So more news is out for the apple glasses but we've also had a report on the apple vr
2022 announcement that looks like it's going to be coming out before the apple glass project
today let's do a summary of what the apple glasses release date and
price is going to be and what the apple glass specs will do for us
Hi it's Matt here and let's get started right away so 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 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 we've just had some new apple products like um the new ipads and also the 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 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
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 latest 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 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 shape 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 so then guys just quickly
this channel got over 260 000 subscribers and i announced who the winner was for this brand new
ipad pro m1 and do check out my video on my channel of who this ipad pro is going
to but the great news is guys i am doing another giveaway and it is for this it is for a brand new
iphone 13 promax 128 gigabyte model in the sierra blue and i'm going to be giving this away to
one lucky subscriber when we get over 300 000 subscribers and just like the last giveaway
what i want you guys to do is put down in the comments below of what apple gear you plan to
buy in 2021 or maybe into 2022. also at the same time make sure you subscribe to this bus and hit
that notification bell because when we get over 300 000 subscribers i will be notifying you guys
for who the winner is of this brand new iphone and just quickly on that i do want to quickly comment
that if you do get a comment to say that you've won or something like this before we hit the 300
000 marker it is probably not me it is most likely a scammer and the best way you can tell
if this is a scam or not is basically open up that person's account by open clicking on their profile
and you'll be able to see how many subscribers they got and if they've got less than 260 000
subscribers like at the time i'm making this video here then basically you will know they are not me
plus also at the same time as well they will probably have hardly any videos uploaded
and also their account will probably be very very new so do ignore these emails or these messages
from these people or what you can do is at the same time you can actually report them to youtube
but enough of that like i said over three hundred thousand subscribers is the only time i'm going
to be announcing who the winners of this iphone 13 pro max and that's the only prize i'm gonna
be doing between now and then so make sure you subscribe to this channel hit that notification
bell also at the same time guys if you're liking this video so far please do press the
like button well let's get back to the main 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 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 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 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 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 explain how specialist lenses could be
used to cast images on the 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 can firmly 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
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
