Apple has had three patent applications published that could enhance its biometric authenticator Optic ID feature and equip its devices to reads lips.
The first two patent filings could be used in its mixed-reality headset Vision Pro, according to trade publication Patently Apple.
The first patent published describes a multi-camera biometric imaging system while the second one describes the “automatic selection of biometric based on the quality of acquired image.” Both patents are designed for biometric authentication and eye tracking. The two patent documents were published by the European patent office last week.
Apple’s third patent filing was published by the U.S. patent office and describes how devices, and presumably its digital assistant Siri, could use motion sensors to detect a user’s mouth. The “Keyword Detection Using Motion Sensing” patent could save power as accelerometers and gyroscopes expend relatively little power compared to audio sensors such as microphones.
