Apple just introduced visionOS 26—a big update packed with immersive features designed to take the Apple Vision Pro experience to the next level. With spatial widgets, lifelike Personas, shared experiences, and developer tools, this update isn’t just about refinement—it’s about reimagining how we interact with space and content.

Spatial Widgets That Feel Real

Widgets are now truly part of your environment. In visionOS 26, widgets like Clock, Weather, Music, and Photos float in your space and are always there when you put on Vision Pro.

You can customize their size, color, and depth, so it feels like your space is really yours. Want a quick glance at the time or weather while watching a movie? It’s right there.

Bonus: Developers can now build their own widgets using WidgetKit, and users can find even more through the new Widgets app.

Share Spatial Experiences—In the Same Room

Apple is leveling up how we connect. Now, multiple Vision Pro users can share the same experience together in one space—watch a 3D movie, play a game, or brainstorm on a design, all while being physically present.

Plus, remote friends can still join in through FaceTime, making it a hybrid space for collaboration or fun.

Note. Dassault Systèmes is already using this in their 3DLive app, letting teams interact with 3D designs both locally and remotely.

Personas Look More Real Than Ever

Personas, your digital representation, just got a massive upgrade. With better rendering of hair, skin, lashes, and even side profiles, your Persona now feels more human and familiar.

You can preview and adjust how you look during setup, and even pick from over 1,000 glasses styles. It’s a new level of personalization.

New Spatial Scenes Powered by AI

Want your photos to feel alive? visionOS 26 uses AI to add rich depth and perspective to your images, turning them into spatial scenes. You can move around, lean in, and explore your memories like never before.

Apps like Zillow Immersive are using this to show home photos in full 3D depth, letting you “walk” through a listing before ever visiting.

Safari Gets a Spatial Upgrade

With spatial browsing in Safari, web articles and images now float in your space. You can even scroll through 3D web content or interact with embedded models right inside your browser.

Watch and Play Like Never Before

visionOS 26 adds native support for,

• 180° and 360° video
• Wide field-of-view content

Whether it’s Insta360, GoPro, or Canon footage, Vision Pro now plays it as it was meant to be seen.

Gamers will also love the new support for PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, bringing precise motion tracking, touch sensing, and immersive feedback to Apple Vision Pro gaming.

New Tools for Enterprises

Businesses are embracing spatial computing, and Apple’s making it easier than ever.
