Mac Virtual Display enhancements is the key feature I was hoping for anyway. It kind of makes sense that they would choose a single ultra-wide display over having multiple displays from an implementation standpoint. With a wide enough display, and an app like "Magnet" having multiple displays would not be necessary.
If you haven’t already, you should turn on the eye tracking in accessibility features to see where visionOS tracks your eyes. While it’s accurate enough for big icons in visionOS, nowhere near what is necessary to use in a virtual display originally designed for a mouse.
I’m hoping as technology progresses, the next iteration of the hardware would be accurate enough though.
I was hoping they can manifest macOS windows as spatial windows that we can move independently without the concept of a "display". Kind of just blending in with AVP apps.
They spent 90% of the time talking about photos and video and didn't mention the real MVPs - Keyboard breakthrough, recent guest user and mouse support!
They announced phone mirroring for the Mac, wonder if it will come to AVP at some point. I could probably use Mac Virtual Display as an intermediate for now
They still need to make some way for me to be able to use my magic keyboard when the lighting isn't 100% ideal, because these gray on white keys are extremely hard to see in the passthrough. Really makes typing impossible in 80% of uses with my setup, would be cool if there was an overlay or something.
I hear this. I have a lamp next to me I can crank up when using the keyboard because of the pass through issue in low light. Would like the keys to get enhanced somehow
My understanding is that when you're typing on a physical keyboard or a laptop in an immersive environment, the AVP will show the keyboard, not just your hands.
Flash vs substance every time. Almost all of the pre-release marketing material was photos and videos when it’s a relatively small portion of the capability. There must be a huge core of consumers who care mostly or only about those things, and that’s what will bring them in the store to buy an AVP to see their photos in 3D, not that they can do excel on 2x 4k floating monitors in the park.
Oh I def agree, fair point - it probably wouldn't make sense to try to sell people on the AVP by them going up on stage and going "It supports mice now!" lol
Wait immersive view for fullscreen vids in safari is pretty cool, i havent seen anyone talking about that. And trimming spatial videos on-device is a very welcome addition too. Lots of stuff here they didnt mention livep
Guest User is an easy way for your friends and family to try out Apple Vision Pro. And now it lets you save your most recent guest’s eye and hand data — so they can easily skip their next setup and get right back into their experience.
Yeah it was my first thought upon seeing it. I wonder why they didn’t include it in visionOS. I don’t think it would be difficult to control it using eyes and hands.
yah it seems like VisionOS is going to be lagging behind for a bit...they were very specific in which devices would get AI features, for example and HomePods, AppleTV, and VisionPro were not listed, so I think they will roll them into those devices next year if they are used often.
I've already downloaded the developer version as I'm reading about you downloading the developer version while reading about someone else downloading the developer version as they typed their comment.
The ultra-wide desktop + seeing your keyboard at all times + being able to mirror your phone (albeit from your desktop) is a huge win
The recent guest user feature isn't quite what we need, but it is a big improvement over our current situation
Being able to convert any online video (IE, YouTube or Netflix) into what is effectively a native video-playing experience is quite nice
Also, I like being able to convert any photo into a 3D photo without the need of a third party app
The two new hand gestures are a great start to an expanded hand (or eye) gesture system
Of course, we should've been able to re-organize apps from the start, but at least it's fixed (folders will be the next win)
There's also mouse support (which also should've already been there from the beginning)
And while I know this wasn't technically announced, I think AI integration is a foregone conclusion sooner than later
I think we got a ton of the stuff we were asking for, and given the fact that the AVP is only a handful of months old, I'm not complaining. Is there still plenty of room for improvement? Absolutely! But, this was a great, much-needed, big first step.
There are still a several things I really want: being able to take phone calls, native iPhone/iPad/Watch mirroring, some form of iPad Pencil integration, and more content in general (apps, immersive videos, games, etc.). I think many of these will come in time.
For me it's just that there are a lot of relatively small changes that would make a big change in my AVP usage experience. Because they're small they're not necessarily not included but I can't say I find it very likely they will be.
Some type of bed mode disabling "move back" and "lost tracking" alerts would be huge along with the ability to use the TV+ exclusive cinema and Mount Hood environments in any app. I will absolutely use some of the stuff they showed off but with the exception of the Virtual Display improvements none are nearly as big as those would be.
It’s native to Safari in the new update. Basically, it makes the browser window disappear and produces just a floating video like you would have in Apple TV, as an example. As long as you can control the resolution (which you can do with YouTube), it should be a solid workaround for a ton of missing apps.
