What They Say
MacRumors reported that respected Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo as forecasting that Apple would use a hybrid Fresnel lens stack (with three lenses per eye) based on optical plastic to minimise weight in its widely rumoured AR glasses. The headset may come in at less than 150gms (5.3 oz) and is expected to follow a VR or XR headset.
The lightweight lenses are said to be primarily supplied by Young Optics with Genius Electronic Optical also pitching in, but they won’t come cheaply and will contribute to a high overall price for the headset
What We Think
Well, it has felt a bit like ‘Ming-Chi Kuo’ Daily at DD Towers, recently. Still, he is widely regarded and Apple’s wealth and importance mean that anything he says gets attention. (BR)
