Apple has pulled out of the AR glasses project, which required a Mac to operate. This is a strategic change. The goal is to develop standalone AR glasses that do not need other devices. Earlier prototype glasses, presumably like the RayNeo Air 2S, boasted high-quality components and were priced accordingly.
Head of Apple hardware, John Ternus, has been careful about launching additional products. He works to maintain standards for good quality and does not want to go ahead with a product that may offend users. Thus, the focus has now exactly turned to developing a version of the glasses that will be working independently. This new strategy aligns with the expensive prototypes that Meta unveiled last fall to demonstrate advanced AR technology.
Apple’s Vision Products Group is working on the core technologies required for these glasses. Their main focus is on improving display screens and processing chips. In spite of all the hard work, however, analysts argue that the glasses won’t probably be ready for the live market for at least three to five years.
Earlier visions with the visions have already given a good foundation for this project within the firm. This further signals that Apple is moving toward something promising. Then, when these glasses are finally released, hopefully, they will deliver something that seems altogether fresh and unique for the AR space.
