Following on from earlier reports surrounding Apple's plans for augmented reality, new sources have come to light to reveal more about the company's own augmented reality glasses. Apparently, Apple has been working on its one Augmented Reality smart glasses for more than a year already, with plans to possibly unveil them next year.
This particular report comes from Financial Times, whose sources back up earlier reports surrounding Apple's plans for Augmented Reality, with hundreds of engineers already working on AR-related projects. We may start to see the fruit of this labour later this year with new augmented reality camera features for the next iPhone.

More interestingly though, the report goes into more detail on when Apple's plans started forming. Apparently, Apple began looking into the feasibility of a head mounted device over a year ago and is now assigning more employees to the project to take it from the experimental stage and turn it into something that could be a consumer product.
However, a launch is still at least a year away but could end up being “much longer”, depending on how quickly Apple can get the technology to the point it needs to be.
KitGuru Says: It is starting to sound like perhaps Augmented Reality has taken over from self-driving cars as Apple's largest ‘secret' project. It will certainly be interesting to see what the company can come up with, alongside how competing companies like Microsoft will respond.
They can call in the iEye. :p
“More than a year”… took them quite long to steal and copy this time, eh?
Why is everyone acting like AR is a new thing, I got my Japanese PSP Vita in 2011 and it came with a pack of AR cards, it wasn’t even a new idea then. Everyone gets caught up in this race to be first when really it should be a race to be best.
I see what you did there, they can’t call it the iEye! Pirates have been using that for years.
The made a compatible cover called the Ipad 🙂
Oh but wait for it when Apple releases their new toy it will be deemed revolutionary and the first of it’s kind to ever be made and everyone else has copied their idea yet again. I am going to assume that the logo with the Apple and the word Glass is just something you guys put there since Google already used the term Google Glass..lol I would also hope device just attaches to a set of glasses since the ones in the picture are very dorky looking and Apple don’t like unpolished dorky crap well unless Dorky is now the new cool I guess…lmao
Owner of Facebook!, is giving advice folks to get started with “Work at home” method, that Loads of people have been doing more than 12 months now. This season alone, I generated around $36k presently with no more than my laptop or computer and some extra time, even though i have a full-time 9 to 5 job. Even most people new at all to this, can make $50/per h easily and the earnings may go much higher as time passes… This is how i started >> http://urlfat.com/4BH
