Apple's Vision Pro privacy protections limit some developer capabilities
• Apple has strict privacy protections for Vision Pro to avoid a Google Glass-level privacy backlash, including limits on third-party camera access.
• Developers say the restrictions impact their ability to build certain apps, like fitness apps that interact with real objects or accessibility apps.
• One developer wants camera access to build a premium fitness app with AI and mixed reality features.
• Another developer says the limits prevented an accessibility app to help people with disabilities navigate surroundings.
• The article cites just two developers, so the extent of the issue is unclear, but Apple likely has good reason for the strict protections.
