About visionOS, the operating system for Apple Vision Pro.
VisionOS, which blends reality and virtual space and makes app windows and icons appear to float, is also the basis for Apple's new unified design, Liquid Glass .
Such visionOS 26 supports Apple Intelligence.
And then there are widgets. Just like hanging a clock or a photo on the wall of your room as viewed through Apple Vision Pro, you can display widgets from visionOS-compatible apps.
The 'Calendar' widget looks like this. You can set the frame width, color, and depth.
When the Clock widget is hung on the wall, it looks like a real wall clock.
The dial has a simple design, but upon closer inspection you will see that even the smallest details are reproduced.
Set up the Music widget for quick access to your favorite songs.
With 'Photos,' you can set panoramic photos to look like the scenery seen from a window in a room.
WidgetKit, which allows developers to develop widgets for visionOS, will be released to developers.
In addition, you can now create multiple perspectives from 2D photos to create 'spatial scenes' that have a sense of depth and realism.
With 'Spatial Browsing,' compatible articles are transformed to hide distracting elements and reveal photos as you scroll, optimizing the display for spatial computing.
'Persona' is a user avatar for visionOS that is used for video calls, etc.
Eyelashes, hair, and even complexion will be depicted more accurately, resulting in a more faithful reproduction of the person's face.
It's also possible to share the screen you see on your Apple Vision Pro with people in the same room.
This viewpoint sharing feature can also be applied in business and educational settings.
In addition, Apple Vision OS can be registered as an organizational device and shared among team members. Accessibility settings such as eye and hand data and glasses prescriptions can be securely stored on the iPhone, making it easy to use Apple Vision Pro as a shared device.
An API will also be made available to developers.
For example, the Protected Content API enables a 'confidential mode' that allows only authorized individuals to view sensitive materials such as medical records or business forecasts.
And visionOS 26 will support third-party accessories.
For example, Logitech Muse enables precise drawing and collaboration in 3D space.
It also supports the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller, the official controller for the PlayStation VR2 VR headset, enabling tracking and operation in visionOS games.
Other immersive videos compatible with visionOS are also planned to be released.
It will also be possible to edit and preview spatial video directly in the Adobe Premiere app for Apple Vision Pro.
In addition, when watching footage shot with a 180-degree camera, 360-degree camera, or wide-angle lens on an action camera on Apple Vision Pro, it is played flat on a 2D display, so Apple has worked with GoPro, Insta360, and Canon to enable native playback on visionOS.
Web development allows you to embed 3D objects directly into a page, allowing you to see them in the space in front of you.
The newly added home environment, 'Jupiter,' allows you to view the swirling world of Jupiter from atop its moon, Amalthea.
This is visionOS 26.
