News about Apple Glass
The first generation of ‘Apple Glass’ will weigh around 300-400 grams, quite light if we compare them with the virtual reality glasses on the market. In addition, Kuo indicates that Apple is already working on a design for the second generation that will be significantly lighter.
On the other hand, Kuo informs that the device will incorporate 3D sensors more advanced than the ones Apple uses for Face ID on iPhones and iPads. The glasses will have up to 4 3D sensors and will be able to detect much more distant objects, up to 200% further than current Face ID sensors according to Kuo.
These sensors would allow Apple to create a innovative motion and gesture detection system that will allow to control the device through movements with our hands. In addition, they will have eye tracking, iris recognition, voice control, skin detection, facial expression detection and spatial detection.
In terms of sales, Kuo expects Apple to sell between 2.5 and 3.5 million units of first-generation glasses during 2023. The second generation will launch in 2024, and Apple expects demand to grow significantly as the product evolves. This second generation could sell about 10 million units.
Rumors also indicate that this will be an extremely expensive device, above 1,000 euros. It will be independent of the iPhone and the Mac by having a chip with a level of processing similar to the M1, and will have a high-resolution screen for each eye.
