Apple AR/VR patent: Use colored indicator lights to prompt VST camera on status

Recently, the USPTO published a patent related to AR/VR headsets. The patent points out an indicator light system for the headset, which can prompt the status of the camera through red, green, dark colors, etc., allowing the headset to People around the user know the camera's current operating mode and whether it is on or off. According to reports, the system is not only suitable for AR/VR helmets, but also can be used on laptops, mobile phones and other devices to prevent hackers from quietly opening the camera without the user knowing.

It is understood that the patent number is US11650484B1, which describes a wearable display device with a built-in display panel that can display different images for the user's left and right eyes. In addition, it is also equipped with an external camera system (including 3D image sensor, structured light sensor, LiDAR, infrared/visible light camera, etc.) to capture real scenes and overlay computer-generated AR content.

Indicators on the headset display the camera's status in a number of states, including actively capturing images, waiting to capture, turned off, and deactivated. This function is very practical. For example, when the user looks at the people around him in VST mode, the people around him can notice it through the reminder light, thereby avoiding privacy leaks and other situations. The indicator light not only allows users to understand the current usage of the camera, but also helps them avoid long-term standby power consumption and prevent damage to privacy security.
