The conceptual Apple Glasses seen here have been designed as a distinctly minimalist accessory that follows the brand's design ethos to offer a glimpse of what smart eyewear from the tech company could look like. Designed by Xhakomo Doda, the eyewear boasts a skeletal design that hides all of the essential technology components in the bridge. The glasses implement augmented reality (AR) technology into the everyday lifestyle of the wearer and allow them to receive updates, perform tasks and much more.
The conceptual Apple Glasses feature metallic arms that attach onto the main unit via a magnetic connection, which enables them to be swapped out for different colors. The glasses identify what can be done to make smart eyewear more applicable for consumers who might be apprehensive about facial wearables.
