Would you wear Apple smart glasses? (Poll)

Apple, Meta and Microsoft: each and every one of them sees the bread in the ‘smart glasses’. Tech companies think headsets are the future, but would you wear one too? Cast your vote in our poll.

Poll: whether or not to wear smart glasses

Meta (the company behind Facebook) is fully committed to the metaverse: a kind of virtual world that blurs the boundaries between ‘real’ life and the internet. You gain access to that metaverse by putting smart glasses on your head.

Large tech companies such as Microsoft and Apple have also been working on smart glasses for years. The industry clearly sees benefits in it, but does this also apply to the people who have to walk around with it on a daily basis? In other words: would you wear smart glasses?

This is what Apple is working on

Apple Glass, Apple View or iGlass: no one knows what the new glasses from Apple will be called, but it is clear that they are working on it. In recent years, the product has invariably cropped up in patents and elaborated concepts.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known analyst in the Apple world, the company is even working on three buttocks. First, a headset with augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) seems to be coming out. This one would look like competing headsets, like the one from Oculus (which again falls under Meta).

After that, according to Kuo, Apple will work on a headset that actually looks like glasses. These glasses would only have AR. You then see a virtual layer over reality. This is useful, for example, when you are navigating and arrows indicate which way to go.

According to the expert, Apple is also working on smart contact lenses in the background. Details about this are still lacking, because the project is still in the early stages.
