New research shows how Apple Vision Pro could watch how you breathe to help with mindfulness


Newly revealed research from Apple shows that it has been exploring how to get Apple Vision Pro to track its wearer's breathing as part of health monitoring.

Back in June 2024, code found in visionOS suggested that the Apple Vision Pro was going to get respiratory tracking. So it's roughly 15,000 words and 16 pages of drawings concentrate on how this is a use of "coherent optical sensing, including Doppler velocimetry and heterodyning." It says that this "can be used to measure physical phenomena including presence, distance, velocity, size, surface properties, and particle count."
