Augmented reality according to Apple: iPhone connected glasses for 2018?

A new report has just been published by Mark
Gurman and colleagues on Apple's future strategy
concerning the fields of virtual reality and augmented reality. Gurman,
recognized specialist of the Cupertino company, therefore says that the latter
could arrive in 2018 with a product likereality glasses
increased, for use with the iPhone. Virtual reality, choice
privileged by Google currently, would be put aside by Tim Cook:

We knew that the CEO of the Californian company is considering a more
radiant for augmented reality, for the general public in any case, by
in relation to virtual reality. During ainterview
given this summer, he assured that Apple had indeedand
project in development linked to AR.

According to Gurman, it would be a pair of glasses to connect to the iPhone,
allowing you to enjoy an augmented reality experience, or to have
additional virtual information on the real visible environment.

This matches the blogger's predictions
Robert Scoble, for whom Apple would be well into the development phase of
augmented reality glasses. But while this specialist
saw an arrival of the new product with the iPhone 8 next year,
for Gurman and Bloomberg, we should instead count on the year 2018.

The interest of the Apple firm in this field of VR and AR in full swing
explosion is in fact only an open secret, there is no need to see the
different acquisitionsmade by Apple in this matter or
in more or less related fields, withPrimeSense,
Metaio,

FlyBy, or even
Emotive.

We also knew, at the beginning of 2016, that the engineers of the Cupertino firm
had spent some time in areality laboratory
virtualhas
Stanford.

With the new confirmations from Gurman, it is therefore difficult
to imagine Apple missing the boat on VR and AR. The only doubt remains now
the date of finalization of the project and its presentation to the general public.
