It seems unusual for Apple to share stuff like this (a lot of what went into Vision was kept secret). Is it for investors? I assume this means that this is far from being incorporated into any product.
I've read stories about how Apple was having trouble attracting certain researchers (academics) because they didn't allow them to publish their research.
This might be Apple's way of attracting a larger swath of academics, given that this kind of more pure research doesn't risk leaking future product roadmaps too much (which is mainly what Apple cares about with this sort of thing)
