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.
Over the years Patently Apple has posted 370 Apple patents covering all aspects of the technology being developed for their future Mixed Reality Headset(s) and/or smartglasses. Last Friday, the technology news site The Information published a rumor report about Apple using Iris tracking and scan for logging in as well as providing clip on prescription lenses, technology first introduced in Apple patent filings.
Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series of 59 newly granted patents for Apple Inc. In this particular report we briefly cover two Apple Watch patents. The first covers Machine Learning in context with the Apple Watch Assistive Touch feature that recognizes hand gestures. The second patent covers strengthening the Apple Watch cover glass.
