Apple Vision Pro – Why It May Be Lousy for Watching Movies on a Plane

Could the Vision pro just track you based on your environment rather than the accelerometer while on a plane? That would prevent any kind of drift. If that R1 chips is as fast as they say then that doesn’t seem unreasonable.

Based on what they have said in interviews, I have a feeling that is exactly what they are doing.

My guess is that they combine a number of signals to do the tracking, and when those signals start to disagree too much they've prioritized some signals over others. That could include things like how your eyes are tracking and other physiological signals, not just the accelerometer and various cameras.

This is what the Meta and Windows MR headsets do as well, it's not even that intensive.

Most inside-out headsets like the Quest and PSVR already do this. It hardly has anything to do about system power, and is more about resolving contradictory sensor readings.
