Apple unveils visionOS 27 with panoramas as environments, AI upgrades, more

Vision Pro has been available for a little over two years now, and in addition to an M5 hardware revision last fall, visionOS has improved significantly over that time.

But there’s been a lot of discourse about the Vision Pro’s future amid reportedly slow sales.

visionOS 27 shows us a glimpse of that future. It’s the next major software update for Vision Pro, and represents Apple’s continued work on the Vision platform.

Here’s what’s new in visionOS 27:

• Turn panoramas you shoot into spatial scenes
• Use panoramas as your immersive Environment
• Enhanced Flyover features in Apple Maps
• Next-generation of Apple Intelligence
• Entirely new Siri that’s more responsive to your needs
• “New windows with curvature”
• Visual intelligence, so you can ask Siri about anything you’re looking at
• Expand notifications with your eyes
• Redesigned Control Center
• And more via Apple’s website

visionOS 27 will be available in developer beta later today, and Apple will ship the new software to all Vision Pro users this fall.
