Apple Registers Patent For New Feature
The news of the patent filed by Apple states that the new feature will allow only the owner of an iPhone to view its content with special glasses. The patent describes the “privacy glasses” and they block out others from accessing or viewing your content.
As per the report, the application for the patent “relates to providing personalized graphical outputs to systems for displaying vision-corrected graphical outputs and standard graphical outputs on an electronic device.”
The privacy glasses by Apple would register a user and also determine corrective eyewear scenarios that are associated with vision deficiency. After the registration, the output would be shown as per the deficiency associated with the registered user. For this, they won’t even need to put the corrective glasses on and off.
Content Only Visible To Owner; Not Even To Others Around the Device?
The user can also interact with the calibration graphic to intentionally blur the graphical output presented on the display of the device (iPhone). This will ensure that the content is not visible by others around the device.
Apart from the privacy glasses, Apple is reportedly working on developing multiple profiles with Face ID. As per the patent, the system would be able to make our the difference between various features based on the user’s face including their hairstyle, beard, glasses, no glasses, sunglasses, and others.
The system will also store all the changes in the facial features as a separate biometric identity. They would also allow users to unlock their devices quite easily.
Along with multiple profiles in Face ID, Apple will also offer the swiftness of Touch ID in Macs. It also allows users to switch accounts simply by placing the right finger on the sensor.
However, it should be noted that Apple may or may not use the patent to create any products in the future. But there is the possibility that some of its innovations may be used in other products such as the mixed-reality headset
