Apple develops new AirPods with visual intelligence capabilities
Apple is reportedly developing a new version of its AirPods, identified by the development name B798, which may feature integrated sensors for visual intelligence. While rumors have circulated for some time, a demo video discovered by MacRumors suggests the device could use visual data to assist users, such as scanning a book to save it for later via a Siri-like interface.
Unlike Meta’s AI glasses, which have faced criticism regarding privacy and covert surveillance, reports from Bloomberg suggest these AirPods will not be designed to record video or photos. Instead, sensors are expected to provide visual context to Siri, allowing the AI to perform tasks like recognizing objects or reading text to set reminders or facilitate online searches.
