Apple will begin production of its augmented reality glasses codenamed 'Project Start Board' later this year, and will launch in the second quarter of 2020, according to a reliable information source, according to the TOMS Guide website.
The source of this information is Apple's well-known analyst, Ming Chi-ku, who has an accurate outlook on Apple products. He confirmed this in a report to his clients at TF International Securities, and went even further in naming the company that will provide Apple with the structure of the glasses, a company Chinese "Changing Precision".
Co had been expecting Apple to arrive in 2020 for some time, drawing information from sources within the US supply chain.
In that report, which was also presented by Bloomberg News, Ko said the glasses would not have a built-in image processor or CPU, but would rely on connecting to an iPhone to provide an augmented reality experience for users.
The augmented reality glasses will come equipped with a screen, sensor camera and wireless electronics, making it lighter and less battery consumption than Microsoft Hololens 2 and other augmented reality glasses, and Apple's augmented reality glasses will also be cheaper than competing glasses, Kuo said in his report.
