Apple is making smart glasses and they will have cameras in them, AirPods too may get a camera

Apple has been working on smart glasses for a while now, according to multiple reports. In fact, CEO Tim Cook is said to be so invested in the project that he “cares about nothing else,” but building and one-upping existing hardware with far superior tech and hopefully, functionality. Buzz also has it that Cupertino is planning to equip its smart glasses with cameras and microphones. Smarter AirPods with infrared cameras are also apparently in the works.

In his latest Power On letter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said that Apple’s smart glasses project, code-named N50, is under development. The company is aiming to create these smart glasses as a true "Apple Intelligence" device.

Unlike full-fledged augmented reality (AR) headsets, Apple wants its smart glasses to use onboard cameras and sensors to analyse the wearer’s surroundings and provide contextual information, feeding real-time data to AI systems. “The product will analyse the surrounding environment and feed information to the wearer, though it will stop well short of true augmented reality,” Gurman reported.

But this project is “not close to being ready yet” and likely won’t hit the market any time soon.
