Kuo: Apple May Release Augmented Reality Contact Lenses in 2030s

[sirdir]

They may have teleportation in 2050.

 

[techpr]

The future is ours.

 

[tobiastimpe]

This is pretty much the endgame in non-invasive AR technology. Now make the thing easy to put in and take out please.

 

[easy4lif]

I look forward to the day Apple gives up all this tech stuff and decides to just print money.

 

[johannnn]

These guys can barely predict what Apple is gonna do next quarter. Now they're predicting what Apple is gonna do in TEN years???

 

[t0pher]

May as well just say Apple will merge with KF-McDonalds and release these lenses alongside augmented reality eating.

 

[Glideslope]

Can’t imagine these not being called Apple Lens. I prefer iSight though lol...

I still have my iSight Web Cam from the early 2000's in the Basement Archives.

 

[Feyl]

Apple will finally be able to not only control of what we hear, see and say online, but control the reality too. No seriously, this won’t probably see the light of the day.

 

[pacalis]

Kuo believes Apple's headset has the potential to provide an "immersive experience that is significantly better than existing VR products."

Hmmm... This Kuo guy seems suspicious. My crystal ball is showing that by 2025 the experience is going to be much, much worse than existing VR.

 

[bluespark]

In a surprising move, this also will be the product in which Apple resurrects the backlit Apple logo.

 

[iapplelove]

They can’t even get auto correct to work decent. And Siri sucks. Bravo apple

 

[littyboy]

Calm down Kuo... let's focus on getting 1-year predictions correct first...

 

[NightFox]

Don’t forget the 2040s where injectables will be super hip. Apple will sell the iInject for .0000178172 bitcoin, and then they’ll lock off the inject store to just their approved injects.

By the 2040s I think I'll need a super hip.

 

[reyesmac]

All I want to know is, how much will an adequate graphics card cost by then?

 

[lbmdk1]

They promised us flying cars in the 1950s. That never happened either.

 

[0924487]

Exams? Nude beach?

 

[cwwilson]

The next step will be like in Cyberpunk 2077 where you can get your entire eyeballs swapped out for digital ones.

 

[Cyprusian]

Given that I prefer glasses to contact lenses, there's no way I would contemplate putting augmented reality contact lenses into my eyes....

 

[Rand0mUs3r]

Lol the glasses aren’t even announced yet and we’re already getting rumors like this

 

[Maconplasma]

Another stupid rumor. Apple would never do this. One of the reasons the entire idea is stupid is because you have to stick this in your eye and there are a great deal of people who can't even wear contacts due to having astigmatism. This would be a niche product that only a few people who want to brag on social media for having until the honeymoon is over and they'll be thrown in someone's desk. It's easier, faster and safer to wear goggles.

 

[The Cappy]

Well yes. That and the hover-car they might make.

 

[dlopan]

In 1950's computers were the size of a Costco. Now I walk into a Costco with my iPhone on my belt which is thousands of times faster then those early mainframe computers. So anything is possible with technology. High speed bluetooth, body puts off electrical power which electronics could use. Super small micro video cameras, Ultra micro LED displays, headphones that smaller and smaller which fits inside your ear or bone conducting. Augmented glasses first, but most people don't want to wear glass or want to use when doing sports. Can you imagine the Olympics in 16 years where you will be able to see the athletes playing sports and seeing it from their view or they can get information back about how they are doing during the event!

If you can image it you can do it these days. The athletes will be able to tell what they did wrong instantly. One of thousands of possibilites. Military apps come to mind.

 

[The Game 161]

Kuo just talking for sake of getting attention now

 

[MICHAELSD]

Great, another way to get migraines.

 

[Zoboomafoo]

Those predictions are becoming a joke at this point. Next prediction, Apple will release X ray bionic eyes by 2050.

They better be available in project (red) or it’s no sale for me
