• Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) has indefinitely delayed the launch of its most revered Apple Glasses headsets.
• The delay was based on the fact that Apple is facing significant technical difficulties to develop the product at this time.
• The AR Headsets are designed to work like the Google Glass smart glasses that are lightweight and offer digital representation that is overlaid with the real world as compared to the virtual world as presented by its Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality headsets.
American multinational technology giant Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) has announced that it has indefinitely postponed the launch of its Apple Glasses, a product that was highly anticipated by the tech industry. The decision to delay the launch was based on the fact that Apple is facing significant technical difficulties to develop the product at this time.
The news comes after about a year when Bloomberg shared an update that Apple is actually considering postponing the launch date of the AR headsets until this year. Much work has already been committed to the development of the AR Glasses, however, the company will slow down on its efforts in this regard.
The AR Headsets are designed to work like the Google Glass smart glasses that are lightweight and offer digital representation that is overlaid with the real world as compared to the virtual world as presented by its Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality headsets. The primary goal of the AR Glasses is to bridge the gap between the digital and physical world to make the experience of using technology more seamless and natural.
Apple had been working on the product for quite a while now, even going so far as to hire some of the industry’s brightest minds to lead the project. However, it seems that the company has encountered some unforeseen obstacles in the development process that have caused them to delay the project.
While Apple has made it a more productive venture to focus its developmental efforts on AR/VR headsets and to find ways to make them more affordable, its focus is also on what the future of communication will evolve into eventually. Unfortunately, the delay of the Apple Glasses indicates that the tech giant may need to re-strategize and take a different approach to its AR/VR product development.
It remains unclear when the Apple Glasses will be ready for launch, or if the project will even make it to the market. Despite the delay, Apple is still dedicated to providing customers with the latest technology and innovative products that can bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds. Only time will tell if the Apple Glasses will be the company’s next big breakthrough.
