In one of Apple s XR Headset published this week we see a well thought out camera system. It s a clear project being that two different teams were assigned to explore it. The first patent that we discovered on a scene camera was published back in 2020. We posted a patent report on this titled " Apple Invents a Scene Camera System for a future HMD device that brings Vivid Imagery directly to the user s eyes." This week another scene camera related patent was published by USPTO.
Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple a patent that relates to a new HMD camera system that includes a two-dimensional array of cameras that capture images of respective portions of a scene.
Over the next few years, Apple next-big thing will involve a series of Mixed Reality Head Mounted Devices and Smartglasses. The camera system that Apple could be implementing over time is an advanced camera system that s anything but conventional. It s a next-gen HMD scene camera system that includes a two-dimensional array of cameras that capture images of respective portions of a scene.
