There are already some ar glasses out there with some great ar features giving
us a working glasses demo in what apple could offer with their apple glasses with ar features
when they are released today i'm going to show and cover with you guys the known apple glass
ar features and how they will work when they come i also have some great news as there is some more
movement and when we can possibly see the apple glass project revealed and i want to share the
details on this along with the specs and of course the apple glasses release date and price
now already there are some companies out there making some ar glasses like nrel with their light
and air glasses and to be honest i got a pair on its way and i'll be testing them out for you soon
so excuse the pun here but keep an eye out for that video on my channel very very soon we also
know that facebook with meta and other companies are creating devices including apple who are
making both and 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 but i do also want
to touch on apple vr as there's been some movement there anyway let's dive in 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 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 in september time last year we got some new
ipads and we also got some new iphones and they will run the new latest version of ios 15 and also
ipad os 15. 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 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 latest iphone pro models apple are doing far more in ar space so apple glasses are close but
just before i jump in on the apple ar there's been some progress on apple vr so according to ming chi
quo apple news vr headsets might be coming out in 2022 and in terms of the type of software
the apple plan and the headsets to run will be more focused on gaming streaming video content
and video conferencing with a special emphasis on gaming writing in the later edition of the power
on newsletter bloomberg's mark german says that apple is shooting for a headset that can handle
high quality vr games quo has also mentioned that for one of the specs in the apple vr is for the
vr headset to come with wi-fi 6e this is quite important as it's most likely the content for
the headset will be coming from another apple device or over the internet on a high stream
to look super clear inside the headset but for apple ar well we had a leak for minchi quo quite
a while ago saying that the glasses are looking to be released for the second quarter of 2022
but with the apple vr making its debut in 2022 then it may get delayed but 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 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 2022
or 2023 followed by ar glasses in 2024 so 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

announcing any kind of giveaway on this channel and it will definitely be this time for this
macbook air here well with that out of the way guys let's return back to the video 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 via 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 the 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's 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 would just blow you
away and i think one of them is apple glass we've also seen a bunch of apple patents appear recently
explain 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
cappucino 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
it was in may 2020 apple confirmed it acquired nex vr a startup that produced virtual reality content
from the likes of nba 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
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
of course if we get any more news about the apple glasses we will share it with you but that is the
current review of everything we know so far so don't forget if you have liked this video to press
