Future HomePod Could Feature 3D Hand Gestures and Face ID

A recently published Apple patent application suggests that a future HomePod could feature support for 3D hand gestures, Face ID, and much more. While the patent application does not refer to the HomePod by name, it describes a voice-controlled assistant device such as a “countertop speaker” with various sensors and cameras that “gather hand gestures and other three-dimensional gesture input.”
