Security Concerns Of The Apple Glasses
In a recently leaked patten, it seems as if Apple is keeping in mind a lot of the security and privacy concerns people may have with the apple glasses. One of the biggest concerns potential users have is the glasses’ filming ability. So rumors have it that Apple is exploring different ways in which the Apple Glasses won’t secretly record people against their wishes. One of the ideas that Apple is said to be considering is making the camera module detachable. The modular accessory would also allow businesses such as bars and cinemas to ban the modular accessory while still allowing people to wear the glasses without it.
Apple may be planning to implement lights that would illuminate when the device is recording, but attempting to do so may cause the camera to stop working. The idea behind this patent is that the lights on the camera would pulsate in an encrypted manner while the lens captures images of reflections in the recorded environment. If the camera can’t identify the pattern, the recording would automatically stop.
How Much Will The Apple Glasses Cost?
Just like anything else Apple, the glasses are going to be expensive. The current estimate is that they will cost around $500. However, this is just a guess, and the price could change by the time they are released. The Oculus Quest costs $399, and the HoloLens 2 costs $5000. The biggest question on whether or not the Apple Glasses will be similar in price to Oculus or if they will be closer to the Hololens is their relation to the iPhone.
As mentioned earlier, if the glasses are released as just an iPhone accessory, they won’t have to rely on internal tech for processing, making them much cheaper to produce. However, if they are a stand-alone product, like the HoloLens 2, there is a good chance you will be looking at a much higher price.
Conclusion
Apple Glasses are coming soon, and there is a lot of speculation about what they will be like. Some believe that they will be a game-changer for how we interact with technology, while others think they will be another flop from Apple. For the most part, you will have to wait and see! However, with all the information getting leaked or those close to the project speculating on potential features, a bit of a framework is created on what this highly anticipated tech may look like!
