A new patent shows Apple is working on letting the Vision Pro headset visualize invisible energy like Wi-Fi signals and radio waves. Here’s how it could work.
This could help engineers diagnose problems, or let you fix them yourself. Sensors don’t necessarily need to be on headset, but could be on connected device, such as Apple Watch or iPhone.
My first thought too. Like at first I was “oh cool apple is implementing that too for their pricy headset”, but to patent the thing I already used at a demo at defcon last year (wifi signal piece at least) and what the hololens has been marketing around for years, absolutely wild.

Doesn’t this already exist with other devices already? I’ve seen Hololens and the Magicleap do this already… and an iPad too.
Right, now they are trying to patent it.
