Apple VisionPro offers many unique 3D experiences, but the one I wish to be available on other devices, including the iPhone and the iPad, is spatial FaceTime.
Digitally crafted alternative realities can be exciting or discomforting, based on how you envision them. But Apple, among other companies invested in AR- and VR-dominant future, clearly wants you to focus on the bright side. That’s why Apple spent a substantial chunk of time at its WWDC 2023 developer conference to highlight the various features of the Apple Vision Pro — Apple’s extravagant new mixed reality headset.
Another way Apple looks to amaze non-users is by using virtual avatars in FaceTime. With the headset, Apple is hailing the new era of “spatial FaceTime,” where videos of each participant will appear in windows that lace real environments of the Vision Pro users. But the people on the other side will not see your face wrapped in the headgear.
They shouldn’t be exclusive to Vision Pro There are good reasons why Virtual FaceTime avatars are suited for other Apple devices just as well as the Vision Pro. Apple has the tricks up its sleeves already Apple has already laid the groundwork for this transition to realistic avatars, putting years of work into creating and improving Animoji. These large animated emojis on Apple devices mimic a person’s facial expressions and head movements.
Favoring our argument is also the fact that Apple hasn’t updated the visual appearance of Animoji in recent years. The last Animoji update close to the iPhone 14 launch had only added new animations and a few more facial expressions, leaving room for improvement. Mobile devices are the gateway to AR Besides using the iPhone’s TrueDepth camera to create virtual personas for FaceTime, the iPad Pro and iPhone Pro models are well equipped to replicate each participant’s tiles in FaceTime geometrically spread out on the Vision Pro. The iPad Pro and iPhone have featured a lidar scanner along with the cameras on the back.
