Apple has revealed a new biometric system called Optic ID for its upcoming mixed-reality headset, the Apple Vision Pro. Optic ID utilizes iris recognition technology to identify users, similar to how Face ID works on iPhones.
With Optic ID, the Apple Vision Pro can automatically unlock when the user puts on the headset, providing a seamless and convenient user experience.
Privacy-Focused Approach
Apple has implemented strict measures within the Vision Pro system, emphasizing its commitment to privacy. Apps cannot access raw iris data, ensuring user information remains secure. Furthermore, apps do not have constant visibility of the user’s gaze direction and cannot access the user’s external surroundings.
Release Date and Pricing
The Apple Vision Pro headset is set to launch early next year, and it will be available for purchase at a starting price of $3499.
Apple’s introduction of the Optic ID biometric system demonstrates its dedication to incorporating advanced security features into its products while focusing on user privacy. As the release date approaches, users can anticipate a secure and immersive experience with the Apple Vision Pro.
