According to The Information, Apple will use iris scanning tech for its virtual and augmented reality headsets. According to the report, the scanning is meant to make it easier for multiple people to use the headset with their own accounts.
It would take advantage of the device's many cameras to use the eye- scanning system. It would help differentiate Apple from its main competitor, the Metaquest Pro, which the company formerly known as Facebook announced this week. The Quest Pro doesn't use inward-facing cameras that can track eye and face motion for security reasons. Apple will use downward-facing cameras to take users' legs, a part of the body Meta is still figuring out.
The project for Apple's headset has been in development for a long time, and its launch date has been changed many times. The price of the headset is twice that of the Quest Pro, which is sold as a high-end headset for professionals. In Apple's case, live video from front-facing headsets is passed to the screen in augmented reality, but it doesn't offer the same fidelity as real-world vision. A major factor is seemingly recruiting developers to their respective platforms before the other gains a decisive advantage in the field of mixed reality.
