Apple is developing a new version of the Apple Watch that will have a built-in camera to expand its "visual intelligence" capabilities, Bloomberg reports.
Apple is reportedly working on a version of its smartwatch that will feature a camera, expanding the company's "visual intelligence" features that are currently only available on the latest iPhone models. The regular Apple Watch will have the camera integrated into the display, while the Ultra version will have the camera on the side.
The new Apple Watch is expected to be a practical tool for identifying objects or translating text in an image. Apple will also be able to collect more data to improve its artificial intelligence systems.
Despite these innovations, Apple has struggled to deliver AI features. The company has already had to delay the rollout of a smarter Siri because Apple still couldn't get it to work properly. The long-awaited blood pressure measurement feature has also never been implemented.
The introduction of cameras to the Apple Watch could be both a breakthrough and a failure, but it underscores the company's commitment to improving products and expanding the capabilities of artificial intelligence.