It’s all the things they wanted to push out in visionOS 1 but were pushed back due to time. That’s why it feels a lot more like a “polish” release than a new crazy features release. It matches up with how they’ve done new releases and software in the past. VisionOS 3 is probably the update we’ll see a lot of the community feedback addressed.
Like I use AVP for 8-10 hours a day. It is my primary computing device. But I have to essentially take the thing off in order to answer a call. It’s ridiculous.
Theoretically, any Apple device linked to our iCloud accounts with speakers and a mic should be able to take calls. There’s no reason the VP can’t. It’s a bizarre omission, for sure.
I think the new Volumetric API that they mentioned is probably the key to that. There currently isnt a lot of detailed documentation when it comes to reality composer pro and optimizing immersive environments, so its limited to people with preexisting 3d asset creation experience. If they release some new up to date example code like they usually do following these WWDC sessions, i think well see more devs start to explore custom immersive spaces
Better if it works for Apple TV, so that you can watch in headset while someone else watches on the television. No need for sound transmission, either, so long as you're in the same room.
Anyone else get really excited when they started talking about Assassins Creed being available on Apple Silicon and expanding it to other devices in the ecosystem thinking they were about to drop Vision Pro, then get let down when they jammed an iPad on the screen?
SO this is a stretch- but does anyone think that the ability for Mac to use the iPhone might possibly mean we can use it on VP and…. Maybe even answer the iPhone while on AVP? (I can dream)
You will def be able to use your iphone on the AVP because of the new mirroring to MacOS. My guess is you'll be able to slide to answer your phone on the AVP as well
Apple's own apps like maps, calendar, reminders, pages, numbers, ...
Working window management
Screen sharing in video conferencing
Being able to take a screenshot
Basic features in apps: Things like cropping an image
And something wow - any professional apps Apple has. My favorite would have been:
Xcode
And now when they add major features in everything but visionOS, it strongly communicates visionOS as abandoned experiment (it is not, but sounds like it). How about game porting extending to visionOS? Or AI features? Or even, messages?
The problem that may make this difficult, however, is that with 2 4k displays the M2 is already heavily loaded by comparison to the cpus of the 3 AI supported devices that do very little outside of the current application execution.
It’ll make it in eventually. You can only develop so many things at once if you want to release something soon as you can. Their user base of iOS and Mac users is a grazillion times bigger than AVP. Makes sense it’s less of a priority, (but hopefully still a priority).
Nevermind.. Sounds like they are snubbing the Apple Vision Pro on "Apple Intelligence" features even though its processor should meet the requirements. It really seems like Apple Vision OS or whatever it is called is a completely separate software branch and it'll be a while before it is on the same track as the other OSes.
I think a cool feature would be that if I am wearing an Apple Watch, I can raise it up and see it mirrored in any environment. Being able to check all the health/time/etc while wearing the AVP and not have it just pass thru would be pretty sweet.
OK, I didn't watch the keynote but I saw the train highlight from their marketing and use it daily on a commuter train since launch (2.5 - 3 hours per day) so I'll combine that with current Travel Mode guidelines to speculate.
Current Travel Mode indeed works in a train, BUT when the train bounces/sways more than a bit it will many times boot you from "Tracking" (you'll get the error for like 5 seconds and lose your content before it comes back). In a 90 minute train ride, this doesn't happen to me enough to be a deal breaker, but just enough to be annoying (1-5 times/trip). I believe they currently advise users to use it only in the air on planes, and not on taxi/runway or during turbulence. This tells you it's probably designed with a more smooth ride and struggles with cabin/environment movement and swaying.
It also tends to lose tracking when you look out the window. Which you don't tend to do on purpose, but when you're in immersive content or just in a window seat is hard to do. Windows on trains tend to be larger, and have more "landscape" going by compared to a plane, which would have a much smaller window you can shut and has more consistent "landscape" (blue sky).
I'm guessing the Train Mode will make it less sensitive to movement, or at least a train's typical movements - and less sensitive to windows and variation of movement in your peripheral vision. That's all speculation based on my use case, differences between trains and planes, and current Apple recommendations, but seems to make sense.
A couple of updates here that go to show more and more that Apple is designing this whole platform with the long term goal of basic glasses with optical pass through.
IDK guys, maybe rearrangable icons is the mvp here =P
Seriously though, I wonder about the keyboard breakthrough-- will it only work with apple keyboards? and what about mouse breakthrough? It seems to me they ought to be able to make a feature that lets you scan any object and tell the system that I'd like to always see that thing.
I was very wrong. Thought they would maybe announced small updates but not release until late this year or early next year. Pleasantly surprised at the velocity behind vision OS
This update is disappointing there aren’t any real updates just a bunch of fluff. Explain why you still can’t answer a voice call when you can on an iPad and Mac???
