Apple Explores Health Features For Smart Glasses

Apple explores health features for future smart glasses 👓 — Mark Gurman Apple is exploring health and fitness capabilities for non-AR smart glasses, though the features are unlikely to arrive in the first-generation model expected next year.

The Details: • Vision Pro setback: Apple considered a Fitness+ app with body-tracking analysis for Vision Pro but dropped it because the headset was too heavy. • Hiring signal: Apple's Vision Products Group is seeking a leader for health, well-being and fitness experiences across vision products. • Potential functions: Future glasses could combine health sensors, Workout Buddy-style coaching and cameras to analyze workout movement. • Product timing: The initiative remains exploratory, and Apple's broader health-and-fitness vision may take several years to reach smart glasses.
