Apple won a German eye-tracking glasses manufacturer to develop AR technology On June 27, according to foreign media reports, people familiar with the matter revealed that Apple has acquired a German eye-tracking glasses manufacturer SensoMotoric Instruments, and the company's hardware is currently used for augmented reality applications, early childhood autism detection, brain mapping and neurology, visual science, psychology, physical exercise, etc. Regarding the acquisition, Apple euphemistically confirmed, "Apple sometimes buys smaller tech companies, and we don't usually discuss the purpose or plan of the acquisition."

SensoMotoric Instruments' current technology is capable of tracking and recording real-time images of the wearer of glasses up to 120 times per second. This technology can reduce input lag, which reduces motion errors when the perception of perceived motion does not match the change in viewing angle.

The company is headquartered in Teltow, Germany, and has a satellite office in Boston. The terms of the deal, as well as the identities of the company's current employees, are unclear. It is understood that Apple's vice president of legal affairs, on behalf of Delaware's Vineyard Capital Corporation, has granted a German law firm the authority to represent the law firm.

Subsequently, the company purchased SensoMotoric Instruments on June 16. At this year's WWDC, Apple also unveiled ARKit, an AR (Augmented Reality) platform that allows developers to develop AR experiences around Apple devices. ARKit will support iPhone 6s and newer, and iPad Pro and newer.
