“Apple Glass” will also be entitled to LiDAR?

Used on the iPad Pro and now the iPhone 12 Pro, LiDAR is at the heart of all desires and the sensor does not seem ready to be abandoned by Apple.

On the contrary, it would seem that this is only the beginning of his adventure with the apple brand. The latter intends to reuse the LiDAR sensor in the years to come.

In a patent recently filed by the firm, LiDAR is the center of attention since it is placed on “Apple Glass”. It could in fact allow the glasses to operate even in very little light and thus improve vision in very low light conditions.

“Apple Glass”, the ultimate rumor mill

The product has almost become mystical, rumors around Apple's connected glasses have existed for years, but never any concrete announcement from Tim Cook. More generally, the digital giants have been struggling with the problem of connected glasses for almost 10 years. The first to publicly talk about it was Google with “Google Glass” which had the end we know about.

It is therefore logical that the thinking heads of Cupertino do not really want to talk about this connected glasses project, as long as they are not 100% ready. Apple not wanting to relive the disillusionment of AirPower, still in the minds of many to define the word "failure" within Apple Park.

Thus the project ofApple Glasscontinues on his way. For years, improvements have been made to it, like today with LiDAR. It actually seems difficult to imagine Apple releasing “Apple Glass” without LiDAR. In just a few weeks, this small sensor will have taken a leading role in the development of future Apple products.
