Apple Glass, Apple's elusive AR lenses project, is coming whether we like it or not, and we're beginning to see what the futuristic, first-generation wearable could look like.

When we first heard word of "Apple Glasses," rumors suggested the lenses would launch this year. But with Apple's 2020 product line fully fleshed out with the likes of the iPhone 12, Apple Watch 6 and AirPods Studio, the near future Apple augmented reality glasses looked blurry.

One reliable analyst said Apple Glass could come as soon as next year, while another longtime source for Apple product releases believes the release won't happen until 2022. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said the earliest we'll see them is 2023. Either way, the project is definitely in the works.

Apple Glass is expected to run on Starboard (or perhaps glassOS,) a proprietary operating system uncovered in the final version of iOS 13. The augmented reality framework shows up multiple times in code and text documents, meaning Apple is likely testing activation and application.

Here's everything else we know about Apple Glass, including the potential release date, price, design and specs.

Designer Jordan Singer posted the 'glassOS' concepts on his website, offering a look at what Apple's mixed reality operating system could look like based on elements of iOS 14.

Apple Glass might have a modular trick up its sleeve. The rumored pair of mixed reality glasses could feature swappable arms that each supply a distinct purpose or carry out a different function.

Apple Glass is coming 2023 at the earliest, according to a report from Bloomberg. An Apple VR headset positioned to compete with the Oculus Rift 2 is closer to launch.

According to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo - perhaps the most reputable and reliable Apple expert - Apple Glass won't be ready to ship until 2022 "at the earliest." However, a presentation shown internally at Apple and leaked to The Information and Bloomberg sets the launch date as 2023.

All could be wrong - Jon Prosser, a reputable Apple leaker, says Apple Glasses could come sooner than we thought. Prosser believes the launch is aimed for "March-June 2021."

Prosser also says the company will announce Apple Glass before it's ready to ship, much like it waited several months to sell the first-generation Apple Watch after its debut. Apple allegedly wants members of the media present for the unveiling, so it could wait until in-person tech events resume.

The company allegedly planned to unveil the lenses as a "one more thing" announcement at its annual fall keynote, but might wait due to global tech delays.

I can't believe I'm going against Kuo on this one... but I believe he's wrong. Apple Glasses are aimed for March-June 2021. Also. I've seen them. They're sleek as hell. 👀Will be showing you soon 🤫 https://t.co/0GaOYDA5N8 May 15, 2020

Apple VR headset vs. Apple Glasses

In addition to Apple Glass, the company is working on a VR headset that could be less complex and closer to launch.

The Apple VR headset reportedly features ultra-high-resolution screens and a cinematic speaker system that should enable realistic visual experiences, according to people who have seen prototypes.

Those sources also said the headset looks like a slimmer, fabric-swathed, Oculus Quest, but the design isn't final as the company continues testing to determine the ideal fit for most head shapes.

There's no word on price, though we don't expect it to be cheap. The Quest starts at $399, while HTC's Vive costs $799 and Microsoft's HoloLens 2 is a whopping $3,500.

Like its competitors, the Apple VR headset will reportedly benefit from its own App Store, where users can access gaming, video streaming and communications software. Voice assistant Siri will be tasked with controlling the headset, though a physical remote is reportedly being tested, too.

As for a potential release date, the VR headset is on pace to debut next year and be released in 2022.

Apple Glasses price

According to Prosser the Apple Glasses are currently priced at $499, plus prescription fees. Now that may seem low, especially compared to competing augmented reality headsets like the Microsoft Hololens 2.

Hololens 2 has a price tag of $3,500 but a big part of of its cost comes from having all the electronics needed to run the AR experience built into the headset.

Apple Glass, rather, will rely on a companion iPhone for processing, so it will have significantly less parts and complexity than Hololens. It'll work more like the Vuzix Blade smart glasses, which have a built-in camera and Alexa integration.

Still, Vuzix Blade starts at $799. Apple's entry point is significantly more accessible, costing as much as some of it's top-specced smartwatches.

