Full body tracking and fitness apps: Apple has many more unannounced features for the Vision Pro headset

At the beginning of the month, Apple finally officially unveiled its first augmented headset.

and virtual reality Apple Vision Pro. Its capabilities are impressive, but, as it turned out, the company has developed many more functions that it did not talk about at the presentation.

What does it mean

Wayne Ma of The Information says,that Apple has been working on or has already developed several unannounced features that could be added to the headset's launch (early 2024) or even later with visionOS software updates. Or they may not add it at all.

Former employees who worked ondevice, it was reported that the company has many more fitness apps planned, including interaction with content on an exercise bike and even special headbands that absorb sweat well. There have also been discussions about collaborating with brands like Nike for headset-based workouts.

Additionally, Apple wanted the headset to be able totrack the user's entire body, and not just the movements of his head and arms. This feature is one of the reasons why the device is equipped with two downward-facing cameras that can see the wearer's body and hands. Earlier this month, Apple representatives told developers that full body tracking would not be available even when the Vision Pro went on sale.

The report states that Apple planned to make 3D content available on Apple TV+, but this may be announced later.
