According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple surveyed a small number of employees to get their thoughts on its new smart glasses. Apple uses what are known as focus groups when it decides to introduce a new product to users. Gurman notes that this method is common for Apple because it keeps its plans under wraps.

While the product is still several years away, Apple is considering making smart glasses similar to Meta’s Ray-Ban sunglasses. Meta’s glasses have a camera and built-in artificial intelligence so users can ask questions about anything around them and get accurate answers.

Gorman believes Apple could design a simple set of glasses with a camera and built-in speakers for listening to music, as well as integration with Siri. It could also include some health features. Apple's smart glasses would essentially be an upgraded version of its headphones. AirPods With a number of additional capabilities and features.

Of course, Apple's smart glasses will not be able to provide the same experience as Vision Pro. But the company wants to compete with Meta with glasses that include a camera, speakers, and artificial intelligence. In addition to boosting its profits in the wearable devices market.

Gorman says that Apple has not been able to make advanced augmented reality glasses, due to high costs and technical limitations that the company's engineers have not yet overcome.

Finally, Apple will use the survey it conducted among its employees to collect feedback on Meta Glasses and competing glasses. In order to gain valuable information about the features that users prefer. And then introduce smart glasses that can compete in the market and double its sales.
