‌visionOS 2‌ is able to take depth information from 2D photos and turn them into 3D photos using advanced machine learning. Apple says the feature is intended to add depth to photos to make memories more immersive.

There are new hand gestures for activating the Home View and Control Center, and the Home View can now be customized and apps can be reorganized. Travel mode now includes train support, and guest user profiles are now saved for 30 days, so guests don’t have to go through the setup process every time they try out the headset.

Later this year, Mac Virtual Display will support higher resolutions and larger virtual displays, which Apple says will be equivalent to having two 4K monitors side by side. With an AirPlay update, the Vision Pro can act as an AirPlay receiver, so content from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac can be shared to the headset.

The Mindfulness app can track and respond to your breathing patterns through the camera for an enhanced meditation experience, and Vision Pro supports Bluetooth mice running ‌visionOS 2‌.
