What are Apple Glasses? What’s so special about the super product that redefines both fashion and technology?

Apple is in the process of creating AR glasses called Apple Glasses with smart and advanced technologies of the future. Is there anything special about this super product that redefines both fashion and technology? Let’s find out with Dien May Xanh right here!

Name

Apple’s AR glasses will likely be simply called Apple Glass . This may not be an impressive name, but it makes a lot of sense

Google’s AR glasses (Google Glass) has opened up a new technology product category with a new name. Therefore, it is completely understandable for Apple to follow in the footsteps of the competition and use a familiar name instead of creating a completely new one, forcing consumers to get used to it again .

Design

Leaked information says that Apple Glass is made of plastic , however, there is still a high chance that Apple Glass is made from some kind of metal.

Notably, Apple will design Apple Glass to look like a normal pair of eyeglasses as much as possible, not like a technology item with a “difficult” design like Google Glass before.

How it works

Apple Glass will function similarly to the first-generation Apple Watch . In particular, most of the processing will be done on the user’s iPhone.

Besides, there will be a screen on both sides of the glass and Apple Glass will not be sunglasses. Most likely, the cause lies in the fact that Apple has not been able to make the screen work properly on dark glass.

Apple Glass will not have a built-in camera for privacy reasons. However, the glasses are still equipped with a LiDAR sensor , but it is intended for measuring space and distance in AR applications, not for photography. This would be a smart move by Apple to avoid privacy and security concerns.

And also likely, the glasses will also be controlled by body language . However, this does not bring the user a very convenient feeling.

Connect

Apple Glass is expected to have wireless connectivity and be controlled from an iPhone . Most of the display settings will be on the phone, and you only have to use hand gestures on the glass for a few basic operations. This is similar to their Apple Watch products.

So Apple Glass users will probably need to carry their iPhone with them to be able to control their AR glasses, and Apple may remove this limitation in later generations.

The battery

Specs about the battery life of the glasses have not been revealed yet. However, Apple Glass will charge via wireless protocol , users have to turn them upside down and place them on a plastic holder to charge the battery.

Price

The retail price of this AR glasses is about 499 USD (more than 11 million VND) for the base version. If you are nearsighted and want glasses to match your nearsightedness, you will have to spend a little more money.

Many people predict the customized Apple Glass could cost up to nearly $1,000 . Anyway, Apple still wants to make sure their glasses are affordable for the majority of consumers, otherwise the product will never be popular. So we will wait and see how they handle this issue.

Meeting day

According to the source, Apple will announce the glasses in the ” One More Thing ” section of the iPhone 12 launch event. But due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is likely that Apple will have to postpone the event scheduled for September. to an unspecified date in Q4/2020 or Q1/2021, depending on the situation.

That means Apple Glass will probably go on sale a year later, in Q4 of 2021 or Q1 of 2022.
