visionOS 2 released for Apple Vision Pro with new gestures, customizable Home View, and more
Apple released visionOS 2, the first major software update to the Apple Vision Pro headset since its debut.
visionOS 2 includes a new feature that extracts the depth information from regular 2D photos to turn them into 3D photos using machine learning. This means that users will be able to see their full library of regular images in 3D, adding depth to photos when viewing them on Apple Vision Pro.
The update adds new hand gestures for activating the Home View and Control Center, and the update saves Guest User profiles for 30 days, meaning that users who share the Apple Vision Pro with someone else for a short period of time won’t need to complete the setup process every time they use the device.
In a future visionOS 2 update later in the year, Apple will improve Mac Virtual Display by supporting higher resolution and larger sized virtual displays, which Apple says will be equivalent to two 4K monitors side by side.
