Apple debuts VisionOS 2 at WWDC 2024 | TechCrunch

Today at its annual WorldWide Developer Conference in Cupertino, Apple announced updates to VisionOS, the operating system running on the Vision Pro.

The upgraded VisionOS — VisionOS 2 — brings with it productivity enhancements and “new immersive experiences.” One lets you “spatialize” photos from regular photos, leveraging AI tech. Another is a new navigation option: VisionOS 2 lets you switch to the home screen by just tapping, or flip your hand over to bring up the control center with notifications, shortcuts and more.

VisionOS 2 adds train support to the travel mode feature. And Apple says that, later this year, it’ll bring higher display resolution and sizes for the Mac virtual display capability, which lets Vision Pro users see the content on a connected Mac within an immersive desktop view.

Lastly, VisionOS 2 will make it easier for developers to make apps. There’s new volumetric APIs that allow for two apps at once. a new developer kit called TabletopKit for games and new enterprise APIs.
