So apple glasses might be the first lidar ar specs out there apple are pushing more
and more on their AR abilities and the lidar might be just one of the key features to make
everything just work perfectly today let's do a summary of what the apple glasses release
date and price is going to be and what the apple glass project will do for us.
So let's jump right in apple are creating some VR and AR devices the VR device at the moment is
being referred to as Apple VR but the other device is more to do with ar and at the moment is looking
likely it's going to be called apple glasses today i'm going to be more focusing on the ar
device known at the moment as apple glasses giving you such details such as the release date along
with what we expect the apple glasses price to be and what the apple glasses features will also be
anyway let's dive on in on what we know about the apple eyeglasses so apple glasses have been talked
about a fair bit in the past and we have had leaks and rumors pop up even going back to 2015
and we've also had some come up in 2017 but it wasn't until around 2019 where apple were really
pushing on ar in all their keynotes and demos and that's why apple is likely to bring out an
ar eyewear project and as the rumor mill released more and more early information it looks like it's
coming true very soon just take a look at the ipad pro and the iphone 12 announcements from
last year for example both events talked about the new lidar sensor and you guessed it the sensor is
mainly to help with ar so a dedicated ar device is definitely incoming so we just had wwdc 2021
but there was also a small slim chance that we could be seeing the apple glasses at this event
but nothing was shown in the end however again ios 15 is showing more ar abilities like street view
ar on your iphone as you walk around the city or even the new live text feature for example
the ability to take a photo or even just do a live view on your camera and then just point it at some
words and then basically you can copy and paste or even translate or even look up what the words mean
and then there's even a new feature called visual lookup even this is machine learning and the
abilities we'd expect to see in the new apple glasses i think you're getting the point here
even with apple's latest software features and the introduction of the lidar sensor
for example as already mentioned in the ipad pro and the iphone 12 models apple are doing
far more in ar space so apple glasses are close so how close you may ask well we had a leak from ming
chi quo saying that the apple glasses are looking to be released in the second quarter of 2022 but
before you get upset that 2022 is a long way away it is likely that apple will preview the device
before that time for apple to announce the glasses and then release the product say three or even six
months later it's not unheard of either we saw the mac pro the trash can shaped device announced in
june 2013 and it actually came out five months later and then again the same with the newer mac
pro that was announced in june 2019 and it didn't actually come out right to the very end of 2019.
other sources meanwhile have said that they're still coming out but they've been delayed by years
with an ar headset apparently landing in either 2021 or 2022 followed by ar glasses in 2023. as
you can see it's a bit of a mess right now and there's lots of confusion and debate around when
or even if we'll get apple glasses but the latest leak suggests that they might be announced not
too long from now but guessing our actual hands on them that's going to be a different story entirely
so no it's not the news we wanted exactly here but let's take a look at the apple glasses
leaks and rumors as well as apple's augmented reality background and why ar specs seem like
the next big move for the tech giant so just quickly guys this channel recently hit over 200
000 subscribers and we gave away this macbook pro that we have right here well i have some
great news and that is we're going to be giving away another macbook pro and this one's a bit
more specked up over this one this one has 512 gigabytes of storage and also has 16 gigabytes
of ram inside and i'm going to be giving away this macbook pro here to one lucky subscriber
when we hit over 230 000 subscribers so all i want to know from you guys in the comments below
is what apple gear are you planning to buy in 2021 with the new iphones and the new macbooks
and everything let me know in the comments below also at the same time as well make sure
you subscribe to this channel and also hit that notification bell because when we hit that 230
000 figure of subscribers you want to be notified if you are going to be the lucky subscriber
to get your hands on this macbook pro also at the same time as well do check out my other videos on
this channel including the video of when we got over 200 thousand subscribers and who we gave
away this macbook pro to as well so let's get the next big item cross off the list and that
is the apple glasses price so cesaro suggests that apple glasses will cost around 499 us dollars and
that will be around 410 uk pounds and of course that is not including any prescription charges to
alter the glass lenses if needed so let's talk more about what we've seen in patent and specs
so our biggest leak is none other than our channel favorite john prosser john was the first to say
