VisionOS: Apple's Groundbreaking Operating System for Spatial Computing
Apple has announced its latest operating system, VisionOS, designed specifically for spatial computing, which powers Apple's much-awaited augmented reality (AR) headset, the Apple Vision Pro. Unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference, VisionOS is a game-changer, describing it as "the first OS designed from the ground up for spatial computing." Spatial computing is Apple's term for augmented and virtual reality experiences.
User Interface and App Store
VisionOS provides a three-dimensional interface that liberates apps from traditional screen limitations, allowing them to appear, side by side, with different sizes and scales. The user interface responds dynamically to natural light, allowing shadows to give context to scale and distance.
The VisionOS App Store, which debuts alongside the Vision Pro, features apps from Adobe, Microsoft, Cisco, and many others, including Unity apps that run natively on the Vision Pro. Medical software and engineering apps are among the initial apps available. Over 100 Apple Arcade titles will be available on the VisionOS App Store on launch day.
EyeSight and Optic ID
EyeSight is a Vision Pro feature powered by VisionOS that projects the eyes of whoever is wearing the headset onto its curved outer display. EyeSight works using scanned facial data and machine learning algorithms to minimize lag and reduce nausea. VisionOS also features a new security system called Optic ID which uses iris scans for authentication. Data is encrypted, and they work with Secure Enclave, a subsystem integrated into Apple system-on-chips. Apple has assured customers that their telemetry data, such as how they interact with apps and websites, will remain private.
Philosophical Discussion and Advice
VisionOS marks a significant step for Apple towards providing a new way to interact with technology. By creating an operating system that is built for spatial computing, Apple is making a statement about the future of technology and where it's heading. Spatial computing has the potential to be a game-changer in many areas, including education, healthcare, and entertainment.
However, concerns about privacy issues related to user data and how it is collected and used in spatial computing environments must be appropriately addressed. While Apple has made promises about user privacy so far, it is essential to remember that data protection is an ongoing process that requires constant and continuous vigilance. As more and more apps make their way to VisionOS, it will be crucial to ensure that they protect user privacy and security.
Our recommendation is to stay informed and aware of the privacy features of any app you use, especially those related to spatial computing. Check and understand the permissions you grant to the app, and be mindful of how your data is used and stored. In short, dive into spatial computing with your eyes wide open.
