Another standout feature of visionOS is its “multi-app 3D engine,” enabling simultaneous operation of different applications. While the overall appearance of visionOS resembles that of other virtual reality platforms, with floating windows in front of the user, its true strengths lie in individual use cases.
With visionOS, users can send and display 3D image files via Messages, allowing models to be viewed from various angles. The system also adapts to the ambient lighting, providing accurate shadows that match the user’s environment. This feature aids in understanding scale and distance. Additionally, professionals can customize their workspace by arranging apps to their liking.
Control within visionOS primarily relies on hand gestures, eye movements, and voice commands. However, users also have the option to connect Bluetooth peripherals, such as the Magic Keyboard, for a more physical interaction.
At launch, visionOS will natively support third-party apps, including popular ones like Adobe Lightroom, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. It remains uncertain if applications like Photoshop will be available upon release.
