Apple looks to bring ‘respiration tracking’ to Vision Pro

The Apple Vision Pro spatial computer
Apple continues working to bring advanced monitoring features to its Vision Pro spatial computer, including respiration tracking, which are still under development and might be introduced with future updates to VisionOS or subsequent versions of the Vision Pro. Apple has also filed patents for Vision Pro sensors that track hydration levels, signs of intoxication, body temperature, and dehydration.

Apple Vision Pro rumors are swirling as we near WWDC in a few days, and now we’re learning Apple has filed a patent for health sensors on the device that could track the wearer’s respiration. New code in the Mindfulness app and references to “respiration tracking” have been spotted in VisionOS, in addition to the patent.
It’s unclear exactly what the respiration tracking feature will do or when it will be released to Vision Pro users, but it could be a way to take the breathing exercises Apple Watch users perform with Mindfulness to the next level. Using Vision Pro’s cameras and sensors to detect and track the user’s breathing rate and patterns could offer personalized breathing exercises and analyze respiration data to provide insights into the user’s stress level and well-being…
While the respiration tracking feature has no release date, Apple is scheduled to host its WWDC 2024 on June 10, 2024, where the company is expected to unveil VisionOS 2.
