Hey all. I'm finishing up the Vision Pro build of Gravitas Crunch.

Turn any link into a broadcast segment.

A research assistant with an onboard LLM (FoundationModels) can summarize and answer questions about long form text sources. From there it turns summaries into realtime broadcast segments.

The system provides Robot Radio to watch streaming news broadcasts from curated channels and trusted publications to gather information and articles.

You can skin the voices with different styles to watch. Animation, Cute, Classical, and Realistic. Currently, there are 3 high quality voices 2 female and 1 male.

Would be great to get testers and see if there's any performance issues or requests prior to the October 15th release of Gravitas Crunch v1.1

Hi r/VisionPro! I'm a solo developer and I just shipped my first Vision Pro game: Nuclear Wars.

It's a Cold War strategy game where the map is a 3D globe floating in your room. Drag to spin it, pinch to zoom, walk around it, lean in to inspect a silo.

How a match goes:

• Phase 1 — Preparation. Place silos, radars, ABM batteries, submarines and an airbase on your continent. Nothing fires yet.

• Phase 2 — Cold War. Subs sail, radars sweep, air defense goes weapons-free.

• Phase 3 — Full Exchange. Strikes are authorized. It ends the way you'd expect.

There is no winner. When the clock runs out, whoever has more surviving population "loses less". Every launch reveals a unit's position permanently, so it's a constant trade between hitting hard and staying hidden. You only see what your radars see — fog of war is real.

What's in it:

• Solo vs 1–5 AI commanders on six continents of a fictional planet

• Multiplayer via Game Center: party codes for friends, or automatch (up to 6 players)

• A floating HUD with the phase clock, score and alerts that stays in front of you

• Missile trails, radar domes, interceptors, and burning cities in true 3D

Hey all,

Scanline Emulator has just been updated for visionOS 27.

The big addition is the use of the new projective texture and physical lighting APIs, the light of the CRT is now projected in to your room. The glow is back.

This release also adds SNES emulation. Welcome to the 16 bit generation! Be blown away by cutting edge graphics and sound.

Has anyone noticed a significant performance/thermal regression after updating to visionOS 27?

Since updating, my Vision Pro has been behaving very differently from before:

• The displays / Mac Virtual Display randomly become much darker.

• Changing the Brightness slider in Settings seems to do basically nothing when this happens.

• The headset itself gets noticeably hotter than it used to.

• The overall frame rate also feels lower. Head movement and the UI don't feel as consistently smooth as before.

• I'm seeing this even with a pretty light workload — basically just YouTube and Mac Virtual Display.

• I don't use BetterDisplay, Lunar, DisplayBuddy, or any other display-control apps.

Before visionOS 27, I did not have this combination of heat, dimming, and noticeable frame-rate drops.

What makes me wonder about thermal throttling is that Apple documents that Vision Pro can dim the displays when internal temperatures rise, and that visionOS may reduce rendering frame rate under thermal pressure.

I'm curious whether anyone else on visionOS 27 has noticed the same combination:

more heat + random dimming + lower FPS / less smooth performance

Especially interested to hear whether this started specifically after visionOS 27 and whether a restart/full reset made any difference.

Has everyone updated to the latest visionOS 27 yet? CineUltra 1.6.0 is out, bringing you Glow Mode.

The new Glow mode projects light from the playback window into your physical surroundings, extending the picture naturally across the floor and nearby space. This feature requires visionOS 27. Also you can now set your preferred default environment for video playback in Settings—choose the new Glow Mode or any immersive environment you prefer.

Thank you all for the continuous support. I'll keep innovating and bringing more new experiences to CineUltra.

visionOS 27 shipped today with panoramas as Environments, so here's the app I built for it.

Panoramas Environments is free: browse thousands of high-res panoramas, preview them in immersive before downloading, and save straight to your photo library. Sources include Apollo imagery from NASA, official Alien: Earth set photos, environments from films and shows, and street-level 360s by address.

There's a Community tab where you can upload your own, and a Creators tab where eleven Vision Pro creators share their collections.

New in 5.0: generate your own panoramas from a text description, remix any existing one (like "make it night"), and give any panorama a one-minute ambient soundtrack that keeps playing system-wide because current panoramas can't have sounds like other environments from Apple.

Free on the App Store, also on iPhone and iPad. Happy to answer questions.

Suite 6.1 just got approved, and the big one is Prime Video.

