Non-existent Apple product is third most recognized in its class
8

With the Apple iPhone struggling like it never has done before, does the tech giant have anything up its sleeve to be its next big thing? For years, there have been rumors that the company is working on AR smartglasses that at least one analyst expects to be bigger than the iPhone. We could see such a product launch as early as next year. The pressure is on Apple to deliver something spectacular, and that shows up in a report written by research firm Digi-Capital along with Augmented World Expo (AWE).
"If Apple smartglasses launch as a premium smartphone peripheral, not everyone is happy to pay for or carry two devices (e.g. Apple Watch). Apple could still sell several tens of millions of "Apple Glasses" to early-adopter consumers by 2023, which might also drive bring-your-own-device enterprise demand. Standalone smartglasses as a mass-consumer smartphone replacement look further out."-Digi-Capital
Google Glass wearer ends up questioned for three hours after getting tossed out of a movie theater

Apple is third in smartglasses even though it does not yet have such a device
Back in April 2014, Google introduced what was then called "Project Glass" by releasing a video showing what life would be like using the AR glasses. The problem with the clip was that while Google titled it "One Day," the majority of the public thought that the product was ready to do all of the things that Google showed in the video. And then there were the issues with privacy; several bars banned the AR glasses because they could take pictures on the sly. One Google Glass wearer was minding his own business and enjoying a movie when all of a sudden he was taken out of the theater by a federal agent and surrounded by 10 cops. He was questioned for three hours because the agent was concerned that the Glass wearer was filming the movie while wearing the connected specs. You might ask why someone would be wearing Google Glass inside a movie theater, and the answer makes sense. These were the prescription version of Glass and he needed to wear them to view the movie clearly. And he also had disabled the internet connection in advance, just in case.
Will Apple Glasses suffer from the same fate? At the time, the public wasn't too familiar with the concept of Augmented Reality. Now, many smartphones offer AR features and Google has just launched an AR version of Maps for pedestrians. By the time Apple Glasses are ready for public consumption, they will no doubt be welcomed with open arms. Apple has reportedly developed a new operating system for the device called rOS (the "r" stands for Reality).
