Apple has bought Akonia Holographics, a startup that makes lenses for augmented reality headsets, suggesting its own long-awaited AR glasses are inching ever closer to customers' noses.

The acquisition seems to support rumors that Apple representatives secretly attended CES in January to hold private meetings with parts suppliers for AR glasses. Apple doesn't usually attend the technology show, preferring to focus its energies on its own launch events, but according to Bloomberg, Apple, Facebook and Google all sent reps to speak with potential partners.
