Apple enters the era of iris Optic ID security: "escort" for Vision Pro head display

Thank you, CTOnews.com netizens, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, June 6 (Xinhua)-- after fingerprint recognition Touch ID and face recognition Face ID, Apple has introduced Optic ID iris biometric technology into the newly launched Vision Pro head display.

Just as iPhone users use Face ID to verify the identity of the host, how do you verify the identity of the Vision Pro wearer? Apple's answer is that the Optic ID,Vision Pro head display has a built-in iris sensor that scans the wearer's eyeball data and matches the previously preset owner information.

Apple says Optic ID can be used to replace passwords, to automatically unlock, to make purchases on App Store, or to use Apple Pay to pay for purchases.

Apple stressed that the iris data created by Optic ID is stored in the head-displayed security exclusion zone (Secure Enclave), stored offline, and will not be open to applications.
