"Apple's Vision Pro Patent Unveils Innovative External Display and 'EyeSight' Communication Features"

Apple, under the influence of former design lead Jony Ive, patented various concepts for the outer display of its Vision Pro headset, which is primarily an augmented reality (AR) device. The headset's EyeSight feature allows for the display of the user's eyes or abstract patterns to indicate the user's engagement level, promoting human connection as per Apple's AR philosophy. While additional patented ideas suggest more specific indicators of what the user is doing, it's believed that Apple has likely rejected these in favor of privacy and simplicity, sticking to a basic available/unavailable indicator. The release date of Vision Pro remains unknown.
