Apple has reportedly decided to set aside plans for developing a pair of smart glasses that were intended to connect with Mac devices, as per Bloomberg reports. The glasses were rumored to feature advanced projectors for incorporating augmented reality elements. The project, known internally as N107, aimed to provide smart glasses with built-in displays that could be connected to a Mac for enhanced functionalities.
Despite the cancellation or postponement of the AR smart glasses project, Apple seems to be focusing on creating a more affordable version of its Vision Pro headset. While the company has not confirmed the development of the smart glasses publicly, there are indications that Apple is still working on wearable technology like AirPods with camera features. The overall vision for Apple appears to include standalone AR glasses in the future.
In the smart glasses arena, competition is ramping up with companies like Samsung, Google, Meta, and Snapchat also working on their own versions of smart eyewear. Apple’s move to shelve the Mac-connecting smart glasses project signals a shift towards more accessible and standalone AR glasses in the future. The company’s ongoing efforts to enhance wearable technology and potentially introduce features like AirPods with cameras indicate a strategic push towards innovation and market relevance.
