Any number of sensors, including brainwave and biometric, could be part of future headset plans.
The technology in this patent would allow the Apple Vision Pro— or any future headset— to form a brain-computer interface, such as a noninvasive neural interface. Does this mean that future Apple AR/VR headsets can read your mind? Yes and no.
The technology would monitor a body’s many systems like the heart, lungs, and brain regions. Specifically for the brain, this can help determine if the brain’s learning centers are active or if brainwaves are showing a panic response.
