Apple mixed reality headset will be equipped with eye tracking system

According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s upcoming mixed reality headset is expected to be equipped with an eye-tracking system, which includes a transmitter and a receiver, which can detect and obtain eye movement information, and then provide users with images/images/information based on algorithms.

Kuo says:

Apple’s eye tracking system includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitting end provides one or several different wavelengths of invisible light, and the receiving end detects the change of the invisible light reflected by the eyeball, and judges the eyeball movement based on the change.

The eye-tracking system is the most important new human-machine interface technology for headsets. For a headset to provide a smooth user experience, it must have the ability to detect eye movements (such as eye movement, blinking, etc.) and provide feedback.

He believes that if the head-mounted device uses an eye-tracking system, it will provide a real and intuitive visual experience, more intuitive operation, and reduce the computational burden.

It is still uncertain whether the Apple headset can support iris recognition, but from the perspective of hardware specifications, the eye-tracking system of this headset can support this function. If the Apple headset can realize iris recognition, it is expected to provide users with a more intuitive Apple Pay method when using the headset.