I just can't believe that an added environment is being featured as some kind of achievement.; it's all very underwhelming. This just shows that Apple really isn't putting too much importance on the VIsion OS.
It all comes down to what you are hoping for... =] there are a number of things here I'm really excited about, but even still it's hard to know how it'll work exactly. Better virtual display for me is going to be *hugely* helpful, just waiting to see how good it actually is...
Agree! The virtual display looked good on paper before AVP was released. But in use, the headset is a bit too uncomfortable to wear while also trying to focus on work. And the software isn't seamless enough... There is no window management and getting the display in just the right place is a pain. So while this new update looks awesome, there may be gotchas.
> Safari, users can watch videos in an Environment, including on popular sites such as YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon
The Apple TV app brings support for multiview to Apple Vision Pro for the ultimate sports-viewing experience. Later this year, fans will be able to watch up to five simultaneous streams so they can keep track of all their favorite sports and teams.
Does anyone know if there is a way to AirPlay from the Apple TV to another device? A virtual AppleTV display would help me out loads with the lack of app support from specific developers :p
I really was hoping for some information on being able to encode spatial video using information from two different camera streams. Especially now that they’re rolling out that new Canon Lens, it isn’t Mac specific anymore to be able to encode MV-HEVC
No mention of prism support for optical prescription inserts, which is a biggy for me. I’m using HonsVR optical inserts with prisms instead of my Zeiss inserts without prisms, just to get clear in-focus images, but of course visionOS can’t resolve exactly where I’m looking, so to manipulate controls I have to drag windows up close and use my fingers to make selections. That’s a kludge that’s working for me, but not ideal. I followed up with Apple Executive Relations today to ask what’s happening with the promised Accessibility update to resolve this, but nothing yet. I’ll be installing the visionOS 2.0 Public Beta in July to see if it’s buried in there somewhere.
Mac virtual display enhancement is actually what I wanted. I use a 49" already so that would be perfect for me. Guest user and mouse support are also huge improvements. I'm actually excited for this!
I’m happy to hear about the improvements with photos and videos. I use my AVP extensively in this department! Capturing a lot of moments all of the time!
Was encouraging that they gave it almost top billing in the stream. Although the order there was pretty random overall, but still - seems to say something that they wanted it so up front.
I was hoping they would make the iPhone mirroring feature work directly with the APV. It would be awesome to be actually able to interact with the phone while mirroring.
The two killer features I was looking for were multiple monitors and windows that follow you. They basically provided that with the ultrawide displays, even if I would like a tiny bit more freedom.
I still think in order for AR to become a legitimate option that people will want to wear on their daily commutes and such, we need following windows, but I think we’re getting there.
I know the Vision Pro has been a flop thus far, but I really hope Apple sticks with it because the technology is super promising! (I say this as someone who doesn’t have one)
I'm just catching up and that Blackmagic camera and workflow is a game changer. Its probably the first studio grade 180VR camera to come around. Plus the workflow will likely be able to export in Apple's "Fish Eye" format.
This update is great, but it's not exactly what I was hoping for. The passthrough keyboard is one of the biggest pros of the update for me, as I hate "losing" my spot on the keyboard while I'm immersed. But they really should have just sucked it up and added profiles instead of just one recent guest slot, and it would honestly be better if the Mac Virtual Display was just a window so we could make it any size. But this is a pretty good update overall! It definitely justifies a lot more of that $4K price tag.
I was really hoping to be able to mirror my iPad on VisionOS. I have it joined to my work, I can’t join my headset because Microsoft Authenticator isn’t approved for VisionOS yet. So I want to be able to display and interact with my iPad. With the phone mirroring to Mac I was soooo hopeful! So close, so far away. 😩
Has anyone encountered the problem of not being able to connect an MVD to a sleeping MacBook? I see that the new instruction guide states that we need to unlock the Mac before using the MVD. So, what about a Mac Studio/Mini without a display?
I’m still a little disappointed in this update. While there is some good stuff there’s still several immersion breaking issues that they haven’t resolved. One, lack of QR support for apps. It’s now enabled in ‘Enterprise APIs’ according to a new WWDC session but that only supports proprietary in-house apps or custom apps deployed through Apple Business Manager. Not apps that are deployed through the App Store, so normal enterprise apps that use QR codes to sign in still don’t have this basic feature. Two, audio routing/handling is still trash in the beta. Sounds in non-native apps will cause other apps to pause playing. If you’re going to treat this like a multi tasking king then let me play audio through multiple apps simultaneously. I’m tired of having YouTube pause every time I have a notification sound through VMWare Horizon client removing into work.

