We have been hearing rumors and developments about the Apple AR Glass for quite a long time now. However, we haven’t seen the Cupertino giant mention it anywhere at its events or on online platforms. Nonetheless, as Apple files patents for various tech on which they are working, we now have a patent that suggests that the iPhone maker is working to give its AR-powered wearable Face-ID-like capabilities.
The said patent suggests that an Apple Glass or any head-mounted wearable device should be able to monitor the head movements and expressions of a user and then transmit that to the iPhone. For this, the wearable device needs to have the necessary sensors to 3D-map the user’s face and head.
The patent also says that these light sensors be placed at different points on the wearable device. And “due to such positioning, the sensor data from the light sensors can capture the movement of anatomical features in the tissue of the head of the user and can be used to determine any suitable gestures of the user.”
