Apple could unveil its first pair of smart glasses – an augmented reality headset – at the tech giant's annual developer conference today (Monday, June 6).
The iPhone maker has long been rumoured to be working on a mixed reality wearable device, which would enable users to see virtual items overlaid on the real world in front of them. Ahead of the company’s annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), reports suggest Apple preview the device alongside a new dedicated software platform thought to be called RealityOS.
The California firm traditionally used the conference to introduce new versions of the software that powers the iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or Mac computers. But this year there have been suggestions that some new MacBook laptops could be announced, as well as the M2 – a second-generation Apple-own computer chip – to boost computer performance even further.
Last month, Apple announced a new range of accessibility tools designed to make their devices easier to use for those with disabilities, as could another recent focus for the company – user privacy.
The conference starts at 6pm UK time tonight (Monday), livestreamed on Apple’s website, with an opening keynote speech from Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive.
