Smart glasses and augmented reality concept. Woman wearing modern spectacles with futuristic screen. Virtual technology. Close up of eye surrounded by business statistics and analytics. Future vision.

Apple's research into a VR headset and AR glasses has been documented for several years. Now, a report has emerged that provides new details on Cupertino's progress.

Die Plattform The Information will erfahren haben, dass die erste Testproduktion der semitransparenten Linsen angelaufen sein soll. Diese haben der Quelle zufolge das “Prototyping-Stadium” verlassen. Darüber hinaus werden neue Details über die Linsen enthüllt. In dem Bericht wird ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass es sich bei den Linsen um die Gläser der kommenden Augmented-Reality Brille “Apple Glass” handelt. Unklar bleibt, ob das Produkt 2022 oder 2023 erscheint. Ursprünglich wurde behauptet, dass Apple die Vorstellung eines VR-Headsets zuerst in Planung hat und etwa ein Jahr später eine AR-Brille folgen soll.

The technology comes from Akonia Holographics

Der Quelle zufolge soll die Arbeit an den Linsen 2018 gemeinsam mit Foxconn gestartet sein. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt übernahm Apple das Startup Akonia Holographics. Dabei handelt es sich um Spezialisten für Augmented Reality-Brillen. Der Fokus liegt auf der Speicherung von holographischen Daten. Aber auch die Herstellung passender Displays gehört zu Akonias Arbeit. Darüber hinaus berichtet die anonyme Quelle, dass die Entwicklung dieser Gläser ausschließlich in der Chengdu Foxconn-Fabrik stattfindet. In dem besagten Werk ist unter Anderem ein Großteil der iPad-Produktion angesiedelt. Insgesamt sei Apple wohl mit dem Design der Linsen zufrieden, weshalb nun die “EVT”-Phase anläuft, also die Phase der technischen Validierung. So heißt es in dem report:

In May, the lenses entered a phase called engineering validation testing (EVT), during which Apple typically makes thousands of units, the person familiar with the matter said. During that time, Apple locked down the design and begins testing its suitability for mass production.

Mass production possible in one to two years at the earliest

Es wird berichtet, dass die Gläser aus vielen dünnen Schichten zusammengesetzt sind, die auf Polarisation setzen, um stereoskopische Bilder zu liefern und dass sie “etwas größer sind als die, die man typischerweise bei Brillen findet”. Weiter heißt es:

The person said making the AR lenses is particularly challenging because they are made of multiple, extremely thin layers of different synthetic materials, each prone to bubbles, scratches and other marks. To reduce defects, the lenses must be manufactured in dust-free zones called clean rooms. The lenses are slightly larger than typical eyeglass lenses, the person added.

Finally, it is emphasized that the lenses themselves are about one to two years away from being suitable for mass production. Accordingly, AR glasses will have to wait a while. This statement is consistent with earlier information from Bloomberg, among others. harmonyAccordingly, the forecast for 2022 and 2023 remains unchanged. (Photo by TeroVesalainen / Bigstockphoto)
