We haven't read any rumors about Apple's upcoming augmented reality glasses for a few weeks now. Now there's a new report that Sony is involved.
The Japanese platform Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun claims that Apple is working with Sony on a new display technology that will be used in Apple Glass. The headset or glasses could be introduced as early as next year. report According to the company, the production of these special displays will become another "pillar of revenue for Sony." The display itself will be characterized by high image quality in a small and lightweight design:
It seems that Sony has received an order for a micro-display using an organic EL panel. It features high image quality, small size and light weight, and has had many successes in viewfinders for digital cameras. Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR) compatible HMDs for new applications use optical technology to project the images shown on the display onto the lens in front of you.
AR & VR: Apple is working on two products
Moreover, it is claimed that Apple's headset could be released as early as 2021. Most recently, Bloomberg reported that Apple is looking to offer a headset for gaming sometime in 2022, with the product possibly being announced as early as 2021. If the rumor mill is to be believed, Apple is working on two different products - an AR headset and a VR headset. The gaming headset, scheduled for 2022, would reportedly combine the best of AR and VR to offer an immersive gaming experience and VR content. The sleek and lightweight headset would focus on using augmented reality to overlay data such as map navigations on top of what the user sees in the real world. However, the product is not expected to be released until 2023 at the earliest. (Photo by monsitj / Bigstockphoto)
