Codes in iOS 13 confirm that Apple is working on augmented reality glasses

2. 9. 2019

Anything that Apple releases to the public is always subjected to thorough analysis. Now, in the latest builds of iOS 13, pieces of code have been found that refer to the new augmented reality device.

Apple has been rumored to be working on augmented reality glasses for quite some time. This is claimed both by verified analysts such as Ming-Chi Kuo and Mark Gurman, and by supply chains. However, the mythical Apple Glass is taking on a real image again.

In the latest build of iOS 13, pieces of code have been revealed that refer to the new augmented reality device. One of the mysterious components is the "STARTester" application, which can switch the iPhone interface to the control mode of a head-worn device.

The system also hides a README file that references an as-yet-unknown "StarBoard" device that will enable stereo AR applications. This again strongly suggests that it could be glasses or anything with two screens. The file also contains the name "Garta", a prototype augmented reality device labeled "T288".

Deeper in the code, the developers found "StarBoard mode" strings and switching views and scenes. Many of these variables belong to the augmented reality section including "ARStarBoardViewController" and "ARStarBoardSceneManager".

It is expected that Apple's new device will probably really be glasses. Such "Apple Glass" will run on modified version of iOS workingly called "rOS". This information was already provided in 2017 by long-time verified analyst Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, who has admirably accurate sources.

Meanwhile, CEO Tim Cook repeatedly did not fail to remind the importance of augmented reality as another dimension. During the last few Keynotes, several minutes were dedicated to augmented reality right on stage. Whether it was the introduction of various games, useful tools or integration into maps, third-party developers were always invited.

Apple strongly believes in augmented reality and quite possibly we will see Apple Glass soon. Does it make sense to you too?
