I want to see a scanner app that nails flattening out book pages. The spatial data is needed to triangulate depth accurately.

That should be possible already with the LIDAR, I think.

I think the idea here was that depth = shadow.

Eh, the GPU changes with ray tracing were supposed to land last year as part of A16 but heat issues required them to pull it. The bright side is that if you are on a yearly release cadence then you don’t let one thing slip the whole SOC (assuming, as Apple does, that you have a risk on and risk off design going simultaneously). Your are right on that the Vision Pro will have a M3 not M2.

>Eh, the GPU changes with ray tracing were supposed to land last year as part of A16 but heat issues required them to pull it. Where did you read about this? Is there some publication that publishes insights into things like this?
