Apple’s fingerprint recognition has Touch ID, and facial recognition has Face ID, but neither of them is very suitable forVision Pro for Headset. Therefore, the mixed reality device will be equipped with a new “Optic ID” system for biometric identification. Optic ID uses invisible infrared light to scan your iris, and then compares the stored iris information for verification. Like other biometric systems, Optic ID will be used for unlocking the machine itself, making purchases on the App Store, Apple Pay, and autofill verification.
Apple stresses that your iris information is encrypted and stored in a “secure compartment” on the device. It never leaves the device, nor can it be read by the app. Like FaceID, Apple does not really save the image, but the representative data extracted from the image, so there is no need to worry regarding the risk if it is obtained.
In addition to Optic ID, other sensor information collected by Vision Pro is also protected by layers of privacy. Camera and eye-tracking information is processed locally on the hardware, so neither Apple nor third-party companies have access to your gaze data. At the same time, third-party apps cannot obtain the images captured by the camera, so as to spy on your environment. On the other hand, if you use the camera or video function of Vision Pro, your front display will flash to tell others that you are shooting.
Apple products have always paid attention to the “startup” experience of the product. Whether it is the original Touch ID or Face ID, they are trying their best to be invisible in the user experience without additional unlocking actions. Optic ID is no exception here. Even if Face ID or Touch ID cannot be easily applied, it can also hide the unlocking experience, so that users can start using the device when they wear it.
