In the YouTube video titled “Here’s Why Apple’s New Glasses Will Change Everything”, the speaker discusses Apple’s upcoming smart glasses, the Apple Glasses, which will utilize augmented reality (AR) technology. The glasses aim to incorporate AR into daily life and sync with an iPhone, offering features like virtual street view, improved spatial awareness, and low-light capabilities. However, the glasses face challenges in terms of battery life, with a minimum of three hours predicted, potentially limiting their usage. Apple may include a wireless charging glasses case as a solution and could rely on the iPhone for processing needs to maintain a desirable design. The glasses will also offer prescription lens options, adjustable lenses, and a detachable camera module for privacy concerns. Priced at $499 plus prescription expenses, Apple Glasses are more affordable than some competitors and are predicted to be released in 2025, following Apple’s expected 2022 VR headset release.
- In this section of the YouTube video, the speaker discusses Apple’s latest innovation, the futuristic Apple Glasses, which will be a part of Apple’s ecosystem and make use of augmented reality (AR) technology. AR combines digital items and processes with the natural environment, contrasting virtual reality (VR) which is a completely simulated environment. Apple Glasses are different from Apple’s AR headset, as well as Google Glass and Microsoft Hololens, in their aim to incorporate AR into daily life, such as reading text or emails without looking at a phone. The device is also intended to work within the Apple environment and sync with an iPhone, allowing users to access information like maps and games. Apple is exploring the creation of a separate app store for the glasses and is considering using an optical sub-assembly to serve as in-headset vision correction, eliminating the need for prescriptive glasses. Additionally, Apple Glasses may allow users to modify the background of items they see on the fly and use a Lidar scanner for tracking and augmenting the user’s environment. Functionality may include virtual street view, improved spatial awareness, and low-light capabilities, with a field of view of 52 degrees and a resolution of 47 ppi. Apple Glasses could potentially offer a truly immersive augmented reality solution by linking to the iPhone via a separate Wi-Fi connection and processing all footage taken by the glasses’ camera on the phone.
- this section of the YouTube video titled “Here’s Why Apple’s New Glasses Will Change Everything”, the speaker discusses Apple’s upcoming smart glasses and the challenges they face in terms of battery life. The glasses are expected to require a significant amount of bandwidth, possibly leading to a minimum of three hours of battery life. However, users may be forgiving if Apple includes a wireless charging glasses case. The glasses will need to balance between a large battery for processing power and an attractive design. Apple may compromise by having the glasses rely on an iPhone for processing needs. The glasses are also expected to include prescription lens options, adjustable lenses, and a detachable camera module for privacy concerns. Apple Glasses are priced at $499 plus prescription expenses, making them more affordable than some competitors. Apple Glasses are predicted to be released after an Apple VR headset, which is expected in 2022, while the glasses will be available in 2025.
