Apple Partnering With Carl Zeiss For Potential iPhone 8 Augmented Reality Glasses
2017 is set to be a big year for Apple. First, there is news on the iPhone 8.
The recent iPhone 7 series wasn’t a big upgrade from the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, but the iPhone 8 series upgrade is going to be huge. According to 9to5Mac, we may see 4.7-inch to 5.8-inch curved OLED displays, an all-glass design with new colors, wireless charging, an embedded (into the screen) home button, and something that has to do with augmented reality.
BGR describes how Apple may incorporate augmented reality with their next smartphone in 2017.
“The way Apple envisions implementing augmented reality into the iPhone is multi-faceted. For instance, Apple envisions iPhone users being able to point their cameras at any number of objects and have the device itself recognize what’s in frame,” says columnist Yoni Heisler.
Now, it has been revealed that Apple has been working with Carl Zeiss on Augmented reality glasses. MacRumors has the news.
“Apple and German company Carl Zeiss AG are working together on a pair of augmented reality smart glasses that could be announced as soon as this year, claims well-known blogger Robert Scoble in a Facebook post.”
The article adds that according to Scoble, a Zeiss employee confirmed the partnership between the two companies that was revealed during a conversation at the recent CES show. Apple has allegedly already contacted suppliers about the project, which appears to be in the exploratory prototyping phase of development. While Scoble believes the glasses could be released in 2017, others say we won’t be able to experience Apple’s augemented reality until 2018.
