Deep dives
Concerns about the Vision Pro's Privacy and Data Collection
The Vision Pro, Apple's latest face computer, has raised privacy concerns due to its extensive data collection capabilities. With 12 cameras, six microphones, and multiple sensors, the device can map out users' surroundings, track their movements, and even monitor eye movements. This raises questions about who has access to this data, how it will be used, and the potential for surveillance. While Apple has implemented some limitations to protect user privacy, concerns remain about the data that is not restricted and the potential for third-party app developers to access and utilize sensitive information.
