According to Blooomberg News‘ Mark Gurman, Apple’s Vision group is developing a pair of lightweight smartglasses, which may someday compete Ray-Ban Meta and other similar glasses.

Kyle Barr for Gizmodo:

The glasses could produce audio and use their cameras to take pictures. Those sensors could also use AI to detect objects in the world, which Meta has implemented on its pair of smart glasses over more than half a year.

Whatever Apple’s glasses end up looking like, they won’t be a full pair of AR glasses… There are a host of technical challenges, from weight to connectivity to power, and Apple doesn’t yet have the answers to those issues.

According to Gurman’s regular anonymous sources, the next Apple Vision headset could be released as soon as 2025. We still don’t know how Apple will bring down the price enough while maintaining the qualities of its micro-OLED displays and complicated hand-tracking camera array.

  1. Now this is what I’m interested in over AVP. It doesn’t need to be much more sophisticated than showing notifications and information (like workouts and reminders) from my Apple Watch or iPhone. Hands-free photos and video recording would be cool too.
