Apple has been granted a patent (number US 11776258 B1) for a “Head-Mounted Device With Feedback.” It involves the upcoming Apple Vision Pro.
The US$3,400 (and up) “Spatial Computer” will arrive in early 2024. However, it apparently will only be available in limited quantities at first.
Per the patent, the Vision Pro can be operated to detect and respond to a user’s behavior. Apple says the head-mounted device can be regularly and frequently worn while the user performs regular daily tasks, allowing the Vision Pro to collect a large volume of data across a long duration of time. The head-mounted device can then provide feedback that can guide and direct a user to “correct actions,” according to Apple.
For example, the Vision Pro could determine whether auser is failing to interact with objects for which the user is reaching. The head-mounted device could also determine whether the user is putting items where they do not belong.
