- ghaff 2y agoI mean, if you're Apple, of course you're doing research on what is possible with respect to "smart" eyewear. I'm not convinced anything really interesting is possible in the near-term. But a company in Apple's space with their cash pile would be utterly short-sighted to not be looking at various possibilities. After all, they did a watch when a lot of the common wisdom was that young people don't wear watches any longer.
- duxup 2y agoYeah I thought of that too. I'm sure Apple is researching a lot. But research and actual product getting out the door are different things. I was listening to a Steve Jobs interview and he told a story that they were working on a tablet, but once they saw what it could do they shelved it and went to work on the iPhone instead because they thought it was more relevant there. That's to say, who knows what happens with this research.
- ghaff 2y agoRight. I think really good AR glasses are a really interesting concept. I'm very skeptical there's anything mainstream on the near-term horizon. But, if you're Apple, it would be practically malfeasance not to be poking at the space.
- weberer 2y agoBecause the link is to blogspam. The real source is Bloomberg https://archive.is/qLqaF https://archive.is/qLqaF They're developing two different models of glasses with cameras, completely ignoring the creepyness issues that made everyone hate Google Glass. If you're hoping for simple glasses with a HUD for notifications, time, etc, then don't hold your breath for the Apple glasses.
