During Apple’s popular Worldwide Developer Conference this year, it kicked things off with an update to Apple Vision Pro’s operating system, VisionOS. The new VisionOS 2 is set to bring a large collection of upgrades, tweaks, and new features to the Apple Vision Pro, not the least of which are new access to your favorite features and apps, and syncing with Mac PCs to allow you to bring the display up in a virtual AR form with up to 4K resolution.

Apple announced the VisionOS 2 update during WWDC 2024 this week. A massive array of improvements are coming. For one, new gestures will allow users to flick their wrists and pull up their favorite apps and features for easy opening. The virtual keyboard has also been improved to provide better responsiveness across the board. Perhaps most interesting is the Mac Virtual Display improvements. Now, if you sync the Apple Vision Pro with your Mac, you can bring up to 4K displays up in your AR workspace.
