In one of Apple's XR Headset published this week we see a well thought out camera system. It's a clear project being that two different teams were assigned to explore it. The first patent that we discovered on a scene camera was published back in 2020. We posted a patent report on this titled " Apple Invents a 'Scene Camera' System for a future HMD device that brings Vivid Imagery directly to the user's eyes." This week another scene camera related patent was published by USPTO.

Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple a patent that relates to a new HMD camera system that includes a two-dimensional array of cameras that capture images of respective portions of a scene.

Over the next few years, Apple next-big thing will involve a series of Mixed Reality Head Mounted Devices and Smartglasses. The camera system that Apple could be implementing over time is an advanced camera system that's anything but conventional. It's a next-gen HMD scene camera system that includes a two-dimensional array of cameras that capture images of respective portions of a scene.
