Double Tap feels like a stepping stone to future Vision Pro integration.

Apple introduced a new Apple Watch Series 9 feature called Double Tap, which uses hand gestures to control the watch one-handed. Double-tapping fingers can be customized to control individual watch functions, which works in a similar way to gesture-based accessibility controls that were introduced on the watch previously.

However, the official onboard tap function feels like a different step. It'll be useful for things like answering calls, but it's also similar in spirit to some of Apple Vision Pro's hand tracking-based gesture features.

The Vision Pro doesn't work with the Apple Watch (yet). But it should, eventually, and the watch's haptics and display could also make it a key AR accessory. Is Apple connecting the dots slowly here?
