According to I Love Audio Network, Apple's patent for "facial joints and head-mounted displays" was granted on March 1. I love audio network previously shared with you about the completion of the development of M2 chips, Apple headset device is expected to be released at the end of 2022, in the text we combed the small partners for the development of headset devices to do technical preparations.
This time the patent announcement of Apple's headset device also means that Apple's relevant technical reserves in the field of headsets have matured, let's take a look at the content of the patent published this time.
Abstract, the present invention relates to a head dual display. The head-mounted display includes a display unit and a facial interface. The display unit comprises a display for displaying graphical content to the user.
The facial interface is coupled to the display unit and is configured to join the user's face to support the display unit on it. The facial interface consists of joining the upper part of the user's forehead and the lateral part of the user's temple area. The facial interface converts the forward force applied from the forehead to the upper part into the inward force applied by the side to the temple area.
The abstract is accompanied by a list of figures, which mainly show the force that the user is subjected to when wearing the headset device.
In the accompanying drawings of the manual, we see something very interesting, in the instructions in the drawings Apple adopts "sensing the physiological condition of the user's facial junction area", "sensing another condition (e.g., physiological condition outside the facial junction area, or another condition)", "according to the user's physiological condition in the facial junction area and the other condition both to determine" and finally " according to the determination to perform another operation (e.g., change the graphic content, provide position feedback) such a description.
The term physiological condition reflects various life phenomena, and it can include "emotional response, eye reaction, body temperature," and so on. From the description of the above patent specification, we can know that the Apple headset device will confirm the final operation by combining the two conditions after "sensing the physiological condition of the facial area" and "sensing another condition". That is to say, Apple's headset device will be able to complete the operation of the device by sensing the physiological condition of the person, such as eye tracking technology, emotional feedback technology, etc.
Previously, I love audio network has speculated that Apple has completed the key production test of its AR/VR headset, M2 chip or will be used in Apple headset devices, the earliest product may appear in the 2022 Apple autumn conference, let us look forward to it, I love audio network will continue to analyze the latest information of Apple headset devices with small partners.
