Just like Google’s concept AR Glasses, announced this week.
Apple’s Live Captions can take incoming audio and transcribe it instantly.
The most obvious is the inclusion of LIDAR cameras in iPhones and iPads.

Its not just visual AR, either.
AirPods have been adding neat AR features for years now.
Being able to place sounds in a 3D space to match the AR objects will really sell the illusion.
Thats another feature that is ideal for reading signs, menus, and other text through AR glasses.
Your phone takes the audio and transcribes it on-the-fly, providing subtitles, as seen in this video.
That’s great, but what’s even better is that nothing ever leaves your iPhone.
The captions, says Apple, are generated on-gear instead of being sent off to a server.
This is not only more private, it’s also a lot faster.
Now, we’re all getting the benefits of Apple’s increased research into augmented reality tech.
