Apple has Won a Patent for Wearable Force Sensing VR Accessories #WearableWednesday
Patents don’t always lead to new products but this new wearable tech from Apple could be exciting. Is Apple entering the VR market? This patent could be a sign of a new way to interact.
Apple’s invention and granted patent covers a next-gen wearable electronic device that gathers force input. The device may transmit force measurement information and other input to external equipment such as a head-mounted device to control the external equipment.
For example, the device may have wireless communications circuitry that wirelessly transmits force measurement information to an external electronic device to control the external device.
