Apple Plans AI-Powered Body Tracking in Smart Glasses for Health and Fitness

Apple intends to develop its upcoming non-AR smart glasses as a dedicated health and fitness platform, according to journalist Mark Gurman's reporting. The company has already experimented with comparable capabilities in Vision Pro, creating an Apple Fitness+ version that lets users follow workout classes while the device monitors their movements using AI-powered body pose analysis. The new glasses will feature advanced motion tracking and analysis, setting them apart from health solutions on iPads and Apple TVs. Previous efforts to implement these capabilities in Vision Pro were shelved due to technical challenges and the headset's excessive weight. Apple is now pursuing similar functionality in the next-generation smart eyewear, though the absence of a display demands alternative implementation methods. The company is actively hiring specialists to shape the future of health, wellness, and fitness experiences across spatial computing and wearable technologies.
