Today at WWDC, Apple announced visionOS 27, its next major software version for Vision Pro. Here’s what’s new in visionOS 27.

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.
