In our review, we called Apple Vision Pro a revolution in progress, but Visionos 26 proved that $ 3,500 headset is a warm-up for the actual revolution.
Do not misunderstand me, the new features (most) declared in the wwdc 2025 look (mostly) – the jury is still out on the supernatural valley of personality – but from the widget you can anchor around your room and spatial browsing can provide you with a 3D web browser experience in safari.
But with the announcement of each new feature, I realized: Visionos 26 is designed for glasses, not for glasses. These will make for a success pair of smart glasses.
it’s a kind of magic…
On its face, Visionos 26 is purposeful for spatial computing at home. It is a universal 360-degree experience designed to convert an entire room into a virtual smart space.
The 360-degree video captured from the choice of the INSTA360 can look and play as support and play, to match a room vision and exact anchoring, spatial widgets can be placed anywhere in a room to match a room vibe and exact anchoring.
In addition, new shared spatial experiences means that you can all see or do the same task (either in the same room or through facetime), spatial views bring a new AI algorithm 2D content to 3D, and it also comes in safari for 3D web pages.
In other good people have to relay the call from the iPhone, scroll apps and websites using your eyes, and that the Apple has increased the intelligence feature set.
… but imagine it in glasses
Take all this from above and think about it in the shape of glasses.
I am not asking for a second that you are going to pin spatial widgets on the Long Island Railroad Train for Pen Station. But such versatility is from glanceble information to interact with immersive content Huge.
It is a golden goose that Meta’s projects are chasing the choice of Orion and Android XR – all with Apple’s “It’s Just Works” dash with Shine’s dash.
In the local AI model also, throw away with the intention of your app for the intentions of your app with all the developers, as well as to answer questions about the world around you with visual intelligence, and it can be success that we are looking for.
How will it work?
One thing is clear right now – standalone smart glasses are not yet possible. To reach there, we need computational power, display techniques and battery capacity to fully develop, while quite small to fit in a pair of glasses.
Now the main workaround is a separate device, and the smartphone you are probably reading is a cursed powerful device for this purpose. You already see this for the choice of Viture Pro XR Glasses in fellow apps, or even standalone devices such as Xreal Beam Pro look like a smartphone.
And if someone has really shown his chops in being able to create a lightening fast wireless connectivity between their own equipment, then it is apple. Continuity here can take way to open the visono on the glasses and it can become a screen which means you keep that iPhone in the pocket.
This would be the way to do it in the next 12 months – until Apple did not know anything that we do not know about it. The company is probably buying AR glasses and doing reverse engineering, so we can be on a large scale.
Outlook
Apple’s smart glasses play is not a secret if you follow the rumor mill closely. Allegedly, Tim Cook “cares about nothing else” but by defeating Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses for AR Panch.
And if you track that whatever we have seen is the Visionos 26 Kupertino, who is showing a lot of his entire hand-the sleeve with iKC is these very somatic glasses.
Everything is falling like this place as I expected, and until there is another apple intelligence-shaped collision on the road, I think we can safely say that the Vision Pro is a delicious entertaining-seller that would be a revolutionary main course.
