Apple's new patent unveiled: Vision Pro headset sweat-proof design improves wearing comfort

Recently, the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO) issued a new patent obtained by Apple. The patent involves Apple's upcoming Vision Pro head-mounted device. The patent proposes a new anti-sweat design solution aimed at improving users' comfort when wearing the headset for long periods of time.

According to patent documents, this patent titled "Electronic Device with Sweat-proof Structure" mainly solves the problem of users wearing Vision for a long time. Sweat issues that may occur with Pro headsets. Due to the tight fit of the headset, users may sweat after prolonged use, which may not only cause discomfort, but may also cause sweat to drip into the eyes or be absorbed by the device, resulting in odor and bacterial accumulation. Apple’s patented design this time is precisely to solve this problem from the source.

According to the editor’s understanding, Apple proposed an innovative anti-sweat structure in this patent. Specifically, the head-mounted display device includes a main housing part and a display within it, which is responsible for providing images to the goggles. At the same time, the head-mounted display device is also equipped with a device called Light Seal is a component that attaches to the main housing section and at least partially surrounds the eyecup. Light Moisture-conducting channels are designed in the Seal. These channels can be formed by grooves or moisture-absorbent fabrics. Their main function is to guide sweat and other moisture away from the eye mask, thereby keeping the eye mask dry and clean.

In addition, Apple also mentioned in this patent a control circuit that can adjust the operation of the fan based on the humidity, temperature or fog detected by the sensor to further improve the sweat-proof performance of the device. At the same time, a moisture-resistant sealing strip was also introduced into the design, which includes a directional pattern of grooves through which moisture can be efficiently directed away from the eyecup. To prevent sweat from penetrating into the device to a greater extent, Apple has also placed a moisture-proof layer between the inner foam layer and the outer light-blocking fabric.

This new patent shows Apple’s efforts to continuously improve the comfort of head-mounted devices. With the innovative anti-sweat design, Apple is expected to bring users a drier and more comfortable virtual reality experience.