Apple Glass features: What they'll actually do

According to a Bloomberg report, the Apple AR Glasses will bring information from your phone to your face. Specifically, the eyewear "are expected to synchronize with a wearer's iPhone to display things such as texts, emails, maps, and games over the user's field of vision."

Apple also has plans for third-party apps, and is considering a dedicated app store, similar to how you get apps for the Apple TV and Apple Watch.

Furthermore, a patent granted to Apple has further fuelled the rumor that Apple Glass won't need prescription lenses as the smartglasses will automatically adjust for people with poor eyesight using an "optical subassembley". However, this patent could be for a standalone smartphone-powered VR headset or a second-generation pair of Apple smartglasses.

Apple Glasses design

The most current Apple Glass prototype reportedly looks like an "un-intimidating" pair of plastic glasses, while marketing materials suggest a Clark Kent-esque design.

It has a LiDAR scanner on the right temple, but no other cameras for privacy reasons (although that could change.) The glasses also come with a plastic stand with wireless chargers.

Being an accessory to the iPhone will definitely has implications on the Apple Glass design. Though the glasses won't be lightweight as your Ray-Ban aviators, they could be light enough and comfortable enough to work as everyday glasses.

There are no plans for the first generation of Apple Glass to come in a tinted variety. For the near future, you're stuck using your regular 'ole sun blockers. But if Apple Glass takes off, perhaps the company would consider expanding its offerings.

Apple Glass specs

There's no known specs about the Apple Glass yet, but we can speculate based on what we know about the current tech. For example, it will at least have the same field of view (52-degrees) and resolution (47 ppi) as the Hololens 2.

If Apple aims to create a true augmented reality solution - as opposed to a heads-up display that shows 2D floating notifications or maps, like Google Glass - it's reasonable to expect the Apple Glasses to connect directly to the iPhone on a dedicated Wi-Fi connection.

If the iPhone has to process all the video captured by the glasses' cameras and send back the 3D imagery to the glasses at a very high frame per second rate (a bare minimum of 60Hz, with a 120Hz refresh being optimal), it will require a much higher bandwidth than what Bluetooth can provide.

As for battery life, we can also expect a minimum of three hours if Apple wants to be competitive although we can assume that people will be more forgiving about this - especially if Apple provides with some kind of wireless charging glasses case that can extend its operative time through the day like with the Apple AirPods.

Apple Glasses wish list: What we want

Glasses that look like glasses: We would like some natural looking glasses, like the ones in the concepts that you see on this page. I'm sure that Apple wants the same thing. No one wants AR glasses that look like geek-wear.

AR in full 3D: Some people would like just a heads-up display, but the true power of AR comes from full 3D integration. For Apple Glasses to be successful, you should be able to run any iOS AR app that currently works on the iPhone through the wearable device.

At least 8 hours of battery life: Assuming you're not running 3D AR apps all of the time and are periodically looking at notifications and 2D apps in between, Apple should be able to find a way to make Apple Glasses last through an average workday, though it may not happen in the first generation.

We will keep updating this page as more Apple Glasses rumors and leaks come out. Make sure to bookmark and come back.

Soy docente de inglés y suelo buscar formas para trabajar la literatura de un modo más dinámico y cercano a los chicos. Fue en una de tantas búsquedas que llegué a la conclusión de que los comics son una gran alternativa. Para quienes les costaba más la parte escrita, tenían a la vista una imagen de lo que estaba sucediendo en la historia y, al final, podíamos conectar ambas fuentes de información para que todos comprendieran lo que estaba sucediendo.

Luego de leer el texto de Gamero Pérez, se puede decir que la receta es un texto técnico principalmente porque presenta un paso a paso con instrucciones sobre cómo realizar un huevo de pascua (texto exhortativo), que además esta acompañado de imágenes. Este detalle permite considerar al receptor del texto como público general y no alguien especializado en el tema, más que nada porque que haya explicaciones cortas acompañadas de infografías hacen que el entendimiento sea más fácil y ejemplificado, sin lugar a error.

