Apple apparently developed augmented reality glasses supplied by its Mac computers, but it canceled the project even before the company could announce it. According to BloombergApple canceled the program this week because the product did not work well when the managers tested it and the company continued to modify the features it wanted for the device. The glasses, although still fed by Visionos, were not supposed to be the direct successor of the Pro vision. They were not a helmet, but a pair of glasses of normal appearance instead.
Bloomberg Said that Apple originally wanted the AR glasses to be powered by the iPhone, but the smartphone did not have the treatment capacity to maintain the functionality of the device. They also emptied the iPhone battery. Abandoned AR glasses had integrated screens that can project information, images and videos in the user’s field of vision. They were lighter than the pro vision and did not show the eyes of the wearer as the helmet the case, but they had objectives that could change their shade to show if the user works on a task or is not busy and can be approached. Bloomberg compared the product canceled at Xreal’s One glasses and at Orion prototype Meta revealed last year. While the Orion must be twinned with a "wireless calculation washer" To operate, it does not need to be connected to a computer or a phone.
Apple developed glasses as an appearance that people can use every day. One of the problems he would have faced is that people who already have the pro vision do not use it as much as the company. However, employees are part of the company Vision Products group would have thought that the project suffered from a lack of concentration and clear management. Apple still works on a successor to the pro vision, however, and he always seeks to develop AR glasses in the future. He also continues to work on the technologies used by abandoned glasses, such as microled type screens, for future projects.
