Smartphones are a big part of our lives. We use them for many things, from talking to handling money. But keeping all this information in one place can be risky. To make them safer, phone manufacturers use things like fingerprint checks. Now, Apple has shared new ideas with the European Patent Office. Here are the details…
Apple’s New Eye-Tracking Tech: Optic ID
This week, the European Patent Office shared new patents from Apple. These are all about Optic ID, Apple’s new way of checking who you are using your devices. This technology will be part of the upcoming Apple Vision Pro computer. Eye trackers have been around for a while. They see where you’re looking on a screen.
Apple’s Optic ID does more: it looks at unique features of your eyes and face to confirm your identity. Think of it as a fingerprint, but for your eyes. Apple’s new patents talk about using two or more cameras to take pictures of your face.
They focus on many parts: your iris (the colored part of your eye), your eyelids, even your eyebrows. By looking at all these features, Apple’s system can tell if it’s really you or if someone is trying to trick it. Apple’s tech also chooses the best picture of your eye for checking. If one picture is too dark or blurry, it can use another. This means it’s more likely to work well every time.
