It is already known that Apple is working on a brand new product line in the wearable category for a while now. This new mixed reality based headset is expected to be officially revealed soon. However, prior to its announcement, a new patent have hinted at some of its functionality.
Based on a patent filed in Europe, the upcoming “Multi-Device Continuity for use with Extended Reality (XR) Systems.” In other words, the AR/VR headset will come with support for Continuity features like Handoff or Universal Control that are already available on existing gadgets. For those unaware, Continuity is basically the term the Cupertino based giant uses to imply that its products are supported by multiple platforms and can seamlessly communicate with one another.
So we can expect the new XR headset (Extended Reality) to feature Continuity for seamless connection between your Apple products as long as you’re signed into the same Apple ID on all of your devices. The connection will be enabled through wireless communication tech like WiFi and Bluetooth. Interestingly, the patent also offered us an example on how such a technology would work. A user can be wearing the headset and go through an email that was received by the iPhone.
Meaning, a simple hand gesture will let you view the email on the larger virtual display. This basically adds to the over functionality of the headset. Continuity is quite a popular feature under Apple with its macOS based PCs and iPhones being capable of communicating with one another. This basically makes the users’ life a lot more convenient and is typically added on most of the brand’s products.
