Apple devices could be controlled by tracking the gaze or gestures, this according to the characteristics of a recently published patent, which describes Apple investigations in the mapping of depth in 3D technology.
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 gives you an overview of how this technology could work, combining a map in 3D of the users with a 2D image that the system uses to absorb who is interacting.
Being a patent, some of the specific uses that describes Apple 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 will end up using as something more than a testing research and development concept, but as pointed out, a similar technology already appeared on 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.
