Recently, in the list announced by the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple has obtained a new technology patent for Apple Watch, revealing some of the designer’s whimsy.
The patent description introduces a strange application scenario, that is, Apple plans to equip the back of the Apple Watch with a lens that allows the wearer to take a Face ID image. Captured images can be used for 2D/3D avatars used in Apple Watch, Apple AR/VR headsets.
Patently Apple also showed us the patent-related design sketches, and learned that the lens can not only shoot faces to generate virtual avatars. The Apple Watch can also act as a controller for communicating with each other in virtual environments.
In the future, Apple will embed more sensors in the Apple Watch to capture the wearer’s facial features, eye features, fingerprints and other biometric information, and even recognize the user’s eye gaze, air gestures, voice commands and click gestures.
