A Apple avalia adicionar câmeras e inteligência visual aos seus relógios inteligentes, diz a Bloomberg. A companhia está considerando trazer as mudanças a partir dos relógios Séries e Ultra.
No caso dos primeiros, a câmera ficaria instalada dentro da tela, similar à câmera frontal do iPhone. Já o Ultra terá uma abordagem diferente, com a câmera do lado do botão, o que facilitaria, por exemplo, caso o usuário quisesse escanear algo.A ideia é implementar o Visual Intelligence, presente nos iPhones 16, para alguns wearables. O recurso permite utilizar a câmera e enviar fotografias para serem analisadas pelo ChatGPT ou pelo Google Search. No futuro, a Apple quer que o Visual Intelligence use seus próprios modelos de IA.
Relógios que oferecem suporte para chamada de vídeo, porém, são uma realidade distante. As telas são muito pequenas para realizar teleconferência e a posição da câmera, no caso do Ultra, pode tornar a atividade desconfortável.
AirPods e IA: os próximos passos
A Apple também quer adicionar inteligência visual aos AirPods em versões futuras, o que permitiria detectar o ambiente ao redor e fornecer informações ao usuário com apoio da IA. Esses recursos, no entanto, ainda estão a gerações de distância e devem chegar ao mercado apenas por volta de 2027.
Para que tudo funcione, a empresa ainda precisa aprimorar sua IA. Hoje, a Apple depende de soluções terceirizadas e corre atrás de competidores como a OpenAI e o Google, que já oferecem sistemas mais avançados.
Enquanto desenvolve os novos recursos, a empresa enfrenta obstáculos em outros projetos. O monitoramento de pressão arterial, recurso há anos aguardado pelos usuários do Apple Watch, tem enfrentado dificuldades técnicas e atrasos.
Outro desafio é o novo Apple Watch SE com corpo de plástico. Segundo a Bloomberg, a equipe de operações da Apple tem criticado o visual do relógio e enfrenta dificuldades para tornar o material mais barato que o alumínio, como era o plano original.
