Smartglasses are a type of wearable technology that combines the functionality of a computer with the convenience of eyeglasses. They come in a variety of styles and designs and are used for a variety of tasks, from entertainment and communication to navigation and health monitoring. Smartglasses are becoming increasingly popular, and news about them is constantly being reported. Here are some of the latest news, articles, and videos about smartglasses. 1. Google Launches Enterprise Edition of Their Smartglasses: Google recently announced the launch of their new enterprise edition of their smartglasses. The glasses are designed to help businesses better manage their operations and improve employee efficiency. 2. Apple Unveils Augmented Reality Smartglasses: Apple has recently unveiled their new line of augmented reality smartglasses. The glasses are designed to provide users with a more immersive experience and allow them to interact with digital content in the real world. 3. Qualcomm Unveils New Smartglasses Platform: Qualcomm has recently unveiled their latest smartglasses platform. The platform is designed to make it easier for developers to create apps for smartglasses and enable new use cases. 4. Vuzix Introduces Smartglasses with Voice-Activated AI
Apple has designed Vision Pro to use simple hand gestures to control elements of visionOS. This is accomplished by using a series of sophisticated cameras tracking a user's eyes and hands. Yet for future smartglasses, televisions, Macs and wearables, such cameras are not available to control a device. For these devices, Apple is continuing to work on a smart ring system.
Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple a patent that relates to head-mountable devices such as smartglasses and/or a cheaper Vision headset, and, more particularly, to removable accessory devices for such devices. Apple lists a number of possible attachable accessories including higher-end cameras, microphones to capture directional audio...
Yesterday the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple a patent that relates to extended reality (XR) environments and future devices that will provide visualization of non-visible phenomena.
With Apple Vision Pro now a reality, it's safe to assume that various engineering teams at Apple, under their headset team, are working on multiple future HMD devices including an entry-level Vision headset, future smartglasses and perhaps, according to 17 patents on record, a media glasses accessory for iPhone.
In the last year or two we've reported on a wide variety of display types that Apple has shown interest in including, OLED, Hybrid-OLED, microLED (01, 02 and 03), OLEDoS and LEDoS. In July we posted a report titled Future Tech: For Smartglasses, Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) is reportedly superior to LEDoS. An Apple patent published this week covers the possible use of LCoS displays in the future
Earlier this morning, Patently Apple posted a report titled "Apple continues to Explore the use of LCoS Displays in Future Devices such as AR Smartglasses, Macs and more." In another patent that we discovered in Europe this morning, we see that Apple is also working in parallel on a similar display technology that they refer to as ferroelectric liquid crystal on silicon (fLCoS) display panel. Apple's display team have worked on this since 2020.
Today, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple two HMD patents. The first relates to a head-mountable device (Apple Vision) that can provide passive cooling while the second relates to using their Digital Crown to control the UI of future smartglasses
Today the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that demonstrates their ongoing work in placing their various face cameras under the display. Apple's latest patent presents a possible solution in hiding the cameras under the display so as to provide users with a full-face display. Apple's patent applies to multiple current and future devices such as iPhone, MacBook and smartglasses.
