On March 29, according to a list published by the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO) recently, Apple has obtained two patents related to Vision Pro technology, even if users do not have stylus tools such as Apple Pencil, they can draw in virtual scenes.
The first patent is called “A stylUs-Based Input System for a Head-mounted Device,” and Apple is investigating the use of a stylus to interact with a virtual world.
The Apple Pencil is certainly a natural input device, but the patent also Outlines a new device with a light emitter (possibly infrared) that allows the headset to track the position and direction of the device, allowing it to paint.
The second patent, titled “Technology for drawing in a computer-generated Reality environment”, tracks the user’s hand, and the user only needs to make the motion of holding a pen, so in the AR scene you are holding a virtual pen, and then you can draw on the drawing board.
One example of this is if you want to draw a hat on a real-life character and a bird in the sky, which can then be done in a headset such as the Vision Pro.
