Apple develops smart glasses to compete with Meta's augmented reality advancements

Apple is developing its own smart glasses to compete with Meta's recent advancements in augmented reality. The Vision Products Group aims to create a product that matches the capabilities of Meta's Orion AR glasses and Ray-Ban smart glasses. Apple's Vision Pro headset has not gained widespread popularity, prompting the company to explore new hardware innovations. Reports suggest that Apple plans to leverage the Vision Pro's technology to enhance its upcoming smart glasses. The XR wearables market is evolving, with competitors like Meta offering affordable options. Apple’s entry into this space could reshape the landscape, but it will take time before their smart glasses are available.
