Apple's Magic Mouse May Get Vision Pro-Like Gesture Control

Apple explores new device interaction methods. A patent reveals a potential transformation in Magic Mouse usage. Inspired by Vision Pro's gesture interface, Apple aims to eliminate user-computer barriers. The patent describes a system with optical sensors, LEDs, and infrared. It detects hand movements in the air without touching the mouse. Magic Mouse becomes a gesture hub for remote interaction. The system projects interactive elements onto the desk. Users can "touch" virtual buttons and icons to trigger actions. Workspaces extend beyond the screen, resembling hologram manipulation. Technology mirrors Vision Pro gestures like pinch and hold, swipe, and pinch and drag. Apple bridges augmented reality and traditional computers. The technology may integrate into trackpads, monitors, or mobile devices.
