According to the information, when Apple officially launches the much-anticipated mixed reality headset sometime next year, it will bring you some unexpected features, which are more than 7 years immersed in the VR market. Meta shines even more.
Apple’s device is expected to scan the wearer’s iris so they can quickly log into their accounts simply by wearing the device on their head, two people involved in the development of Apple’s headset said.
People familiar with the matter said the feature will help Apple’s multi-user system, even if several people use the same device, and allow them to make quick payments through the MR headset’s iris recognition security system, like an iPhone fingerprint or Face payment is just as convenient.
According to public information, iris detection is an automated method of biometric identification. It uses an iris detector to shoot and uses cloud computing recognition technology to identify images of one or two irises of an individual’s eyes. The complex pattern of the iris is unique and stable. , and can reflect the current state of the body.
The iris is the annular part of the human eye structure located between the sclera and the pupil. It can automatically adjust the size of the pupil according to the intensity of the light. There are many pigment cells in the iris, and the amount of pigment contained in the pigment cells also determines the color of the iris. In addition to color, the iris has intricately detailed features such as spots, filaments, crowns, and stripes that will accompany a person throughout life.
The specific process of iris recognition is as follows: first, collect information, record the iris information with an iris acquisition device, divide the information in the iris into a plurality of quantitative feature points, and then store the iris information into a database by coding. Then there is identification. Generally, a camera that can emit an infrared light source is aimed at the eyes, and the iris area is automatically focused by the built-in algorithm, and the iris information of the person is scanned, and then the iris information is converted into codes and compared with the information in the database to finally identify the identity.
Iris recognition has many advantages over commonly used fingerprint recognition. The accuracy of iris recognition is high, with a false recognition rate of only one in a million, which is far lower than that of fingerprint recognition; iris input is fast, and general fingerprint recognition requires multiple pressings, and the input process is very cumbersome. It only takes a second to a few seconds; the iris can be recognized at a distance, and the recognition can be completed without direct contact, which is convenient and fast; the iris also has subtle dynamic characteristics, which can make it almost impossible to fake an iris.
It is worth mentioning that Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also previously stated that the Apple AR/VR headset will be equipped with an eye-tracking system, and the eye-tracking system of the headset can support iris recognition. He believes that if the Apple headset can realize iris recognition, it is expected to bring a new Apple Pay payment method.
The report expects Apple’s headsets to feature eye-tracking systems. The system includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitting end provides one or several invisible lights with different wavelengths, and the receiving end detects the change of the invisible light reflected by the eyeball, and judges the movement of the eyeball based on the change.
