Little by little we are discovering more about the Apple Vision Pro. In this case, an element has been known in its operating system, which can be very useful. Following the release of the official visionOS SDK, and the first interactions with the system, this is how This functionality has been discovered. Do you want to know more about her? In this post we explain it to you!
What happens if someone else puts on our Vision Pro?
This is what has been asked in the English-speaking medium 9to5Mac, and the answer has come in a response to a tweet from Mark Gurman: the Apple Vision Pro have a mode for guest users. Thus, in this way, whoever wears a viewer that is not theirs, will be able to access to test functionalities of the system itself.
As detailed, the guest mode “will allow other people to interact with the Apple Vision Pro registered in the name of another user. Owners will have the option to enable this mode, or not. The owner of the glasses can also create a password so that the other person who uses the viewer has access to certain applications and settings, no need to authenticate with OpticID«.
Biometric identification of glasses is important
First of all it was TouchID, with the fingerprint. Currently, the FaceID facial recognition system is the most popular. And with the arrival of this new product, OpticID will make a retina scanner, so that we can access certain content and functions of the device.
If with the iPhone we don’t want anyone to be able to see our passwords, or to buy content without authorization, FaceID is that protection barrier. And with the Apple Vision Pro, the same thing will happen, but with the retina scanner. But there are also functions that will require this authentication.
“According to code seen by 9to5Mac, items like hidden and deleted photos will be blocked by OpticID. We have also learned that OpticID will require multiple scanners for wearers with contact lenses, similar to what happens with FaceID with glasses and with face masks, “they explain from the medium.
visionOS development horizon
The same portal announces that “starting next month, developers will be able to apply to obtain an Apple Vision Pro development kit. In addition, Apple is going to open laboratories in Cupertino, London, Munich, Shanghai, Singapore and Tokyo for those interested in testing their apps on Apple Vision Pro before launch.”
Although for the moment Apple has announced that they will arrive in early 2024, they will only be available in one territory: the United States. Little (or nothing) is known about when they will reach more countries, which will be the first markets (after the US) that will receive them, and what the arrival timeline will be like. Little by little we will learn more details about how it works, thanks to the fact that the visionOS SDKs are already available.
