According to the list published by the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple has recently obtained a head-mounted display-related technology patent, showing a vision Pro head-mounted display that can be placed inside the head-mounted display to act as a screen.
According to patentlyapple media reports, this is the 17th device concept submitted by Apple, but each patent has adjusted the details. Judging from the patented design sketches, Apple's upcoming Vision Pro headset adopts a design similar to Samsung's Gear VR. The iPhone is embedded in the headset as a screen, which is a good way to attract consumers to experience AR/VR.
The patent also introduces a remote control similar to the Oculus Go that can change the content of the screen: it also mentions a "touch sensor" that can be used to sense the sliding of a finger on the glasses to control the audio volume.
There's also a suggested external viewing mode that allows users to see the outside world.
In WWDC23, Apple officially announced that the head display product is called "Apple Vision Pro", runs a new operating system "visionOS", and is equipped with M2 and a new R1 chip.
In terms of design, the Vision Pro looks like ski goggles and diving glasses. Its frame is made of aluminum alloy and includes sensors, cameras, displays, and computing components cooled by fans. The headband and earmuffs are made of pure fabric and can be bent to fit various face and head shapes. In terms of lenses, Apple has cooperated with Zeiss to customize, and the prescription lenses produced can be magnetically attached to the display screen, which is convenient for myopic people to use the headset. In terms of screen, it is equipped with two 4K micro OLED screens, with a total of 23 million pixels, and each eye has more pixels than a 4K TV.
Apple designed a unique dual-chip design for Vision Pro. The main chip is the familiar M2, which is responsible for visual algorithms and image information processing, allowing Vision Pro to have a smoother experience. At the same time, in order to process the information of 12 cameras, 5 sensors and 6 microphones, Apple also brought a brand new R1 chip, so that the image can be synchronized to the Vision Pro screen within 12 milliseconds, almost without delay. It's like everything is happening right in front of you.