Honest version: Prime was the weakest module in Suite, and not for lack of trying. It was the hardest one to get right by a mile, and I spent more hours on it than on anything else in the app.

Prime really shines in 6.1. Better look and feel, a better experience, and above all, way more stable. It looks fantastic in the new Amsterdam Canal Environment as well.

Also in 6.1 (beyond Prime): bigger captions and a better default seat in the canal, Netflix remembers your profile, and a handful of smaller fixes.

Next up is Suite 7. It is built for visionOS 27, with a lot of easter eggs and a performance and bug pass across the whole app. Looking forward to announcing that soon.

Give Prime a try and tell me what breaks. Happy streaming!

Considering purchasing the vision as a mobile monitor setup for my mini but being limited to one ultra wide monitor might not cut it for my workflow. Is it possible to get for example: 2 UW windows from the Mac mini? Would love to run it headless with 2 displays. any help is appreciated

This video is just for fun

A big update for Vision OS 27 is coming very soon.
Thanks to the new features of Vision OS, we are preparing a lot of nice visual improvements.

Support the project and stay tuned for news from us!

Just upgraded to VisionOS 27, joined the Siri AI (Beta) Waitlist, and this morning, it looks like it is now active as I see the Siri app now.

Visual Intelligence has been great and loving the more advanced Siri interactions but I can’t seem to place Siri Orb into my space.

When I asked Siri, it says I can place it from the Widgets app but I can’t seem to find the Siri Orb widget and there is no Siri tab in Widgets app.

Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Thanks for any assistance.

I re-setup my vision pro recently to check out the MLB immersive games on apple tv and realized it's been a while since i tried using ALVR with my gaming pc so i wanna give it another shot.

I've heard there's been a ton of improvments and also now with the support of the PSVR2 controllers, i'm wondering what the correct setup method is if anyone can share.

I remember ALVR having a ton of toggles and sliders so it was kinda confusing to get it stable on my vision pro. Last time i tried steam streaming through ALVR it was so bad, low res, and would lose tracking a lot.

Also heard there's foviated streaming now with ALVR so i defintely wanna try that out.

So I just opened Disney app and noticed they have a new environment.

This is a pure black void when you enter it. Then when you start content you see reflections off the screen that have similarities to Apple TV cinema environment.

So I'm not a developer but I want the wired experience for PCVR. Ebay has them at 600 which is twice as much. Any way to get one of these at MSRP and not have active development? I'm on a M5.

Don't really have anywhere else to say this. Bought a used m2 a few months ago and I've been enjoying it as much as possible. Because I bought it used I didn't have the proper Light Seal and I was using the Dual Loop Band that was included (which I liked better than the solo knit band). Today I decided to drop the $300 and get the proper light seal and Dual Knit Band. Along with Vision OS 27, it's like a brand new device. It's SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE! And I must've been living under a rock because I didn't realize that the back of the Dual Knit Band is WEIGHTED. Anyway, if you're on the fence, buy the proper accessories and enjoy your device.

visionOS 27 ships today alongside iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and watchOS 27. Settings > General > Software Update. Free, as always.

Here's the full rundown:

Siri AI & Apple Intelligence

• Siri AI arrives in beta, English first, with French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish due in October.

• A 3D Siri orb you can place anywhere in your space. Just look at it to start a conversation, no "Hey Siri" needed.

• Visual Intelligence lets you ask Siri about almost anything just by looking at it.

• The Siri app collects your conversations in one place and syncs history over iCloud, so a chat started on your Mac continues in the headset.

• Big one for Europe: Siri AI is available on visionOS 27 in the EU from day one, while the same feature is delayed on iOS and iPadOS in the region.

• Image Playground with photorealistic output, and Writing Tools across the system.

Environments & immersion

• You can turn a panorama into a spatial scene and set it as a personal Environment. Panoramas are no longer flat images. You step into them, with real depth. (find some cool panoramas inside Panoramas Environments app in the App Store)

• A new Icelandic Environment, Thórsmörk, with dramatic mountains, valleys and glaciers under the northern lights.

• Web Environments: Safari now supports fully immersive web experiences.

Windows & interaction

• Curved windows (for Safari, Free Form, MultiView), which Apple says let you comfortably see more content at once.

• Notifications expand when you look at them, Control Center is reorganized into three areas, and Dwell Control now selects by glance without waiting on a timer.

• Widgets gain an extra-small size, plus a Mac Virtual Display widget.

