Apple’s latest updates to visionOS 26 for its mixed reality headset continue to push the boundaries of blending digital content with the real world. At WWDC, Apple introduced a variety of new features for both consumers and enterprise users, from personalized spatial widgets to more realistic Personas and beyond.
Personalized spatial widgets
Apple’s widgets now offer personalized and useful information in a spatial format, seamlessly integrating into your surroundings. Users can customize the widgets to their preferences in terms of size, color, and depth, placing them wherever they like. New widgets include a customizable clock, weather updates tailored to your local conditions, quick access to music, and dynamic photo displays.
Adding depth to 2D images
The visionOS Photos app now utilizes an advanced AI algorithm to add depth to 2D images, providing multiple perspectives and a more immersive viewing experience. Additionally, spatial browsing on Safari enhances web navigation by hiding distractions and showcasing interactive inline photos.
Talking heads
Apple’s updated Personas feature now offers more lifelike avatars for video calls, incorporating volumetric rendering and machine learning technology to enhance visual details such as hair, eyelashes, and complexion. These AI avatars are created on-device within seconds, providing a realistic representation for users.
The latest visionOS 26 also enables shared viewing experiences for users wearing the headset, whether for entertainment or collaboration purposes. Enterprise clients can leverage this feature for enhanced teamwork, with companies like Dassault Systèmes utilizing it for visualizing 3D designs both in person and remotely. Additionally, new enterprise APIs and tools facilitate device sharing and data security within organizations, while supporting the development of custom apps for visionOS.
Apple continues to expand the capabilities of the Apple Vision Pro with visionOS 26, introducing more languages, eye-tracking features, and seamless integration with iPhone functionality. From enhanced spatial widgets to lifelike avatars and collaborative viewing experiences, the latest updates are set to redefine the possibilities of mixed reality technology.
