Apple has killed its AR glasses project… maybe.

In the end, it has not been Apple or Facebook, but Snap to make its first move in the AR glasses space.

I think that we’ll have more info at OC7, with maybe a launch in 2021/2022. The time has come and finally Apple will implement a depth back camera in its upcoming iPad Pro.
