Synchron, known for its brain-computer interface technology, has set its sights on the Apple Vision Pro after previously testing out similar technology with the iPad and iPhone.

Synchron has successfully implanted a brain-computer interface (BCI) into the brain of Mark, a 64-year-old man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). With this BCI, Mark is able to control an Apple Vision Pro — something he couldn’t do before due to the loss of function in his arms and hands.
Mark uses the BCI to move a cursor around a screen while he plays solitaire, to pick videos to watch in a theater-like experience, and to send text messages.
