Apple is preparing to enter the smart glasses market through a new project based on artificial intelligence, in a move that aims to provide a light and simple device that focuses on voice interaction and gestures instead of traditional screens, which may radically change the way we use daily technology.
The company is working on developing a new generation of smart glasses supported by artificial intelligence as part of its drive to expand into the wearable devices market, in a manner different from competitors such as Meta.
According to recent technical reports, the upcoming glasses will focus on simplicity and artificial intelligence rather than complex augmented reality technologies or integrated screens, in an attempt to provide a smoother user experience.
Light design
Apple aims to produce light glasses that can be worn all day without discomfort, with a design closer to regular glasses than a high-tech device. This trend reflects the company’s desire to integrate technology unobtrusively into daily life instead of heavy devices.
Reports indicate that in the first version, the company deliberately avoids adding a display screen or complex components, with the aim of reducing weight and improving battery life.
Dual cameras
One of the most prominent expected features is the presence of a two-camera system, one for photography and video, and the other with low resolution dedicated to understanding the environment and tracking hand movement, allowing intelligent interaction with the surrounding world without the need for buttons or direct touch.
Integrate with Siri
The glasses will rely heavily on the Siri voice assistant and artificial intelligence, where commands can be executed with voice or gestures only, such as taking photos, making calls, or obtaining instant information. The company is also working on developing a more advanced version of the Assistant to understand context more deeply.
Improved battery
Apple is focusing on optimizing power consumption so that Glasses can last all day on a single charge, thanks to reducing heavy components and eliminating screens.
Integration with Apple ecosystem
The glasses are expected to integrate with the company’s other devices such as the iPhone and Apple Watch, allowing a unified experience that includes notifications, sync, and voice control, as part of a broader strategy to make artificial intelligence a major focus in its future products.