Toying with the idea of crafting your own Easter egg? This year, roll up your sleeves, borrow some egg moulds and investigate just how easy making your own really is. Once you've made your chocolatey creation, read up on how to decorate an Easter egg with our fun ideas.

Show off your creativity with our homemade easter egg recipe or satisfy your sweet tooth with even more Easter chocolate recipes.

How to get super shiny chocolate

Tempering is the process of heating then cooling chocolate to form a specific type of crystals in the cocoa butter. If we simply melt and cool shop-bought chocolate, it will quickly 'bloom', with dots and streaks of cocoa butter. It melts quickly when touched too. Tempered chocolate quickly sets hard and shiny, won't bloom, and shrinks as it cools, making it easy to remove from a mould. Here's how to temper chocolate:

Melt three quarters of the chocolate in a heatproof bowl until it is silky and smooth. White chocolate should reach 43C, milk and dark 45C. Add the remaining chocolate, chopped into small pieces.

Stir with a spatula until the pieces have melted and the thermometer shows 28C for milk and white, 30C for dark. This can take a while, so have patience and keep stirring. Use as soon as possible. If the chocolate starts to get too cold and thick, heat for just a few seconds and stir well.

Step 1: Clean the mould

Wash each half of your Easter egg mould with hot soapy water and a soft sponge, then dry carefully. Using a ball of cotton wool, buff the inside of the mould. The better the shine on the mould, the better the finish on the chocolate.

Step 2: Melt the white chocolate

Melt then temper the white chocolate for the brush strokes.

Tip: To make Good Food's chocolate Krispie chick, all you need to do is add 50g puffed rice cereal when you take the milk chocolate off the heat.

Step 3: Brush the moulds

Colour half the melted white chocolate with a little food colouring gel if you want, then brush graphic stripes of chocolate onto the moulds. Let each colour set before you add the next (setting is really speedy if you've achieved good temper). Go over some stripes twice, to make the colours pop out. Repeat the melting and tempering process with the dark chocolate, if you like.

Tip: While the chocolate is drying, why not make treats to go inside your egg? It's a lovely extra touch, and will distract impatient little chefs. See suggestions below.

Step 4: Fill the moulds

Line a baking sheet with parchment. Melt and temper the milk chocolate. Half-fill one mould with the chocolate, then tip it this way and that to completely cover the mould.

Step 5: Pour off the excess

Pour the excess back into the chocolate bowl, and scrape a palette knife across the mould to clean it up. Repeat with the other half of the egg. Set the moulds, flat-side down, on the lined sheet. Transfer to the fridge and leave to set for about 10 mins.

Step 6: Release the chocolate

When the chocolate is solid, flex the moulds to gently release. Take your time - you will see the air slowly creep its way between the plastic and the shiny, hard chocolate. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

Step 7: Melt the edges

Heat a baking sheet in the oven until warm. Put clean gloves on (prevents fingerprints) and pick up one side of the egg. Any messy edges can be melted flat by holding them against the tray. Next, carefully rub the flat edge of the egg on the tray to melt it a little.

Step 8: Finish the second half

Repeat with the second side. If you're struggling to pick up the egg from the tray, use a palette knife to help.

Step 9: Combine the halves

Hold the melted edges of the egg together for a few moments until they stick. Wipe away any excess, then leave the egg to set in the fridge for a few minutes. The egg is now ready to give or wrap up for Easter. Store in a cool place away from fluctuating temperatures.

Our verdict?

The recipe was spot-on and really easy to follow. Perfectionists should invest in a thermometer to get that glossy, speckle-free finish, but if you don't mind doing a bit of crafty decorating, making your own egg couldn't be simpler - or more fun!

Ideas for decorating

Melt a tablespoon of chocolate and dab a little on the back of your favourite, flat-backed chocolates or sweets before sticking on the egg - a good job for little ones.

Making your own piping bag from baking paper is really easy. Use icing or cooled chocolate to put your artistic skills to the test - you could personalise the egg with a name or message.

Cut out marzipan shapes to add to your eggs. Let kids get creative, or try a design such as the one used for our cute Krispie chick.
