The smart glasses would be Apple's first in a category of product that was originally pioneered by Google, with Google Glass. Like Google Glass, Apple's smart glasses product would be geared towards information conveyance, instead of immersive augmented reality experiences like the products that Magic Leap is developing and Microsoft Hololens. 

The glasses "may use augmented reality," according to a Bloomberg source. The project is in "early product testing."

The smart glasses will connect to an iPhone for processing, in order to keep its weight down and keep the design of the frames stylish without adding too many additional electronics.

inRead invented by TeadsOne main component of any pair of Apple smart glasses would be its lenses. Last week, Upload VR entrepreneur-in-residence Robert Scoble wrote in a Facebook post that Apple's optics partner is Carl Zeiss, which produces a lens called Zeiss Smart Optics. 

Thomas Alt, who joined Apple after the company bought Metaio, an AR company he was the CEO of, is listed as an inventor on a glasses patent assigned to Carl Zeiss. His LinkedIn profile lists him as "Director of Procurement, Strategic Deals Team" at Apple.  

A Zeiss spokesperson declined to comment on any partnership with Apple. 

"I do think that a significant portion of the population of developed countries, and eventually all countries, will have AR experiences every day, almost like eating three meals a day, it will become that much a part of you," Apple CEO Tim Cook said last month in Utah.