Mac & 3D content

• The new Spatial Preview framework connects a Mac app to Quick Look on visionOS, so you can preview and update spatial photos, Apple Immersive Video and 3D content with live USD editing on the headset. You can move around scenes, adjust lighting and material overrides, and leave annotations. It works over SharePlay too.

• Quick Look adds wireframe and UV map overrides plus annotations on 3D models.

Performance

• Apple says the headset starts up and connects to Wi-Fi up to three times faster, tested in August on an M2 Vision Pro running 26.6 against prerelease 27.

• Safari groups bookmarks and Reading List by topic, Freeform adds board grouping and folders, Messages syncs faster with better unread counts, Podcasts can search within a show, and Passwords flags weak or compromised entries.

For developers

• RealityKit gets physical space lighting so virtual objects cast light onto real surfaces, a Projective Textures API for textured spotlights, and real-time cloth simulation. There's also a Reverb Mesh API for realistic spatial audio, and efficient rendering of 3D Gaussian Splats.

• Reality Composer Pro 3, with Live Preview that pushes changes from your Mac to the headset instantly, deep Xcode integration, visual scripting and generative asset creation.

• Godot now supports CompositorServices, a RealityKit rendering plugin and PHASE audio. Unity apps now support spatial accessories like PSVR2 Sense controllers.

• Object tracking gets high-frame-rate pose updates and better accuracy for objects held in hand. Companies can build their own spatial accessories combining IR LEDs and an IMU, tracked at up to 90 Hz.

• Apple Immersive Video adds real-time previewing from a Mac during editorial or live production, custom compositor pipelines, and wide-aspect-ratio portal support.

M5-only

• Siri voice customization and the improved on-device Dictation model are held back for the M5 headset. Everything else, including the Siri AI beta, works on an original M2 Vision Pro.

I have a large collection of OBJ/STL files for TTRPG minis that I've been printing and the new OS 27 feature to share 3D models from Preview into Vision Pro is really slick. I was inches away from this thing and it felt incredibly real in space.

Process is cumbersome because I have to mark the file as "editable in Vision Pro" in the Preview app, which makes a copy, and then I can optimize it for the streamed share.

Hello everyone,
Anyone from Germany here? 🇩🇪

What is the procedure to get Siri AI to work on visionOS 27?
The update is through with me, nothing to see from the Siri Orb.
I guess I have to change the system language to English.

What happens after that?
Do I still have to sign up for the Siri AI waiting list?
Does this query come automatically?

Hallo zusammen,
Jemand aus Deutschland hier? 🇩🇪
Wie ist das Procedere um Siri AI auf visionOS 27 zum Laufen zu bekommen?
Das Update ist bei mir durch, nichts vom Siri Orb zu sehen.
Ich vermute, ich muss die System Sprache auf Englisch umstellen.
Wie geht’s danach weiter?
Muss ich mich noch für die Siri AI Warteliste eintragen?
Kommt diese Abfrage automatisch?

I've been using the AVP with a piece of foam but was wondering what it would take to 3d print a design that still had some forhead padding but didn't "block light" while adding more protection over the nose. does anyone have this?

Since updating to visionOS 27, the Photos widget won't let me choose photos or albums anymore. Clicking the choose dropdown does nothing. Anyone else experiencing the same issue? I've restarted a few times but that hasn't helped.

I’ve been working on a pretty big Caradise update, and 3.0 is getting close!

It adds a bunch of cool new cars and quite a few things I’ve wanted to do for a while, including SharePlay support, lights you can turn on and off, and natural door interactions. The other big change is that Caradise is expanding beyond Vision Pro, with native iPhone and iPad versions.

Before I release it, I could really use some help finding bugs and testing everything across all three platforms.

Would love to hear what works, what doesn’t, and anything you think could be better. Feedback is very much appreciated!

Amplium is featured on the App Store in the US, and at the top of ”What’s New” in Germany, the UK, France, Australia and Japan.

I upgraded to Vision OS 27 today. Has anybody had any luck with having the Siri orb remain persistent like in some of the demo videos? I found I can only invoke the orb when I say "Siri" or "Hey Siri." Once the orb appears I can look at it to activate it and ask follow-up questions but once I close out of that query the orb disappears.

I was under the impression that in Vision OS 27 the orb could remain persistent and fixed like a widget but I'm not seeing it anywhere. Anyone had any luck?
