Apple's Future Generation Vision Pro Can Help Prevent Addicts To Painful Drugs

Apple Vision Pro can detect the discomfort experienced by users

JAKARTA - Apple is researching how the use of mixed reality technology in Apple Vision Pro can help provide pain relievers for injured users. Based on the latest patent received, Apple plans to bring Apple Vision Pro deeper into the health realm, helping users distract them from discomfort due to injury or medical condition.

The patent shows that Apple Vision Pro can detect the discomfort experienced by users through physiological sensors, and then adjust the content displayed to help reduce the perception of pain. It's not just a matter of detecting headaches and playing songs, but a system that can monitor the user's level of comfort in a sustainable manner.

Apple says that discomfort can arise from old injuries or ongoing medical conditions. To address this, Vision Pro will adjust content based on monitoring the user's level of attention. This technology will modify content, such as changing the volume or diverting the display, in order to bring user attention back to the content that is being displayed and reduce focus on pain.

Paten tersebut memberikan contoh spektif, misalnya jika seorang pengguna kehilangan arm, Vision Pro dapat menampilkan arm virtual yang realistik dalam lingkungan XR (Extended Reality). Begitu pula dengan pengguna yang mengalami luka, sistem dapat menyimulating kulit tanpa luka, bahkan menghapus luka secara virtual.

Apple hopes that this technology will not only provide more convenience, but can also reduce dependence on pain relievers such as opioids, which have the potential to cause addiction.

With this technology, Apple Vision Pro can be more than just a mixed reality device, but also a medical therapy tool to help users cope with physical discomfort without having to rely on drugs.
