As with Memoji, a wearer’s real face could be mimicked by a cartoon avatar
In Russell T. Davies’s drama “Years and Years,” teenagers wear devices that float large digital avatars in front of their whole faces, for instance showing them as cartoon cats. Apple seems to have seen the show because a new Vision Pro patent application even mentions cats.
Apple Vision Pro already has this EyeSight system where a view of the wearer’s eyes are shown on the outside of the headset. The patent application, “Wearable Device For Facilitating Enhanced Interaction,” details how this works, but then goes further and specifically to avoid reducing “the ability of external observers to interact and engage with the wearer.”
