We know that their price sets them apart from the usual consumer, but if there is one thing that cannot be denied, it is that the Apple Vision Pro sparks debate: they are the new Apple product for many years and they are so revolutionary that all current technology is keeping a close eye on them. And in the middle of the mess, a name: Jonathan Ive, Jony Ive for his friends.
Jony Ive left Apple in 2019. And three years later, we’re still seeing the fruits of his labor. This week, a patent filed by Patently Apple and issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office was published, which shows that the great designer of the iPod, iPhone or iPad was also involved in the development of Vision Pro. And the fruit of his ingenuity turns out to be quite profitable: The first 200,000 units have already been sold, according to data from Macrumors which reproduces a report by Ming-Chi Kuo. But the key is the patent, what is behind this recording?

Apparently, this patent granted to Apple concerns head-mounted displays (HMD), that is to say transparent screens which allow us to see content but also allow our eyes to see, to “facilitate the interaction between a user and a another person or environment.This is the same as Apple Vision Pro’s EyeSight feature and it has hundreds of possible applications, like letting other users know when you’re watching a movie or playing a video game, hanging a “Do Not Disturb” sign as if it were a person’s private room. teenager.
As can be seen in the different images, this EyeSight screen would be used to represent different images, weather information, emojis and other cyberpunk elements like photos or diagrams that take advantage of the shape of the eyes they cover. Many of these implementations do not exist or it is unclear whether they will be implemented. The Vision Pro’s outdoor performance and operability have yet to be tested extensively, and the operating system that governs everything, visionOS, is still in full development.
The truth is that I left Apple somewhat dissatisfied with the company’s industry. His emotional bond with Steve Jobs no longer pushed him to continue creating innovative designs. In fact, he went with some of his creators from June to LoveFrom with intending to start from scratch, to think about the future. Apple Vision Pro glasses, on the other hand, are Tim Cook’s great legacy, what Steve Jobs’ first iPhone was.
And in recent months, we learned that he was working with Sam Altman on an unknown project that seeks to rethink the “AI iPhone.” As it was, He has always been and will be one of the great masters of design: We even owe him the halls of honor at Apple Park like the Steve Jobs Theater. And his vision of the future Vision Pro, pardon the redundancy, seems to have been somewhat prescient.
