Apple’s Vision Pro headset is set to revolutionize security in the company’s products with a unique approach that centers around your eyes. This upcoming mixed reality device will utilize an Optic ID system, which had been previously rumored, to analyze your irises using invisible LED light exposures. By comparing this data to your enrolled eye data, the headset can authenticate your identity, allowing you to use it as a password replacement and make purchases in the App Store or via Apple Pay.
Apple emphasizes that the security of your eye data is of utmost importance. It will be encrypted and isolated within the headset’s Secure Enclave, never leaving the device and remaining inaccessible to apps. Similar to the Face ID and Touch ID systems, there will be no actual images or ways for intruders to misuse the raw information.
