Neck strain warnings
The first preorders for the Apple Vision Pro will very soon be making their way into the hands of users, but it seems that Apple is making plans to have headsets like the Vision Pro respond to the posture of the person wearing them.
A newly published patent (via Patently Apple) refers to « tiered posture awareness » – a method through which headsets and smart specs could figure out the posture of users, and then make any necessary tweaks to the way content was presented.
So, for example, a virtual 3D environment might be slightly adjusted based on the way the user is standing or sitting, and the surround sound effects applied to audio feeds could also be changed to be as immersive as possible.
