It's no longer a secret, Apple has aaugmented reality glasses project. This project could be divided into three stages. For the first, it would involve introducing an augmented reality headset to the general public, around 2022-2023. Around 2025, Apple would unveil its augmented reality glasses. Finally, by 2030, product minimalization would have reached its peak, with connected lenses boosted by augmented reality.

The technologies that will underpin this project are expected around the corner. It will be essential for Apple to introduce them in an ergonomic way and above all to respond to a real need among users.
The other important point will be the design, both helmet and glasses. And precisely on this subject, according to the website The Information,Jonathan Ive,former iconic designer of the Californian firm, would have had a say on the style of these Apple Glass.
Here is what we can read in the article:
“Ive has continued to tweak the headset’s design. While earlier prototypes had the battery in the headband, he prefers a design that would tether the headset to a battery the user wears, similar to Magic Leap’s headset design. It couldn’t be learned if this approach will make it into the final design.”
And the translation: “Ive (Jonathan Ive) hascontinued to refine the helmet design. While the first prototype (of the product) integrated the battery into the support band, he (J. Ive) imagined a remote solution, with a battery carried by the user. It is unclear if this solution was chosen for the final version of the product however.”
Tim Cook has already stated in the past that, even if J. Ive was no longer employed by the Californian firm, the latter did not hesitate to consult the designer and his firm regarding the design of Apple products currently being developed.
Jony Ive made the Apple legend
As a reminder, J. Ivesigned the design of iconic headed devices, including the iPhone, iPod, Mac mini, but also the iMac, iPad, MacBook and Apple Watch. He worked alongside Steve Jobs and Tim Cook for around thirty years.
In his minimalist style, we hope that the man will sign with Apple Glass, one of his greatest successes. It would also be one of its largest projects. Because, in addition to the battery problem, according to the latest news, the headset would integrate no less than14 cameras… Bon courage, Sir.
