficiently advanced to resolve all these problems.
