Today I want to talk about the apple glass project specifically what is the apple glasses release
date and price and will we get some eyeglasses before summer 2021 or even in 2021 well today
i want to give you this information and at the same time as well what the apple specs
will do and how they will work and when we will get our hands actually on them
so we have known for some time now that apple have been working on a brand new product and these are
some type of new kind of specs or glasses that you'll be able to wear now the name of them
will either be something like eyeglasses or apple glass or apple glasses and what we know so far is
that these glasses will have a lidar sensor on them and they will be very ar dependent
especially the apple love ar technology so just before we get started let me know if you're a big
fan of apple products by hitting that like button and at the same time as well hit the subscribe
button followed by the bell to get the latest news like these apple glasses i'm showing here so let's
begin then 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 there was a real slim chance as well that we could have seen some apple glasses during 2020
mainly probably at the wwdc 2020 event but nothing was shown in the end we did have our doubts that
any announcement would be made to be fair at the end of the day the industry analyst ming chi quo
initially said manufacturing of any ar specs would get underway at the end of 2019 or the
start of 2020 according to money udbn.com noting that they would be reliant on a connected iphone
to do lots of processing and connectivity for the actual apple glasses but we are now in 2021
with no glasses in sight a research note from cal surfers that say that it had been pushed back with
an estimated release date of 2022 now but before you get too upset that 2022 is a long way away
another source has said that while they might not go on sale until then they're likely to be
announced at some point in 2021. the source added that they will apparently be called apple glass
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 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 but first a quick word from our sponsor today as a person who buys

once received again all the details are in the description below so let's get the next big item
cross off the list and that is the apple glasses price so as cesar 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
you'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 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'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 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 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 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
of course if we get any more news about the apple glasses we will share it with you but that is the
