According to a report from The Information, Apple's mixed-reality headset will feature iris scanning toauthenticate payments and log into accounts, making it different from Meta's new Quest Pro headset.
Concept render based on purported leaked information by Ian ZelboUsers will be able to use their irises to quickly log into their accounts and make payments, similar to Face ID and Touch ID, according to two people who helped develop Apple's headset. It is said that iris scanning makes it easier for multiple people to use the same headset and sets the device apart from the other ones.
Internal cameras can be used to track where users are looking. Reducing the amount of processing power required for the headset's graphics is achieved by eye tracking. The purchase of SensoMotoric Instruments by Apple allowed it to build the technology.
There is a rumor that Apple's headset will feature 14 cameras, compared to just 10 on Meta's Quest Pro headset, which is designed to capture motion to accurately represent real-world movements. The Quest Pro doesn't have a feature that the two downward-facing cameras offer.
The headset looks like a pair of ski goggles, but it's not. Apple's design uses mesh fabrics, aluminum and glass, and hides its cameras better than the Quest Pro, according to reports. The device is thinner and lighter than the Quest Pro.
According to the report, Apple's headset allows people who wear glasses to clip on their prescriptions.
A display on the headset's exterior allows other people to see the wearer's face. Despite concerns over how the display may use additional battery life, it is said to be able to operate at a low refresh rate in order to conserve power.
The final version of the headset may not include some previously planned features, according to The Information.
