visionOS 2 is Out! - What's New?

[@Taigan_HSE]

One thing they changed in 2.0 that nobody seems to have noticed: the headset works in the dark now. You can enjoy late night movies in bed without having to keep a light on.

[@Alejandrolanza]

The 3D conversion is amazing. I could spend a full day looking at old pics

[@acslater017]

Yes it makes small interpretation mistakes here and there but I’m super impressed by it! The clarity and depth is much greater than spatial videos. It’s awesome that you can convert pictures from any source. I just wish you could batch convert instead of doing them one by one. If you have AVP, do you also experience a weird behavior where the photos are not consistently the same size? With my photos, some expand to nearly my whole field of view, while others stay relatively small.

[@Alejandrolanza]

@@acslater017agreed. But on that issue you mention, I haven’t seen that inconsistency. You do have a hybrid and an immersive mode, but I imagine that’s not what you’re talking about.

[@acslater017]

@@Alejandrolanza Oh OK, thanks. Right, *in Immersive view*, some of my photos expand to my whole field of view but others more or less stay the same size, just with fuzzy borders. Hopefully it gets ironed out

[@notaspectator]

Those things are amazing, i did enjoy trialing out visionOS in spring. To your note. Spend a full day looking at old photos.... as oppose to living in the very present? Beware of yet another tech addiction :)

@@NathanNoom easy there big fella. it wasn't a personal attack on your consumer choices 😙 The Vision Pro is objectively speaking not a popular apple product, hence why no one does content on them, therefore this video being something that an owner would be grateful for and the comically absurd ownership value of seven that I ascribed was using that to accentuate the rhetorical value. /explaineditforyou 🥸

[@lennypearce3247]

It does. So do the trees and clouds. Classic haters trying to find someway to insert a dig at the price. Watch Meta Quest videos if this is out of your price range.

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

I'm a Meta Quest 3 owner, but i do love seeing the continued progress on these kinds of devices. Hopefully, apple can effectively lower the price in a generation or 2 or maybe offer a more "normal glasses" form factor someday. Spacial computers/ Augmented Reality devices are the future imo. Keep up the good work!

[@anthonyvincent42]

You missed something. When you’re watching a movie or a TV show. It has backlighting now. You know how some TVs have that lighting that allows it to reflect against the wall. It does that now. It did it on the Disney one and on Paramount. It takes on whatever color of the show that you’re watching.

[@markoconnell4518]

Loving my Vision Pro!

[@arthuraccioly]

They have to allow us to have multiple screens from our Macbook, otherwise it's useless for work. At least they took a step ahead and finally recognized the keyboard and mouse; this was an essential feature that was missing.

[@pavelstebl9966]

When years from now people look back on APV with frozen skies, grainy passthrough and weird persona avatars, they’ll smile that this is how we once imagined “the future”. I guess their headsets will feel as if we are whisked to another world.

[@msbgone]

Just did a demo in the store today, mind blown, was not expecting it to look and be so amazing, but 5K all in with 1TB and Applecare is just too much! Maybe some day though! Thanks for the recap...

[@magic_fruit_bat5003]

More AVP stuff, woot-woot‼️

[@oliverniehaus7159]

Great video! Would highly recommend turning on and trying out increase focus state and increase contrast which are both in accessibility. They make the windows darker and also makes it more clear what you’re looking at to avoid misclicks

[@AZREDFERN]

Does the AVP ever get hand panic like the Quest? If the quest can’t see your hands, it starts to think EVERYTHING is your hand. Freaking out and randomly grabbing stuff. Even after adding depth sensors and dot projections on the Q3.

[@zollotech]

No, it does mistakes sometime when I just move my hand to get a drink or whatever. It thinks sometimes I’ve grabbed a window and it throws it off

[@AbolishTheInternet]

I'll never buy a Vision Pro, but I like seeing how the OS progresses in case they ever make a realistically-priced and featured headset. Apple has fantastic designers, and what they do with Vision OS will influence the entire field as a whole, so it's worth tracking.

[@artemiosandoval2032]

The new hand gestures are a nice quality of life improvement, they must use LIDAR for that because the headset can still detect the gesture in low light.

[@Scottdlt]

I love the spatial pictures feature. I hope one day it comes to videos in the photo app too.

