AirPods Pro 4 Could Feature Cameras to 'See Around You'

It looks like these cameras are infrared and intended to see gestures from the wearer. There are some more details in the linked article:

> The IR cameras can detect environmental image changes, facilitating a broader range of gestures to improve user interaction. For example, if a user watches a video using Apple Vision Pro and the new AirPods, and turns their head to look in a specific direction, the sound source in that direction can be "emphasized to enhance the spatial audio/computing experience."

I wonder if the signal could be integrated into AR glasses or headset to provide a wider FOV to the wearer.

I just want a feature that helps me find the one that runs away after I fall asleep with them in >:(

Is it possible for tech to "jump the shark"?

There was an old video about the new app for your BlackBerry that would show you what's on the other side of your BlackBerry. At the time we believed this to be a joke, rather than a product development brief.

So in Japan, will the audio play on the outside of the headphone?

So you want to get AirPods banned everywhere… genius
