US Pacific Time on June 3, Apple WWDC 2019 developer conference held at the microphone inside the convention center in San Jose.
In addition to tvOS, watchOS 6, the latest version of iOS13 and iPadOS, Apple also released a ARKit 3, Reality Kit and other development tools. Although a lot of dry goods WWDC conference this year, but still feel lost: the rumors of Apple's AR glasses, the delay in the launch.
All along, Apple's strict security mechanisms are known for the industry. Here, first, whether the project how Apple AR glasses concrete progress, Lei Feng network that recently Apple has a use AR technology to prevent peeping patents have been exposed, the patent can be used for business purposes only hidden secret documents to prevent outside information vent.
The latest patent exposure: prevent peeping
According to information from public disclosure, the current Apple's new augmented reality program focused on ARKit software, but with the proven patents and reliable reports, Apple has been mixed reality hardware in the study. Although the exposure of the patent document just some of the details, but other information was striking and unusual, including an application for a new business situations submitted by Patently Apple: Let the spectacle wearer according to the plan to see the real version of the secret documents and input devices , while the external observer can only see false information.
This patent describes that when people look at the screen, sitting operated with keyboard and touch screen typing, for an external observer, the screen image may appear "virtual document" or screen saver, and the people who wear glasses enhanced image to see the actual document in the same location. Similarly, the keyboard surface can be covered virtual button labels to prevent people from knowing the actual typing on physical keys or touch screen buttons content; people outside of the touch-screen buttons may not be visible to the wearer of the glasses.
Overall, the occasions in office, despite sitting next to colleagues, fuzzy screen and keyboard concept will allow people working in the same office environment able to view private documents, but such secrecy might be such an Apple Privacy the supremacy of the company is useful. Although not mentioned in the application for confidential documents, secret documents but can only be used on the AR / VR view digital lock box, rather than paper or in digital form visible to the wider distribution.
Even so, one can imagine that such a system is to focus on employee espionage is useful. Earlier this year, the FBI accused Apple employees Chen Jizhong (Jizhong Chen) interception of confidential documents from the image on the laptop screen, Apple has long undermined the secrecy in its state of development of autonomous vehicles.
As of March 2019, Apple has successfully patented head-mounted display, and its essence is to enhance physical keyboard or touch the keyboard, confidential file section is an extension of the patent. While the technology will be the clearest application in the workplace, but it can also be used for private home viewing documents.
ARKit has been updated to the third generation, AR hardware still be late
In recent years, Apple's one after another around the AR-related product line layout, in addition to AR from time to time out of patent information, there are rumors related products from time to time to attract the attention of industry professionals.
In November 2016, according to Apple AR helmet USPTO patent news release, which describes a head-mounted display apparatus to retain the screen of mobile electronic devices, operating systems and screen helmet program that allows users to "pair" or "lift" The portable electronic device.
In November 2017, according to Patently Apple exposure, US Patent and Trademark Office officially announced the 44 kinds of new patents awarded to Apple, which has a patent depicts the construction of three-dimensional content and presentation of AR technology.
April 2018 to foreign media reports, according to informed sources, Apple is developing a set of AR / VR experience one headset to connect to a dedicated box via short-range wireless technology, the monocular display reaches 8K, the device code-named "T288" , the device will be shipped in 2020.
In August 2018, Apple confirmed the acquisition of AR lenses startups Akonia Holographics, the company focused on the manufacture AR eyeglass lenses, there are more than 200 patents related to holographic systems and materials. Akonia call display technology enables "intelligent thin, transparent lens glasses display vivid, full-color, vision image."
September 2018, Patently Apple in Europe also found Apple's new patent that is closely related to the legendary apple glasses, patents headset not only supports Apple's main push of AR, has also supported VR and holographic content display. Apple patent describes in detail the embodiment of the optical waveguide, as compared to the two optical waveguides Magic Leap embodiment, apple may be displayed near the distal three image planes.
It is understood Lei network, this display system may have one or more arrays of pixels, such as liquid crystal (LCOS) array of pixels on the silicon. The image from the display system may be coupled by a coupling system to the one or more optical waveguides, of course, also possible to use the system output coupler coupled into the plurality of optical waveguides in the image plane.
Input and output coupling system may be equipped with a single coupler, the coupler array tiled stack and the coupler. These couplers may be thin planar volume hologram, it may be other optical couplers, which may be coupled to couple light into or to extend the upper and lower surfaces of strip-shaped optical waveguide.
