Apple recently filed a new patent for its Apple watch functionality, in order to use watch as gesture remote for VR gaming. The watch is preloaded with tiny cameras/sensors, to capture the hand movement through the veins of the user and respond accordingly for any movement in the VR game.
The granted patent 10,698,497 was filed way back in 2018 with the title “vein scanning device for the automatic gesture and finger recognition” and got published a few days ago by the US Patent and Trademark Office.
The patent could really help with gaming factor as the apple watch is very compact and handy for VR gaming. Having a commercial implementation of this innovation would be interesting to watch!!
