There are many rumors that surround the launch of some augmented reality glasses from Apple. These still seem like they are quite far away but there are several rumors that point to the characteristics that it may have. The latest information comes from the reputed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who points to the possible features that would end up being included. We tell you all the details in this article.
The sophisticated systems of Apple AR glasses
In the report that has been made public today written by Ming-Chi Kuo, it is committed to the inclusion of an eye-tracking system in the glasses. In this way the hardware will be able to detect at all times where the user is looking as well as if it is blinking and even be able to identify people. The latter can be really interesting since it must be taken into account that like each person has unique fingerprints, also with different and unique irises. This is something that can be seen in the movies, such as a recognition of this to open a door for example. That is why this if it ends up fulfilling in the end you can have a system similar to Touch ID or Face ID in these glasses.
And to the question of what use can the fact that the glasses know where they are looking, the answer is quite simple. It is a matter of giving much more functionality to hardware through software. If, as a user, you are looking at a fixed point for a few seconds, the glasses can automatically display much more information. It will interpret that for you that location is important to give you everything you need. Even if you blink twice in a row or any other pattern, other internal systems can be activated.
Added to this is also the best efficiency. By knowing how the eye is moving or where it is looking, it will be possible to adjust much more to the reality of representability. That is why it will end up focusing much better on those sites where you are looking directly. This can end up being a solution to the fact that users can end up getting dizzy while wearing these AR glasses. In addition to a matter of comfort, there can also be a saving of the resources that are available. Both the GPU and the CPU can only allow certain information to be processed to provide maximum resolution. In the rest of the field, these resources can be saved by increasing autonomy or wear and tear on the equipment. Although it must always be borne in mind that this is a device that should not be used daily for several hours in a row, such as a mobile device.
The price and its launch
In addition to the information on the possible hardware characteristics, it has also made reference to its launch and its price. Specifically, it continues to bet on its presentation next year without reducing the quarter. To this is also added the price of the device that will not be really cheap as expected. Specifically, he would bet on a price that would be around $ 1,000, making the glasses a niche and high-end product. This is something that Apple already knows and does not expect large daily sales adjusting the production chain in this way. With this launch, it will try to compete with the glasses of other brands such as HTC or even the LiDAR sensor of the iPad Pro that would remain a trifle.
