The Vision framework is a powerful tool provided by Apple that offers a range of computer vision APIs for developers to create advanced apps and experiences. Here are some key features and enhancements of the Vision framework as presented at WWDC:

  1. Face and Landmark Detection: Vision can detect faces and facial landmarks such as eyes, nose, and mouth.
  2. Text Recognition: The framework can recognize text in 18 different languages, including Korean, Swedish, and Chinese.
  3. Body Pose and Trajectory Tracking: Useful for health and fitness applications, Vision can track body poses and trajectories.
  4. Hand Pose Tracking: This feature enables new ways of interacting with Apple devices without touching the screen.
  5. New Swift API: A new API with streamlined syntax designed for Swift has been introduced, making it easier to integrate computer vision capabilities into apps.
  6. Hand Pose Detection and Body Pose Requests: New features include hand pose detection and body pose requests, enhancing the framework's capabilities.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the session Discover Swift enhancements in the Vision framework.
