Apple is testing near-eye glasses

It is important to note that Apple has ordered a small number of near-eye displays for testing the possibilities of AR powered Eye-Glasses, but has not purchased enough large scale production, the report added.

Expected to be Apple's Greatest Tech-Venture

The new product is expected to be one of the greatest technological ventures in the market. Similar to this idea, was Google's Glasses, a device received plenty of attention when it was launched in 2012. However, it was a failure attempt due to its awkward appearance and privacy concerns over video recording.

With Virtual Reality headsets like Google's Daydream View, Facebook's Ocular VR and Samsung VR Gear already ruling the market this new venture into the AR space will pose a tough competition to the existing production with high-end tech features.
