- Apple has patented a new lens system for its augmented reality glasses
- The lenses could adapt to based on your vision and surrounding conditions
- The new patent covers the possibility of reading the objective form and conditions
It’s no secret that Vision Pro -Headsets are not the final form of Apple’s Augmented Reality (AR) ambitions. The company is known for working on a set of AR glasses that may offer similar options such as Vision Pro in a far more easy package.
Now, a recently published patent has revealed a key feature that these glasses may have and it can provide a useful boost to your vision.
According to patenting Apple, Apple has patented a set of adjustable lenses that can fine -tune their curvature and optical power during the go. The patent, called “Adjustable lens with lens surface measurements,” describes a system that would also pack feedback in real -time based on sensors embedded in your glasses or headsets.
The advantage of this is that the lenses could adapt to environmental conditions, such as ambient lighting and your main position. In addition, you would be able to tailor them to your personal vision profile and ensure that you get an optimal experience based on your own vision.
Seeing the future
Apple has published similar patents in the past, but this time around there are a few new elements that we have not seen before.
It includes Lens’s sensing frames that allow you to get feedback to the user. The patent also adds various methods – such as infrared glint tracking and capacitive sensing – that let the lenses measure their own shape in real time. The scope of lens ability to detect environmental conditions and adapt to them is also new.
Rumors have suggested that Apple is launching its first pair of AR glasses in 2027, although they could be revealed as soon as next year. This idea was floated just this week by Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, who has a strong track record for Apple Leaks. If that’s correct we might not have that also Long to wait before we find out if this patent has been implemented.
That said, as with all patents, there is no guarantee that the ideas expressed by Apple will actually make it a finished product – the company can simply explore new concepts and ultimately decide to use them.
But at least the patent shows that Apple is considering the abilities and features that a set of AR glasses could be equipped with and how these new tools can benefit users in the future.