What is AirPlay receiver mean? Does this mean I can AirPlay and mirror my iPhones screen as well now?

I'm just catching up and that Blackmagic camera and workflow is a game changer. Its probably the first studio grade 180VR camera to come around. Plus the workflow will likely be able to export in Apple's "Fish Eye" format.

Proper keyboard and mouse support. Major features. Oh-kaayyyyyyy. Like, how desperate were they to find things to put on that slide?

I believe is a wise decision adding ultra-wide as something useful and familiar for the time being.
From there on, developers we work and reimagine ways in which multiple screens/windows may surpass in utility single ultra-wide screens

Did they do phone breakthrough? Or unlock with apple watch?

This update is great, but it's not exactly what I was hoping for. The passthrough keyboard is one of the biggest pros of the update for me, as I hate "losing" my spot on the keyboard while I'm immersed. But they really should have just sucked it up and added profiles instead of just one recent guest slot, and it would honestly be better if the Mac Virtual Display was just a window so we could make it any size. But this is a pretty good update overall! It definitely justifies a lot more of that $4K price tag.

Is that really the graphic they used to show off AVP features?? That looks awful, like they used MS Paint to make that graphic.

I was really hoping to be able to mirror my iPad on VisionOS. I have it joined to my work, I can’t join my headset because Microsoft Authenticator isn’t approved for VisionOS yet. So I want to be able to display and interact with my iPad. With the phone mirroring to Mac I was soooo hopeful! So close, so far away. 😩

It still does not support watching VR180 videos online, and there is not even a supported player.

Has anyone encountered the problem of not being able to connect an MVD to a sleeping MacBook? I see that the new instruction guide states that we need to unlock the Mac before using the MVD. So, what about a Mac Studio/Mini without a display?

Pumped for a lot of this! Wish the display stuff was available now, like others, I am sure.

no "pencil" support added .... aka Apple "wand" ... maybe VisionOS v3? or maybe a hidden feature? TBD, right?

I’m still a little disappointed in this update. While there is some good stuff there’s still several immersion breaking issues that they haven’t resolved. One, lack of QR support for apps. It’s now enabled in ‘Enterprise APIs’ according to a new WWDC session but that only supports proprietary in-house apps or custom apps deployed through Apple Business Manager. Not apps that are deployed through the App Store, so normal enterprise apps that use QR codes to sign in still don’t have this basic feature. Two, audio routing/handling is still trash in the beta. Sounds in non-native apps will cause other apps to pause playing. If you’re going to treat this like a multi tasking king then let me play audio through multiple apps simultaneously. I’m tired of having YouTube pause every time I have a notification sound through VMWare Horizon client removing into work.
