[Apple Glasses] Make it so that you can't see the iPhone screen without wearing smart glasses?

If you're using your phone in a public place like a cafe or coffee shop, there's always the chance that there will be someone close by who can snoop on what you're doing. There are screen protectors that prevent prying eyes from certain angles, but they don't always work perfectly, so there's really no way to completely prevent this.

However, a patent discovered by Patently Apple suggests that one of the uses of Apple Glasses may be to enhance privacy and security. In the near future, you may not be able to see the content displayed on your iPhone unless you look through smart glasses.

In the same media, it is explained as follows. "An important new aspect discussed in this patent application is 'privacy eyewear,' an embodiment in which the user controls the output of graphics to add a blur effect to the content displayed on the iPhone. Here's the control screen to adjust: Compensate the graphics output so that the content on the screen is illegible if you want to protect your privacy or if you don't want people around you to see what's on your display You can."

If Apple can pull it off, it's going to be a pretty cool feature. It's currently rumored that Apple's mixed reality headset could launch as early as next year, and Apple Glasses a few years after that. If there is a function like this patent, it seems that the willingness to purchase those products will increase further.