[@Marshallsimo]

Im enjoying this video even though I know I could never justify purchasing this item due to the massive price tag. Damn I would seriously love one though.

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

Don't worry about it for now. Eventually these systems will be further refined in hardware and software, not to mention the price should come down as other tech companies begin to mimic the concept. You'll have bypassed all the early adopters' struggles and be better off for it

Apple might be onto something with this vision OS of theirs. Also the way it transitions the background image from light to dark mode is pretty epic.

[@acslater017]

I love the 3D conversion of photos on my AVP! The overall effect is very convincing, even if there are small flaws. Are all of your photos expanding to immersive view? Some of mine do, but others don’t expand to the right field of view.

[@SmartLightDimwit]

I returned my Vision Pro after 14 days back when it came out and I’ve missed it ever since. Tell me honestly though, how often are you using it? The main reason I returned was lack of content, and I don’t have a computer recently enough to do the screen mirroring.

[@lotusflowerrr]

If only iOS had the same glass aesthetics. I think it would be the next biggest iOS overhaul since iOS 7.

[@jbbevan]

For me the biggest deficit on the AVP is the lack of Home Sharing. I enjoy movies...especially the drive-in on the dark moon....and since I have had AppleTV since 2007 I have a large collection of movies that aren't from iTunes Store...many home movies, etc. Initially with AppleTV there were no movies purchasable from iTunes Store so if you wanted to use the thing you had to roll your own. Sooo...when they said 2.0 would have Airplay 2 at the very least I expected to be able to wirelessly "broadcast" a movie from my Mac to the AVP. I'm not talking about screen mirroring (which leaves the sound on the Mac) but true complete playback of a movie on the Mac moved to the AVP picture and sound. If this is possible, would you please tell us how to do it. I have turned on Airplay in Settings/General/AirPlay Receiver but still can't see how to do what I want to do.

[@Naguura_Ravenclaw]

"I actually prefer the beach" of course you do, who wouldn't :) great video as always :)

[@notaspectator]

why do you assume that the beach is all that? sure I like it, others do too. I like mossy forest a lot more. Whats this general think for so many people about beaches?

[@benpofo]

For the Spatial photos and video, i think they will eventually apply Ai to bring those 3d photos to life/animate them which will essentially allow you to walk into your images or revisit the exact same place in vr.

[@riggerz29]

You can also now add tracks to playlists in apple music you couldn't on vision os 1

Does the Keyboard Breakthrough recognized other kinds of 3rd-party keyboard too (like for example any USB-C mechanical keyboards) or only Apple-branded keyboard only?

[@GabeDaEngineer]

ive actually found that virtual display has much more latency now compared to vOS 1

[@zollotech]

interesting. I find it greatly reduced now on multiple macs I have tested on. Make sure the Mac is updated as well though. It did make a difference.

[@notaspectator]

The first week of OS life is re-indexing stuff, on iPhone and mac hardware. There are optimizations that go on for even longer behind the scenes. I've noticed over the years which processes do what. Also I have a zero tab policy so every 3 days I clear all tabs. So that there is less wired memory and some apps are poorly made to hit CPU hard. Also I will be using ableton next year with AVP and that monster eats up 4 of my cores at full so I am not sure how it'll affect latency

[@davidvandruff9368]

[@Aggie4life77]

I kinda feel like the tech KZbinrs are trying their best to call this a failed product. I see it as more of an expensive beta product. I still have high hopes for it. Don’t get me wrong, if they come out with the true consumer version and there is no software for it and no one buys it, then it’s a flop! This thing hasn’t even been out a year yet. People think it has because it was announced in the Summer of last year. It didn’t release until early this year. Around the world, it’s only been out for a few months!

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

You're exactly right. It is a beta product, priced extremely high to ensure developers and large companies buy them. The average wealthy person was allowed purchase to fortify sales and give "average consumer feedback". The funny thing is that Meta laid out a lofty goal of filled with XR devices and the promise of the "metaverse", and they have not stopped yet. So if apple were to give up on Apple Vision they would essentially be giving control of this market entirely to Meta, which they will not do, if Apple really cares about their reputation. These XR systems are the future.

[@elvisvasco6245]
