Google watch

This is a design patent filed by Google LLC in mid 2017. According to Information Published in USPTO database (United States Patent and Trademark Office) On August 27, 2019.

It has Seven patent sketches, in which a smart watch with a round watch is depicted. Large circle can be seen in the middle. Although you might still think of a hybrid watch with analog hands, it is the name of the patent that gave us more information about this. The patent is titled 'Camera Watch'.

In other words, Google seems to be working on a smart watch with a camera. This will certainly be a good entry for the smartwatch market. Finally, there are no well-known brands - think Apple, Samsung, Huawei and LG - currently have watches with cameras in their portfolios. There are some more unknown brands that offer smart watches with cameras, but the quality of this camera leaves something to be desired.

Google Pixel watch

The Google Pixel 3 smartphone is known as one of the best smartphone cameras. While only one lens is used. This is because of the unique software from Google. Chances are that the manufacturer also wants to use this knowledge for its smartwatch. However, because this is a design patent, its function is not discussed in more detail. It's still unclear if this camera is below the screen, there might be a gap in the screen - as we have seen this year with various smartphone models.

Whether Google really intends to install a camera on a watch will of course still be seen, but it seems reasonable because the company also filed a patent for smart watches earlier this year. With this patent, the watch strap is discussed specifically, however, the same circular circle can also be seen with this design.

In addition, Google seems to choose a digital turning ring for operation, although this cannot be concluded 100% of the image. We will not see the crown again. The latest Samsung smartwatch, Galaxy Watch Active 2, is also equipped with a digital rotary ring.

Not yet clear when Google will unveil its first smart watch. The watch was expected last year, until Google itself indicated that this did not yet exist. We have now moved on for some time, of course it is inconceivable that the company just needs more development time. Finally, Google invested $ 40 million in Fossil watchmaker smart watch technology earlier this year.

Apple AR / VR Headset

In what might be unhealthy news for the technology business, Apple has reportedly canceled plans to develop augmented reality (AR) headsets and virtual reality (VR).

According to the Taiwan-based DigiTimes portal citing people familiar with the matter, the Apple team working on the AR / VR project was briefly dissolved and "transferred to other product lines".

"Companies related to the supply chain say that Apple is adjusting R & D resources, and its development team for AR / VR headsets has been dissolved and transferred to other product lines," the report claims.

This shows that the termination of the AR project occurred when the co-creator of Microsoft Holoens Avi Bar-Zeev left as the Apple AR headset development team in January.

Some reports in the past have claimed that iPhone makers are serious about launching AR glasses as early as 2020, as well as famous Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

The launch of Apple's ARkit for iOS developers has been seen as a big step for companies to enter the AR industry.

"Apple's temporary halt to the development of AR / VR headset hardware does not mean that it is not optimistic about the prospects of AR / VR," said the report, adding that the timing might not be ripe at this stage.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is always bullish on AR.

"AR and ml will be the key to sending the right data to the right person at the right time," Cook said recently when he stated the expansion of the partnership with SAP.

In the new update, Apple ARKit, the company's AR development platform that may only recognize horizontal surfaces when entering virtual objects, gets support for identifying vertical objects.

"ARKIT can now recognize and place virtual objects on a vertical surface. Using advanced PC vision techniques to find and recognize the position of a second image, ARKit will integrate real-world images into the AR experience," said the Cupertino-based giant.

ARKit 3, RealityKit and therefore Reality composers are other sophisticated tools designed by Apple to make it easier for developers to create an AR experience that is attractive to consumer an d business applications.
