Apple‘s Vision Pro headset, known for its innovative gesture-based interaction, has a minor flaw in its hand-tracking gesture controls, as revealed by test results from technology media CNET. The issue arises when others insert themselves into the interaction area while the wearer is using gestures. Any random hand movement within the interaction area (where the wearer’s hands are supposed to be) may lead to interference with the headset’s gesture controls and impact the overall user experience.
Apple Vision Pro does not differentiate between its user and someone else’s hand, just follows the gesture instruction
The Apple Vision Pro headset relies heavily on gestures for user interaction, facilitated by the visionOS software. CNET’s tests reveal that the headset struggles to distinguish between the wearer’s hand and the hands of others entering the interaction space. This could pose challenges, especially in scenarios where users have children or other individuals around them.
The interference from additional hands affects the seamless execution of gestures, potentially disrupting the intended experience. This will be very inconvenient in certain scenarios like accidental deletion of a file caused by a random hand movement within the range of the gesture system.
While this flaw is relatively minor, it underscores the room for improvement in Apple’s visionOS. The expectation is that future updates might address this issue, allowing the headset to accurately distinguish the wearer’s hand. As Apple continues to enhance its software systems, improvements in gesture recognition may become a focal point, ensuring an optimal and uninterrupted user experience for Vision Pro users.
In conclusion, while this imperfection may cause some inconvenience in certain situations, it is a part of the ongoing development process for this one of a kind first-generation product. Notably, a second-generation Vision Pro, speculated to be called the Apple Vision Pro 2 is in the works which might solve some of the imperfections of this first-generation product such as the weight and more importantly, the weight distribution.
