Bloomberg: Apple Vision Pro tested VR controller tracking solution

Qingting.com reported on July 3 that Bloomberg senior writer Mark Gurman revealed in the latest issue of PowerOn: Apple has also considered equipping Vision Pro with a controller.

We learned that Vision Pro is a device that focuses on eye tracking, gesture and voice fusion interaction solutions and does not provide physical handles. We have previously analyzed this solution and found that it is more in line with the natural visual habits of the human body and is indeed a suitable direction that has not been implemented in previous head-mounted devices.

Even, Apple also provides a "direct touch mode" for the interaction of these eye gestures, that is, you can directly touch virtual objects with both hands, such as stacking blocks, virtual keyboards, etc. Vision Pro not only supports PS5 controllers for gaming, but also supports the use of physical keyboards for text input in office and collaborative applications.

However, Mark Gurman said that Apple has also explored the Vision Pro physical controller design, and also used third-party VR controllers for testing in the early stages of development, including: HTC controllers.

However, it seems that the conclusion of the test is not satisfactory, because Apple believes that tracking hand movements combined with equipment is not an elegant solution.

Of course, we also know that Apple has published many smart ring patents before, so we speculate that if there is a hardware tracking solution, the smart ring may be one of the solutions.
