On Thursday, the U.S. Patent Office Published the Largest Dump of Apple Vision Pro related patents in a single day

X1  Vision Pro template

On November 19, Patently Apple posted a report titled "Apple was granted 76 patents today covering Virtual Paper, a No Notch iPhone, 2 Master Vision Pro Patents and more." The report noted that we've many times before that there's no such thing as a single patent representing the entirety of an Apple device. You'll never find a single “iPhone” or “Vision Pro” patent. Instead, Apple files patents for parts of a device so that if they’re ever sued for patent infringement, they're not in jeopardy of having a device pulled from the market. For instance, in the case of Apple having to drop their Blood Oxygen feature, it didn’t mean the whole Apple Watch couldn't be sold.

With that said, there are time when Apple reveals, what we've called  a Master patent wherein an overview of device is being explained. It’s the closest thing to a full patent. On Tuesday Apple was granted two Mega Master patents for Vision Pro.

Two days later, the U.S. Patent Office published the biggest dump of Apple Vision ever recorded. For those who want to know everything possible about Vision Pro that exists today and possibly in the future, today's list of patents could keep you busy for a week's worth of reading.

Two-Handed Gesture Interpretation

Apple's patent covers devices, systems, and methods that interpret user activity, such as two hand gestures, as user interactions with virtual elements positioned within a three-dimensional (3D) space. For example, an example process may include receiving data corresponding to user activity involving two hands in a 3D coordinate system. The process may further include identifying actions performed by the two hands based on the data corresponding to the user activity, each of the two hands performing one of the identified actions. The process may further include determining whether the identified actions satisfy a criterion for a gesture type based on the data corresponding to the user activity. The process may further include interpreting the identified actions based on a reference element corresponding to the gesture type, wherein different gesture types correspond to different reference elements in accordance with determining that the identified actions satisfy the criterion for the gesture type.

Apple's patent FIGS. 6A-6B illustrates an example of tracking the movements of two hands during an interaction and FIG. 7 illustrates an example of interaction recognition of two hands.
