A new patent by Apple reveals, the company will launch a new privacy feature. It allows the owner of an iPhone to view its content with special glasses. Reports by Patently Apple states the patent describes the “privacy glasses” that block out others from viewing your content.
It shows a diagram of how Apple wants to go to the next level. To make sure the iPhone users have their privacy under their control. The report mentions patent application “relates to providing personalized graphical outputs. As well as systems for displaying vision-corrected graphical outputs and standard graphical outputs on an electronic device.”
Privacy Glasses
This would imply that Apple’s privacy glasses would register a user and identify corrective eyewear circumstances related to vision weakness. The output would then be displayed based on the registered user’s vision impairment, without the need to switch corrective glasses on and off. For privacy, “the user may interact with the calibration graphic to intentionally blur the graphical output presented on the display of the device (iPhone)” so that it is not visible by others around the device.
Face ID profiles
There are talks about Apple, working on creating multiple profiles with Face ID. According to the patent, the system would be able to distinguish various features on the user’s face including their hairstyle, beard, glasses, no glasses, sunglasses, and others. Apple may be aiming for the speed of Touch ID in Macs with multiple profiles in Face ID, which allows users to switch accounts by just placing the right finger on the sensor.
However, for the time being, these are only patents that may or may not become reality. Even if they do, it takes a long time for corporations to create products for the general public. However, the prospect of such a technology is enthralling.
