Them devices of Apple could be controlled through the tracking of the look or with gestures, this according to the features of a patent recently posted, that describes them research of Apple in the technology of the mapping of depth in 3D.
The technology would be based on the type of mapping of depth in 3D, which recently has been used in the new dual-lens of 7 Plus iPhone, but this would apply to new ways in which users interact with your Mac or, possibly, with the Apple TV through the use of gestures in the air or visual tracking to navigate through the menus and content that appear on screen.
The patent you gives a vision general of how this technology could operate, through the combination of a map in 3D of them users with an image 2D that the system uses to assimilate who is interacting.
Being a patent, some of them uses specific that Apple described are quite large. For example, not is at all clear how the system of mapping laser for the recognition of gestures work in set with the system. There is evidence, as for example the idea that a user can scroll through a web page using the look, or select items on the screen stating this.
This is something that Apple is going to finish using as something more than a concept of tests of research and development, but as is has designated, a technology similar already appeared in the iPhone. As is has seen with the technology of Siri and the 3D Touch, Apple certainly has demonstrated its will of introduce certain technologies in a device and then extend its functionality leading them to others devices.
Apple is no stranger to this area, he worked for a time with patents 3D for the first time makes more than half a decade, in 2009, when it acquired the PrimeSense company.
