There are reports that Apple will be adding a camera to its new AirPods model. Tech publication MacRumors, citing a report from TF International Securities in Taiwan, said Apple plans to release a new AirPods model with an infrared camera module by 2026.
According to the report, the camera on the AirPods will be for recognition, not shooting, and will be similar to the Face ID receiver on the iPhone. Apple will use this to allow the AirPods to sense changes in their surroundings and enhance user-device interaction.
Specifically, Apple aims to integrate the camera-equipped AirPods with the Vision Pro, its mixed-reality (MR) headset released earlier this year, to enhance the Vision Pro's spatial audio capabilities. When users use the AirPods and Vision Pro together, they can expect an increased sense of immersion as the sound from a specific direction is emphasized when they turn their heads in that direction.
These moves by Apple seem to be an attempt to maximize synergy between AirPods and MR devices, aiming to further enhance the user experience. It remains to be seen how Apple's new technological applications will provide innovative experiences for consumers.
