Advanced Sensory Systems

In addition to its immersive display, the mechanism includes a complex array of sensory systems that allow for precision tracking, gesture recognition, and spatial awareness. Using cameras, depth sensors, and machine learning algorithms, the device seamlessly incorporates virtual aspects into the user’s actual environment, blurring the distinction between reality and imagination. From easy motions to lifelike interactions, the device allows users to connect with digital content in ways that were never before conceivable. It has more than a dozen cameras and sensors that map out the scene around you while tracking your hand and eye motions. Authentication is done using optical ID, which scans your iris with infrared lights and cameras. Each individual has a distinct iris pattern, and Optic ID is similar to Face ID and Touch ID. It can be used to unlock the device, make transactions, and set a password replacement.

Two Audio Straps with built-in speakers are mounted on the sides of the headset, providing Spatial Audio that combines what you’re hearing on the headset with what’s happening in the real world. The Audio Straps link to a 3D knitted headband that secures the Vision Pro in place. Apple designed it to be breathable, cushiony, and elastic for comfort, and a Fit Dial ensures that the headset fits snugly against your head. There is also a dual-strap design that distributes weight evenly across the back and top of the head. Apple intends to provide Light Seals and headbands in a variety of sizes, with these components swappable.
