Apple advances their Future Biomedical Smartglasses and VR Headset that is Mind Boggling in Scope
Today the US Patent & Trademark Office published a continuation patent from Apple that relates to systems and methods for monitoring and detecting head gestures performed by a user wearing smartglasses or a head mounted display device that is equipped with multiple light-sensing assemblies. Today, the Apple Watch is pushing into the health arena, especially regarding the monitoring of a user s heart. In the future, Apple smartglasses will be able to provide biomedical data that is simply mind boggling in scope.
As a refresher, the vast majority of this invention is focused on a new sensor system that will provide biomedical data to the user. At one point it even describes monitoring jaw movements as noted in the patent figures below.
After a three-day journey originating from the manufacturing facilities in Mesa, Arizona, the 1-229th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, became the first operational unit to receive the AH-64E version 6 Apache helicopter Jan. 14.
The V6 is equipped with an open systems design including the latest communications, navigation, sensor and weapon systems. The model has multiple upgrades with the improved Lockheed-Martin Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision System, which includes a new integrated infrared laser for easier target designation and enhanced infrared imagery capabilities. The GEN3 Day Sensor Assembly doubles the sensorâs field of view and increases resolution. The addition of color imagery improves target detection and identification.
