Apple buys startup for AR glasses
Sydney : Apple Inc has acquired a startup focused on making lenses for augmented reality glasses, the company confirmed on Wednesday. Apple confirmed it acquired Longmont, Colorado-based Akonia Holographics. “Apple buys smaller companies from time to time, and we generally don’t discuss our purpose or plans,” the iPhone maker said in a statement.
Akonia was founded in 2012 by a group of holography scientists and had originally focused on holographic data storage before shifting its efforts to creating displays for augmented reality glasses, according to its website.
