With more details on Apple Vision Pro being available during WWDC23, developers found out that in current release of visionOS access to outward facing cameras will not be provided to third-party applications.

The only access apps could get is simulated camera with user's Digital Persona (and only if user approves access). This camera will act like front facing camera on iPhone allowing recoding of user's face reconstructed using ML model.

In order to build immersive AR experiences developers have to rely on ARKit entities and scene understanding capabilities.

This fall businesses will be able to accept digital ID stored in Apple Wallet to verify customers. This could be used to verify identity or just customer's age. Biometric authentication will be required to access ID.

Starting this fall, businesses will be able to accept IDs in Apple Wallet — no additional hardware needed. This will streamline their ability to securely check a customer’s age in person for things like alcohol purchases, or to verify a customer’s identity at checkout for car rentals, and more. To seamlessly and securely present their ID in Wallet to an enabled business, users simply hold their iPhone or Apple Watch near the business’s iPhone. Users will be shown what information is being requested and whether the receiving party will be storing the information. Users will then be asked to authenticate and consent by using Face ID or Touch ID.
