Future versions of Apple’s Vision Pro travel case may have built-in lens cleaning features

Future versions of Apple’s Vision Pro travel case may have built-in lens cleaning features.

Apple offers US$199.99 travel case for the Vision Pro. Future versions may have built-in lens cleaners for use with the spatial computer. 

Apple has filed for a patent (number US 20240100571 A1) for a “panel cleaning system” that would include a cleaner coupled with a base or a lid of case. The cleaner would be configured to clean a portion of the head-mounted device when the head-mounted device is inserted into and/or removed from the case.

A cleaner is positioned in the base cavity of the travel case and would be configured to contact a portion of a panel of the Vision Pro. The portion of the panel would overlay an external facing sensor located behind the panel, and the cleaner would have a contour that corresponds to a contour of the portion of the panel.
