La augmented reality it is a technology that everyone pursues. Apple got into it with the release of its ARKit development kit, and then the subsequent release of the iPhone X. Developers begin to build tools and applications around this kit and the App Store already has thousands of apps based on this technology.
According to Gene Munster, those of Cupertino could launch his augmented reality glasses, the Apple Glasses, in 2021, three years from now. In these three years, Apple would further develop its tools and profile the use they want to give to this device, in case it was launched on the market. Price estimates put it around $ 1300.
Do we need virtual reality glasses? Apple glasses would arrive in 2021
At present the use that should be given to virtual reality glasses. Currently, the two most important tools at the level of augmented reality is Snapchat, which has been working a lot with this technology lately, and the popular game Pokémon GO, which a few days ago announced that they would soon begin to create an augmented reality map.
Apple wanted to enter this world by buying the company SensoMotoric, a leading German company in the creation of augmented and virtual reality models and processes of eye tracking. This together with their own development kit shows us that within Cupertino they are thinking in something more than a couple of applications: the Apple Glasses?
According to reporter Gene Munster, Apple could launch its own smart glasses in 2021. It is an immature project so the information is almost non-existent, but if you talk about that in the first year of launch Apple could generate 13 billion dollars, since each device would have a value of $ 1300.
Guner has also spoken about the possible Titan Project, Apple's autonomous car, which has been talked about so much in recent months. The reporter commented that there are currently two lines of work: creating your own car with the help of a manufacturer, or designing powerful software / hardware that they could sell to large car companies.
