The Orange County Sheriff’s Department in California is in talks with Apple to find a way to implement Apple Vision Pro for surveillance monitoring, and eventually, a tool for patrolling officers.

Apple Vision Pro is Apple’s spatial computing device that combines the aspects of Augmented Reality (AR), viewing interfaces on the real world, and Virtual Reality (VR), viewing data through a head-mounted display. Police hope to use the device to replace the many expensive monitors and computer systems used to monitor surveillance data.
According to a report from Forbes, Orange County is in communication with Apple over using the headset, and perhaps even implementing CarPlay in police cruisers. Orange County Sheriff’s Department CIO Dave Fontneau shared details of the plan and what he hopes may come from it.
