The patent is titled “devices, methods and graphical interfaces for interacting with virtual objects using hand gestures”.
In the documentation attached to the Patent Office, the Cupertino company highlights that the development of computer systems for Augmented Reality (AR) has grown considerably in recent years, citing examples of augmented reality environments that include virtual elements that replace or enrich the world that surrounds the user. Input devices such as cameras, controllers, joysticks, touch sensitive surfaces, and touch screens are used to interact with virtual/augmented reality environments and virtual objects, images, video text, icons, virtual buttons, etc.
However, Apple believes that some methods and interfaces for viewing and interacting with virtual objects using hand gestures are “cumbersome, inefficient and limited”, highlighting the need for better and advanced interface methods that allow you to better and more intuitively interact with virtual objects. virtual objects.
Simplifying, Apple has foreseen the use of Apple Watch to interact remotely with the Mac or Apple TV, allowing the user to manipulate virtual objects displayed on these devices.
The US site PatentlyApple refers to the patent, with other details; from the drawings attached to the patents the user can be seen standing or sitting, able to control various objects, taking into account the position of the wrist, for example starting and stopping the reproduction of multimedia elements, starting/stopping a video recording, etc.
As always, we remind you that Apple patents hundreds of patents every year and what is registered with the Patent Office does not always turn into real products.