Similarly wavelength, polarization, angle and time division multiplexing technique image signal has a different range of angular orientation, the adjustable lens techniques may be used to show the image to the user a plurality of image planes.
In recent years, Apple's emphasis on AR only to rise, in addition to around AR technology research and development related layout, its development platform ARKit AR since the 2017 launch was shortly before the WWDC 2019 conference, upgrade to ARKit 3 .
2017, Apple introduced ARKit, entered the AR industry; in 2018, Apple will ARKit upgraded to ARKit 2, carried out two updates: The new file format USDZ and multiplayer cooperation with Pixar shares AR; 2019 years ARKit 3 officially released at the same time, Apple also announced a new high-level framework RealityKit AR AR experience and the ability to easily create new applications Reality Composer.
ARKit 3 introduces real-time human shield, it is possible to know the location and the AR object, a scene properly blocked. Not only that, it can through motion capture, tracking human movement, as an AR scene input. Meanwhile, ARKit 3, before and after the two devices can now use the camera simultaneously, thus, the user's facial expression can also be part of AR experience.
In addition to simultaneously use two cameras, real-time collaboration session between multiple face tracking and multiplayer is where ARKit Highlight 3, which allows users to have a more diverse AR experience.
ARKit 3 upgrade is carried out on the basis of the original ARKit; different from ARKit 3, this year for the first time published RealityKit and Reality Composer is more novel.
RealityKit is a new high-level framework, with photorealistic rendering, camera effects, animation, physics and other functions, is designed for augmented reality constructed. It is more than capable of handling network AR applications, which means that developers do not need to be a network engineer will be able to develop a shared AR experience.
Reality Composer is a new development program, not only for iOS, can also be used in macOS in. This tool allows developers to create visually AR scene, and the ability to add movement in the scene, zooming and rotation animation. Moreover, developers can also set the animation: perform an operation when the user taps an object, a user approaches an object, or activate other triggers.
Although Above, now, ARKit has been updated to the third generation, AR hardware but still late, rumored for a long time Apple is still unable to launch AR glasses.
But Apple's patent application for a large number of AR, AR acquisitions and start-ups ARKit test software functionality, its AR glasses may have already developed an "open secret", just waiting for Apple to disclose details of it.
Apple AR glasses or accessories for the iPhone
AR on when Apple released the hardware, there may be a key consideration: it is a new, stand-alone computing platform, or just as iPhone accessories?
If Apple AR glasses are independent computing platform, similar to Microsoft's HoloLens or Magic Leap One, then Apple will require substantial new information to share with the developer. So in theory, at WWDC conference to share information about this product will be a good opportunity; if it is just a iPhone accessories, according to the progress of the completion of the hardware, then WWDC, 9 conference Yuefen iPhone, or later, all It may become a particular point in time the hardware release.
With the release of tvOS, watchOS 6, iOS13 iPadOS and upgrade the operating system, as well as ARKit 3, Reality Kit and other development tools, now WWDC 2019 has ended, the contents of the General Assembly itself has also been rich enough. Lei Feng network (public number: Lei Feng network) has learned that Apple's AR glasses failed to appear, on the one hand may be due to Apple's developers do not want to disperse the attention of system upgrades as well as new development tools, on the other hand, at WWDC on 2019, in addition to Apple upgraded the ARKit, also announced a new advanced framework RealityKit AR and AR experience to easily create a new application Reality Composer.
For those who look forward to the conference and Apple iPhone AR glasses, the WWDC this will be a natural and exciting transition.
In addition, according to foreign media reports, the most likely scenario is that Apple's iPhone AR glasses as accessories, similar to the beginning of the release of the Apple Watch as this means that developers will not have to conduct in-depth development on the new AR-specific platform. How about Apple hardware works and AR developers to add an existing iPhone application for its support, but also need to wait for Apple to disclose details, but initial support for third-party may be less important.
Apple mobile phone analyst Kuo Ming-Ji also show that Apple's AR glasses will mainly play the role of monitor, through wireless computing, networking and location functionality to the iPhone. The AR glasses designed for iPhone accessories are also expected to keep it slim and light, rather than trying to deal with all the hardware into a single device.
"Apple Q4 AR glasses will be available this production, if release strategy is similar to the iPhone, at least the first two months of accumulated capacity before opening the conference. If not, this may also be the final product as the first generation of Apple Watch, AirPods as early release, and then decides to mass production scheduled time by the consumer. "
