This morning, Ming-Chi Kuo released his latest research report stating that Apple’s AR headset will have an eye-tracking system.
The report predicts that Apple’s AR headset will feature an eye-tracking system. This system includes a transmitter and a receiver that detect and capture eye movement information, then provide videos, images, and information to the user based on algorithms. The transmitter emits invisible light at a single wavelength or multiple wavelengths, and the receiver determines the trajectory of eye movement by detecting changes in the reflected light.
The report predicts that the transmitter may have different wavelengths, making the production process complex and time-consuming. In addition, the size and shape requirements of the headset transmitter module differ significantly from those of ordinary electronic devices, further increasing production difficulty. The report believes that the unit price of the transmitter module is relatively high.
According to the report, it is still unclear whether Apple’s AR headset will support iris recognition, but based on its hardware specifications, the headset’s eye-tracking system is capable of supporting this feature.
The report suggests that if Apple’s AR headset supports iris recognition, it will enable Apple Pay payments while users wear it.
