According to relevant analysts, Apple's upcoming hybrid reality head display will use 3D sensors for advanced hand tracking. According to MacRumors and 9to5Mac, his latest research report has been released. It is said that this earphone has four sets of 3D sensors, which should be more accurate than the TrueDepth camera array currently used for facial ID compared to the individual units of the iPhone. According to analysts, structured light sensors can detect 'dynamic detail changes' in objects and hands, similar to Face ID being able to identify facial expressions to generate Animoji. Capturing the details of hand movements can provide a more intuitive and vivid human-machine user interface, 'he wrote, citing an example where once the sensor detects that your fist is no longer clenched, the virtual balloon in your hand will fly away. Kuo believes that the sensor will be able to detect objects 200% farther than the face ID of the iPhone.
Meta's Quest earphones can perform hand tracking, but this is not a core feature of the platform, it relies on traditional monochrome cameras. Guo's notes did not mention whether Apple's headphones would use physical controllers or hand tracking. Bloomberg reported in January that Apple is testing the device's hand tracking. Analysts also provided some details this week regarding the potential emergence of Apple's first headphones. Although he estimated the weight of the first model to be around 300-400 grams (approximately 0.66-0.88 pounds), it is said that he plans to launch a 'much lighter' second generation model with updated battery systems and faster processors in 2024. According to Guo, this model will arrive some time next year, and according to reports, Apple expects its sales to be about 3 million units in 2023. This indicates that the initial product is likely to be expensive and primarily targeted at early adopters.
