Scoble questioned the Zeiss employees at the show after **ticing Zeiss had a booth in the Augmented Reality section of CES without showing off an Augmented Reality product. He believes Apple forced Zeiss to keep quiet about an upcoming release.
A Zeiss employee confirmed the rumors that Apple and Carl Zeiss AG are working on a light pair of Augmented reality/mixed Reality Glasses that may be an**unced this year. (I thought it was next year but **w that I saw this I believe it will happen this year).
It's **t clear how reliable Scoble's information is, but previous rumors have suggested Apple is working on a set of smart glasses that would connect wirelessly to the iPhone and display images and other information to the wearer.
Apple is said to have contacted suppliers about the project, which appears to be in the exploratory prototyping phase of development. While Scoble believes the Glasses could be released in 2017, previous information points towards a 2018 or later release.
Apple has a full team dedicated to AR/VR research and exploring how the tech**logies can be incorporated into future products. Multiple times over the past year, Tim Cook has said that Apple has a deep interest in Augmented reality. "AR can be really great. We have been and continue to invest a lot in this. We're high on AR in the long run," he said in July.
