So more news is out for apple's new vr and ar devices but for the apple glasses a lot of you
and myself included are wondering when we will see it well there looks like there is some more
movement on when we can possibly see the apple glass project revealed and i want to share those
details along with the latest on the specs and of course the apple glasses release date and price
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 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've just had some new apple products like 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 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 pow 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 previewed 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 2022 or 2025 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 leaks suggest 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 recently this channel got over 300 000 subscribers what is absolutely
amazing so in celebration of this i've decided to do a giveaway of this it is an iphone 13 pro max
and it is in white silver and it's a 256 gigabyte model option so recently i've given away a sierra
blue one when we got over 300 000 subscribers and i'm going to be giving away this iphone 13 pro
max when we get over 350 000 subscribers and all you need to do to enter into this international
giveaway is just write down in the comments below of what apple gear you're planning to buy in 2022
write it down in the comments below and also at the same time as well make sure you subscribe
to this channel and also hit that notification bell because i'll be revealing who the winner is
when we get over 350 000 subscribers via a video and you won't want to miss that notification
for that video now quickly i just want to mention as well sadly there are a lot of scammers and
spammers out there who use my face for example and also tell you to what tap them this is not
me and i'm afraid they're not giving away any giveaways out there i'm the only one who's doing
the giveaway and you can make sure it's me by seeing that there's a tick next to my actual name
and also like i said that any comments or anything will have that tick but the actual giveaway itself
will be on that actual video when we get over 350 000 subscribers not before well with that
out of the way 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 vi gestures both
on and in front of the frames jon 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 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 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 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 in more
recent news in may 2020 apple can firmly 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
