Apple’s headset may be able to detect food. Does this feature make sense?

Meaningful, this feature is very useful for some people who need to control their diet.

Infrared sensing technology for food inspection

Use infrared sensors to collect the spectrum of target objects. The system can use infrared spectroscopy, visible light camera images and/or data from other sensors, alone or in combination, to characterize target objects, and could potentially be used in Apple's head-mounted augmented reality devices. For example, the system could be used for tasks such as food image recognition. Through image recognition of food, certain information stored in the database can be triggered. This information includes certain food characteristics such as freshness, fat content, food type, sweetness, etc., so the doneness and calorie content of the food can be assessed. Apple patent

1. MacBook heart rate measurement: According to the patent report, the Macbook is equipped with a processing unit that is operable to transmit optical energy to the user's body parts through a first set of micro-perforations. , receiving a reflected portion of the optical energy from the user's body part through the second set of micro-perforations, and analyzing the reflected portion of the optical energy to determine the information. According to the illustration, MacBook may support heart rate measurement.

2. Apple VR optical system: According to the patent report, the optical system can be a catadioptric optical system with one or more lens elements. Lens elements may include plano-convex lenses and plano-concave lenses. The partial mirror may be formed on the convex surface of the plano-convex lens. The reflective polarizer may be formed on the planar surface of the plano-convex lens or the concave surface of the plano-concave lens. An additional quarter-wave plate can be located between the reflective polarizer and the partially reflective mirror.

3. Apple 5G/LTE dual connection: According to the patent report, Apple submitted this patent application in February 2018, which mainly supports the iPhone’s 5G/LTE dual connection dual connection. The wireless device may be configured to transmit a request to attach to a first network node operating in accordance with the first RAT, and the transmitting wireless device is capable of maintaining substantially concurrent connections with the first network node and a second network node operating in accordance with the second RAT instructions. The wireless device may also be configured to transmit a request to attach to the second network node. The request may include an indication that the wireless device is capable of maintaining substantially concurrent connections with the first network node and the second network node.
