- Patent shows how the Vision Pro can generate virtual touchscreens almost anywhere
- Sensors use flat surfaces in augmented reality to deploy the display
- Apple has been working on this technology for several years now
The operating system for the Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset, visionOS, is already available to the first testers in beta version. The opportunity to discover what is hidden behind this new augmented reality platform, starting with its different control options. We already knew that it would be possible to connect a keyboard to it in particularBluetooth. But new images also show us how to turn any flat surface into a virtual screen, with which the user can interact directly.
This could particularly prove very practical for those who already have a large work plan at home, or who simply wish to do without physical monitors to make space on their desk. To go further, we can even imaginecommenta stylus like the Apple Pencil could greatly benefit from these advantages.
A carefully considered idea
With this, it turns out that Apple would have already taken advantage of several years to refine this solution for the general public. The possibility of deploying the interface on all flat surfaces has already been seen in a patent dating from… 2020.
Such a file notably echoes the manufacturer's revelations in terms of research and development, the latter indicating that it has already used several thousand documents of this type to give free rein to user creations.
Potential release date
The Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headsetwill arrivenext year in the United States, but we don't know its precise release date yet. However, we still do not know when the device will arrive in France, but developers could have the opportunity to test the mount in advance thanks to a dedicated kit within a few days.
As a reminder, the Apple Vision Pro will cost $3,500 (base price), but a more affordable and less powerful version would also be in the works.
