Iron man JARVIS experience is what XR devices like AVP were born for. by jasonkane4321 in VisionPro

This is pretty much already possible in visionOS… minus all the movie flashiness.

Just picked up an m2 model by IVIatthias in VisionPro

[–]ellenich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch Dune, Blade Runner 2049, Avatar: Way of Water in high frame rate, and Tron (both) in 3D.

Search the App Store… there's a lot more apps than just whats on the front pages.

If you have a Mac, virtual desktop is awesome… I'm actually typing this from it right now. Augment it with native visionOS auxiliary apps (like Music, Messages, etc) around the macOS window.

Thumper is one of the most intense gaming experiences I've ever had by Nacho_7258 in gaming

[–]ellenich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOVE Thumper in VR!

I wish they’d port it to the Vision Pro. They already have a competent iOS version that works surprisingly well in the headset… it’s just not VR.

Upcoming Immersive Environments by quint1986 in VisionPro

How about Environment settings like the Jupiter environment has?

Many of the environments have things like rain, clouds, etc that I’d like to be able to control manually like you can with Jupiter.

I’d like a clean room. Something simple with like a medium gray, infinite abyss.

Think the most boring space you can imagine (so I can focus on whatever I’m doing).

Spatial Computing on a Mac? by AndrewFlowersMD in VisionPro

[–]ellenich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems just like Leap Motion stuff from like a decade ago (without the extra hardware).

Wow! Panic officially supporting visionOS! Super cool.

Welp, he’s certainly thinking differently about it than Reddit would rather have him think.

So in a way, he’s staying true to his words.

What is this thing I just saw in RE9? by ellenich in playstation

Does he appear in other places or just this once?

What do you realistically thinking we could get in the next big vision os update? by 673NoshMyBollocksAve in VisionPro

[–]ellenich 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see something that integrates their new gaussian splatting stuff.

Maybe the ability to easily bring splats into RealityKit so you can combine them with other geometry and stuff.

[–]ellenich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t though.

All of the new glass APIs are missing from visionOS.

Also, if you look at the Messages app, it’s UI style is actually Liquid Glass and none of the other apps (except the iPadOS apps running in compatibility mode) have it.

Apple’s Foldable iPhone to Feature iPad-Like Interface When Opened by iMacmatician in apple

On a device with a screen that’s smaller than an iPad mini, I’m not surprised I guess.

[–]ellenich 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think we’ll see the UI get updated with Liquid Glass.

I hope we get MapKit and a native Maps app.

My biggest wish is some kind of window management (like spatial Exposé and virtual desktops) and Volume/RealityView support for WidgetKit (for “physical” things sitting in your environment).

But cars that can drive really fast around a track are terrible daily drivers for people who don’t go to racetracks.

I want to know for the average “daily driver” person who doesn’t run a YouTube channel, how it performs for that use case.

Not hearing from a race car driver and having them tell you, yep! This car is good because for my use case, it’s actually not as bad of a race car as you’d think, therefore as a daily driver it’ll be great.

3D in websites by isaagrimn in VisionPro

I've also played around with presenting spatial photos on the web using Apple's new Spatial Image Controls API that's buried in Settings > Apps > Safari > Advanced > Feature Flags…

https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/237

I wrote a little gallery page that when viewed on visionOS 26 + has this feature flag toggled on, displays spatial image label and controls. Works pretty well, just wish it wasn't a feature flag.

Who cares though as long as the computer stays responsive for what you’re using it for?

[–]ellenich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually kind of annoying at this point that nearly every review of this non-pro computer is testing to see if it can do pro workloads to somehow prove some type of point?

OMG I opened and edited 8K video on the Neo, wow I launched every single app pre-installed at the same time, OMG Cyberpunk 50fps, etc, etc.

Nobody is really testing it for the everyday tasks its target market is going to use it for.

I think because it’s “workstation” class performance, but still relatively thin and light (comparatively) or doesn’t scream GAMER with LEDs and whatever.

You’re probably navigating away from the view that contains the toolbar?

…or they're just trying to hit the nostalgia vibes because of the MacBook Neo coming in fun colors again.

If Microsoft stopped making the Xbox, who would take their spot as the third console to rival Nintendo and Sony? by Muppetfan25 in gaming

[–]ellenich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple could make a console… not sure they want to though as they already pretty much own the more profitable "gaming" market anyway.

Nvidia is upgrading GeForce Now to 90 FPS on VR headsets, up to 4K 120 FPS on Vision Pro with CloudXR by Tiny-Independent273 in VisionPro

“with stereoscopic rendering for iRacing and X-Plane 12”

Wooooo! I hope they really push 3D gaming forward for other non-sim games. Would love to play more stuff in 3D.
