据报道,苹果公司仍在努力完善VisionPro的全身追踪技术,以便该平台最终支持健身应用。

Last week, The Information's Wayne Ma reported that Apple cut full-body tracking from the Vision Pro "years ago" because the company's engineers "couldn't ensure its reliability," but he didn't mention whether the company was still working on and releasing a successor. But his report didn't mention whether the company is still working on and releasing a follow-up version.Ma also reported last year that the headset would use a downward-facing camera to track the legs, while accurately describing the headset's rumored OpticID iris authentication system.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports today that Apple is still "working on perfecting" full-body tracking technology, including legs, to support fitness apps, and Gurman writes that Apple's internal team is still considering a First Party Apple Fitness+ app for visionOS.

Apple didn't mention anything about fitness at its June event and didn't show any examples of apps with fast body movements.

existMetaFitness has become a major usage scenario on Meta's Quest platform, and Meta acquired the developer of the most popular fitness app, Supernatural, earlier this year. Other popular virtual reality fitness apps include FitXR and Les Mills Bodycombat.

Meta plans to add internal upper body tracking to the Quest 3 in a December software update, utilizing the Quest 3's downward-facing side camera. However, this feature won't track your legs, only the area above them, and Meta plans to roll out a "Generate Legs" feature in the same update that will use artificial intelligence to estimate the position of your legs.

Gurman reports that Apple told some developers that full-body tracking would not be available at the product's first release (which is expected to be in "early 2024"), and that the feature was not mentioned at WWDC, where Apple gave prospective developers a full overview of visionOS's capabilities. Therefore, if Apple is able to "perfect" full-body tracking to meet its quality standards, it is expected to do so through subsequent software updates.
