Apple does not talk about future future products (despite Siri), but I cannot help, but look forward because I first tried all new features in Visionos 26, which is in the developer beta and reaching the decline.
Yes, the new Visionos will be launched on Vision Pro, and as far as we know there is no new spatial computing hardware this year – although there are rumors of a lighter vision air headset on the way.
But as I saw a panoramic photo widget of Japan and Mount Fuji on the wall in front of me – like a window – I was thinking a lot about the implication of Visionos 26 for rumor apple glasses.
During a visionos 26 demo, I was able to play with new spatial widgets, which I think apple is very large implications for a pair of smart glass.
I opened the new widget app in Visionos and then placed a clock on the wall I was staring, and I could accommodate the color and width of the frame. But with another tap I could then see that the widget was literally drowned in the wall, causing almost strange feeling of depth.
I moved from one room to another to display the fact that you can pin the widget and make their locations continuously. Therefore, for example, your music widget can always be in one place. And as soon as I went to that widget, I could see more information about Lady Gaga album and started playing my music.
All this is good if you have $ 3,500 to burn on a vision Pro and do not feel like wearing a 1.3-pound headset throughout the day. But I think the use of such cases becomes very interesting when you can reduce the technique to work on a pair of smart glasses.
3D photos somehow got better
The vision pro 2D can first turn photos to 3D, but it was doing so by displaying different information in your left eye and right eye.
The convenience of new spatial scenes works differently and quickly converts your flat pics into something more immersive, thanks to AI.
In an image I could literally peek behind a rocky boycott and could see more a body of water which was not even in the original photo. Apple is using a new AI algorithm that takes advantage of computational depth to crate several approaches from your 2D photos.
The result is that it seems that you can get different approaches of images by only bending in the shot and bending your head.
Again, I can see sliding on a pair of glasses to achieve this effect, but I don’t know what is payable if we are talking about a heavy headset.
360 videos taken to next level
Easily the most leaving the jaw of my Visionos 26 demo was able to see someone, thanks to the 8K footage captured by an Insta 360 3D video camera.
The point of this demo was to show that Visionos supports the native playback of 180-degree, 360-degree and detailed Fov material from 26 3D cameras. Apple’s new Apple approximate media profile takes these shots and transforms them into the surrounding area.
As the pioneer essentially floated on a mountain and shouting his head, I was excited to live bizarrely through him and was relieved that I was not that.
Honestly, I think this format is fine for vision Pro and can be difficult to pull into apple glasses, as they have to give you a very wide area. But the demo was still impressive.
Shared AR Experience
During the WWDC 25 I used to laugh loudly-in addition to seeing CGI-Ainhasd Windblown Hair of Craig Federghi after emerging from an F1 race car.
And he was showing Apple wearing two people wearing a visionos headset who was watching a film on a couch. First of all, who is going to do when you are in the same room? And, more important, which cat can tolerate hardware worth $ 7,000 for that kind of experience?
But a more compelling shared experience for Visionos 26 was the demo. An apple representative loaded the 3D version of the space suit of Neil Armstrong and then I could zoom in and move around it. It can be a great teaching tool, for example, trying to explain concepts to children for parents.
But before I woke up, I had to take the battery of the Vision Pro with me and went around the space suit to inspect it, which puts a sponge on the experience. It will be much more compelling with smart glasses.
Personality is improved (but still I am thrown out)
Last but at least, I did not want to mention that I tried a new personality at Vision Pro with Visionos 26. Virtual Mi definitely looks more realistic now, especially when you bend your head.
There was a real challenge before the side view. You would rotate your head, and it was almost as if you turned into a ghost with a missing expansion. Both my hair and skin looked more realistic, and the apple closely paid attention to small details like the eyelids.
Frankly, I still do not really love what my personality looks like. I wish I could be able to smooth my skin slightly and perhaps make my teeth a little white. But you can increase your personality by changing the portrait effect, as well as accessorizing with glasses.
I could see myself dialing in a video call in the future if Apple could pull it with smart glasses.
Visionos 26 outlook
At the risk of beating a dead horse, I like a lot of features in Visionos 26, but until I see a lighter, more economical spatial computer from Apple, I think Vision Pro will continue a hard sales.
I believe that Apple’s final goal is to create a pair of smart glasses that can distribute all the above experiences and then something.
earlier this year, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg Told that Apple’s Tim Cook was “focused on light glasses that a customer can wear all day”-AR offers that “will overlay data and images on real-world ideas.”
In fact, Apple allegedly “is a hell-beige on creating an industry-agronic product before the meta.”
For me, Visionos offers a very good initial blueprint to offer 26 apple glasses.
