A new way to interact with your iPhone and Mac
Apple’s Vision Pro headset is packed with impressive features, and its gesture control system is one of the highlights – and there could be some exciting news for users of other Apple devices on the horizon if an intriguing development comes to fruition.
As spotted by AppleInsider, it looks like Apple is working to bring the Vision Pro’s gesture platform to its other devices. That means you could soon use gestures to send a text on your iPhone or launch an app on your MacBook. No more fruitlessly digging around in settings or tediously sifting through your files – just a quick wave of your hand and the task is complete. It would be the best of the Vision Pro on all your other Apple devices.
At least, that’s the idea anyway. It’s all laid out in a recently published patent that details various ideas about using gestures on different Apple devices. While many of the illustrations and comments are focused on the Vision Pro, Apple has also included several drawings of people performing in-air gestures while using tablets and computers, and they’re not wearing a headset.
That suggests that Apple could be working on gestures that can be detected without the help of a Vision Pro.
