visionOS 2.2 Beta Adds Wide and Ultrawide Modes To Mac Virtual Display (macrumors.com) 10

Apple released the first beta of visionOS 2.2, introducing new "Wide" and "Ultrawide" modes for the Mac Virtual Display feature on the Vision Pro headset. MacRumors reports: Apple has previously said the ultra-wide version of Mac Virtual Display is equivalent to having two physical 4K displays sitting side by side on a desk. Mac Virtual Display is now available in three sizes: Normal, Wide, and Ultrawide. visionOS 2.2 will likely be released to the public in December alongside iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, macOS Sequoia 15.2, watchOS 11.2, tvOS 18.2, and other updates.

      My physical ultrawide monitor is 8k-by-2k, and using it is great. But it's about 120 degrees FOV at the nominal sitting distance, so it's wider than any current headset. The concept of this is appealing, but you are right: having to move one's head (especially with a heavy mask on) makes it much less useful.

  • How about letting users access their Mac remotely via the headset as long as you have internet access? Lots of people already have Macs. But as long as I am dreaming. They should also let people run Mac OS an iPhone. Or maybe even the iWatch. The newest ones likely have the processing power. If not the GPU. Just allow double booting. Or make one OS an App on the other. While those things would make their devices way more useful, Apple is too worried about a less expensive product cannibalizing sales of a mo

      While those things would make their devices way more useful, Apple is too worried about a less expensive product cannibalizing sales of a more expensive one. They are more afraid of disrupting themselves---er cash flow, than of not being more innovative than their competition. That is when you have become too big even for your own good.

      To that, I will reply with a famous quote:

      "If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will."
