Apple Glass should have revolutionary system that dispenses the use of glasses

Patent showing a different model of Apple Glass brings a system that would make the device meet the need for corrective lenses

One of the most anticipated devices by fans of Apple the legendary Apple Glass the smart glasses of the company that for years appears in rumors and patents, but that until now has not been officially presented to the public. Since rumors about the device began to emerge, one of the most talked about possible functions was that of a technology that would allow people who need to wear glasses to use only the Apple Glass and continue to see normally – and a newly discovered patent increased the chances of this being true.

In general, augmented reality glasses like what should be Apple Glass they are a martyrdom for people who have vision problems and need to use eyeglasses to see, since it requires the use of two glasses, placing the electronic equipment over the ordinary glasses something that, besides being totally uncomfortable, looks weird for anyone to use during their routine I would say.

But, according to a patent found this Tuesday (16) at the United States Patent and Registry Office, the Apple could have the solution to this problem. This is because the patent shows a kind of smartglass with a system of optical subsets, which would adjust according to the user's needs.

This would allow that, based on the prescription of the ophthalmologist, it would be possible to insert which degrees of correction in the program of this equipment and he would automatically adjust his lenses to correct the refraction and reflection of the light according to the medical prescription, functioning as well as a prescription glasses that he has. also all the other functions of a smartglass.

In addition, the patent also states that the glasses can automatically detect and correct some vision problems by scanning the user's retina. Because it is a patent made to register an idea, the explanation of how this system would work is not exactly detailed, and it is not known what the limit that the device would be able to correct by itself, and what it would need to configure the lens from a prescription medical for corrective lenses.

Although this whole system of automatic correction of vision imperfections seems something worthy of a science fiction film, the design of the device shown in the patent is not something that can be called futuristic, and it looks like a mixture between a common glasses and a virtual reality display of the type you need to connect your smartphone to work.

And everything indicates that it is really this type of device that is being discussed in this patent found, since the text on it talks about the possibility of an external visualization mode, which would allow the user to use the camera of the device to see what happens next. around. This placement implies that the normal use of the device is through an internal view – just like in any virtual reality glasses.

Thus, there is a great possibility that the apparatus presented in this patent will not be exactly the same Apple Glass rumored for years, but a new device from Apple which can function both as an augmented reality glasses and as a virtual reality display.

Meanwhile, if the automatic lens adjustment system is true, possibly it will be used not only in this particular model, but also in other smart glasses of the Apple. However, this system should not be present in the first model, which should be announced by 2021 if the rumors are correct.

It is also necessary to remember that, like every patent, it only serves to have an idea of ​​what development paths are being taken by the company, and there is no guarantee that equipment registered in patents will be manufactured at some point.
