According to the media reports, a new Apple patent application describes a technology that uses eyes to control augmented reality (AR) glasses (Apple Glass). The patent application describes eye tracking technology, which can realize eye control devices through eyeball rotation, blinking, and gaze. Gazing for a few seconds may automatically trigger an enlarged view.
Apple said that Apple Glass may have a touch interface, users can use "touch input, such as click input and sliding input", and can also be controlled by the voice assistant Siri.
The company also stated that the patent is not limited to Apple Glass AR products, it can be used on any device equipped with a camera, but it will be more useful for AR devices.
In late May of this year, Jon Prosser, a well-known whistleblower and analyst, once shared some details about the rumored Apple Glass, including the name, price, function and so on.
Prosser said that Apple will name these AR glasses as "Apple Glass" , the starting price of this glasses is $ 499. When wearing Apple glasses, users will rely on gestures to control the user interface.
It is reported that Apple originally planned to release "Apple Glass" in the fourth quarter of 2020 or the first quarter of 2021, but the new coronavirus pandemic may affect this Apple Glass plan.
This week, the media reported that Apple AR eyeglass lenses have entered the trial production stage, but the trial production of such lenses does not mean that the Apple Glass will be available soon.
The source said that Apple Glass will take at least one to two years to achieve mass production. Earlier, there were reports that Apple’s AR helmets and Apple Glass would be released at least two years later. If everything goes according to plan, AR helmets and Apple Glass should be released in 2022.
