Bloomberg has reported citing sources familiar with the matter that Apple is considering an expansion of its products which could include wearable glass headsets. It has entered into talks with potential suppliers for the same.

Apple’s wearable glass headset is likely to show images along with other info on the headset and could make use of augmented reality.

Earlier this year, With Apple struggling to lift the sagging sales of iPhones, Tim Cook had said the company would continue to invest in augmented reality.

As per Bloomberg, Apple has ordered a small number of ultra-high resolution displays for testing, but their numbers weren’t sufficiently large for starting production.

When prompted for requests for comments, Apple declined to comment.

If these rumours turn out to be true, it would mark it as the latest tech company to venture into wearable glasses.

Earlier this year, Alphabet Inc. discontinued its own Google Glass headset and closed the social media account linked to the device, thus ending its attempts to popularize the expensive device with consumers.

When it was launched in 2012, although the device was showered with media attention, it ran into heavy headwinds over privacy concerns and its awkward appearance.