that apple glasses will actually be called apple glass and will be capable of displaying
information on both lenses with a user controlling vi gestures both on and in front of the frames
john has also said that everything will be handled by a connected iphone and apple glass supposedly
won't have conventional cameras but will have a lidar sensor to power the actual ar experiences
other details include that there won't be a sunglasses version as the display won't work with
tinted lenses also that outside observers looking at you directly face on won't be able to see
anything on the lenses and also at the same time as well that the prototype at least will be made
out of plastic however this could change for the real deal prasa also said that apple was
experimenting with a special steve jobs edition version of the glasses that would act like an
apple watch edition where the company sells a certain style of its product for a higher price
from another source mark german at bloomberg has said that the previous information isn't correct
though so take all of this with a big pinch of salt what john prosser has just proposed
beyond that apple has been busy picking up companies with an interest in ar which suggests
it's prepping its own product and recently tim cook said that apple had several new products
in the pipeline that will just blow you away and i think one of them is apple glass
we've also seen a bunch of apple patents appear recently explaining how specialist lenses could
be used to cast images on a user's eye and how a iphone ipad could be used as a controller
perhaps the biggest leak was in fact an injury report out of apple's cappuctino headquarters
and it suggests that two employers had eye injuries due to working on a
prototype unit apple has also made a number of key ar talent hires over the years according to
aruma from bloomberg apple has persuaded a leading employee of nasa for the project in hiring jeff
norris founder of mission operation innovation office at nasa's jet propulsion lab his team is
apparently 1 000 people strong and the ar glasses they're working on are said to be a high quality
resolution of cameras 3d scanning and an amazing display and advanced human detection also built
straight into them they're also apparently working on an ar headset which could launch first with a
design like the oculus quest but a lightweight more comfortable build instead in more recent
news in may 2020 apple confirmed it acquired nex vr a startup that produced virtual reality content
from the likes of mba and fox sports while it's unclear how this could impact apple ar glasses
it's logical the startup's expertise will contribute to the product design in some way
so i've been banging on about apple glasses and that they will mainly use ar and some of you
have probably heard of ar but not fully understood what it actually does and have i actually seen it
before so to be honest you probably actually have seen it so some of the most popular examples of ar
are lenses and filters available on instagram and snapchat the ones where for example you stick your
tongue out and the dog's tongue appears over the top of it or your ears change into a dog's ears
or your hearts coming out of your eyeballs or for example if you're doing a video chat and you can
put on a silly hat on top of your head and it follows you around they are all ar experiences
another great example before the days of covert 19 when we could go out and about was pokemon go
where your pokeball and your pokemon could be seen for a combination of through your phone's camera
and the phone screen so with all these possibilities that have become reality in
the last couple of years imagine now if you could slip on some glasses and when you run into say a
train station and your glasses automatically tell you the train times to your destination right in
front of you and it will show you arrows and guys on the floor to get you to the correct platform
on time to catch your train or maybe you say to siri in the middle of a supermarket how do i make
a great chicken curry and then at that moment on your screen straight away it will show you
all the ingredients you need and it will guide you down all the correct aisles to the right
location to pick up those ingredients so you can take them home and make yourself a great curry
i could think of many more examples but i think you have the idea now
now i will say this the idea of ar glasses have been invented before some years ago this
was none other than google glass these advanced smart glasses were tipped to change everything
tech to the way we live by overlaying layers of information onto the real world but thanks to
people not really into this type of tech financial problems and design challenges they never really
fully came out apart from a small number of developers and testers getting their hands on them
although the trouble story of google glass may sound a bit of a failure it actually taught tech
companies a great deal about building ar tech enabled eyewear and the challenges of bringing
a whole new product category to the market it was very soon after that google pulled the plug
on the google glass that apple invested into the ar and the ar kit they offer right now and
that's where we've got to today with ar so are you excited about the future of apple glasses or apple
glass will it be a piece of tech you're investing and get let me know below if you plan to get it
