Although technology is in the early stages of development, Apple sees the great potential here.
Apple is working on the introduction of interfaces that will allow control of the iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro’s control just by thinking, reporting The Wall Street Journal in the new report.
The technology was developed in collaboration with the Synchron, which created the stentrode implant – a stent – like a device planted in a root above the motor cortex of the brain. Through electrodes, he reads brain signals that can be converted into digital commands. Since 2019, the stentrode has been implants for ten patients.
Apple creates a protocol that will allow stentrode and other similar devices to interact with iOS, Macos and Visionos interfaces.
One of the first testers of technology was Mark Jackson, who lives in a suburb of Pittsburgh (USA) and suffers from the tilt of amyotrophic sclerosis. Despite the impossibility of movement, he, with the help of the Apple Vision Pro, and the Synchron Implant, “visited” the Alps in virtual reality and even felt his legs trembling, looking from the hillside.
Within the IOS 19 framework, the company also improves personal voice function, which is shown on iOS 17 in 2023. It allows users to create a digital copy of their voice in the event of losing their ability to speak. In the past, for this it was necessary to voice 150 phrases, and processing took a lot of time. Now – only 10 phrases are processed for less than a minute, while the result is more natural.
In addition, starting with iOS 19 and Visionos 3, which will be released in the fall, the company will add support for the new Switch Control Protocol, which gives you to manage devices without physical movements.
Apple emphasizes that new functioning are not just innovative technologies, but the real support for millions of people around the world. In particular, the company hopes that technology will change the lives of sick people affecting movement and speech.
Project terms have not been called.
