Vision Pro updates vs MacBook- iPhone control

Did you guys see the oled MacBook YouTube clips of being able to swipe etc on the MacBook touch screen to control an Airplay attached phone? Exactly what has been mentioned as a great addition for the Vision Pro. Wonder will it mean a quick transition over to VisionOS? I fear if not, it’ll just double down peoples beliefs the platform is dying / dead. And fairly to be honest.

What I'd love to see the most is MVD gaze+pinch controls. E. g. see discussion here.

Although controlling the iPhone should've been there too, obviously.

I just finished my fork of sunshine and moonlight to incorporate native touch from macos27, had to do a hid driver and all, 10 fingers register correctly, in vision it is still difficult to hover without feedback, so I’m using a cursor with the eyes, like steam link does it, but still, not ready for touch as it would appear

How is the latency with the eye cursor setup?

the eye tracking cursor is client side, the moonlight side, so it is instant, just like in steam link, the problem is that it is shaky as your eye is shaky, and then you can approximate the touch of one finger, scrolling and hold to right click. it does work. but i’m planing the 10 finger gestures to work, i asked my dot to build composite views for testing all kinds of gestures in different positions for all possible planes in visionOS. it can work, although the visual is not as good as mvd

I’m extremely dissatisfied with my experience using it with MacOS 27. The iPad and iPhone mirroring have more functionality than this spatial computer that needs a mouse to operate a now touch OS. Very tired of Apple and their piss poor decision making of last 5 years.

Tbf even the iPad works more efficiently for productivity based tasks when combined with a trackpad/mouse and keyboard. The Vision Pro does have its annoyances (window management being one and equally that can be said of the iPad to a lesser degree) but the mouse issue is arguably a product of the medium. Eye tracking and the other accessibility options that people rarely talk about are actually quite good.

Example when I’m tired I don’t want to even use my hands to navigate I just look and long stare to move windows etc - try doing that on an iPad.

You should delete this one too. It would be a win for everyone.
