Juno YouTube Apple Vision Pro

While Google seems in no hurry to build a YouTube app for Apple Vision Pro, developers such as Christian Selig (known for his work on Apollo for Reddit) have created alternative apps to access the platform on visionOS. Unfortunately, it seems that Google wasn’t happy about this and asked Apple to remove the YouTube app “Juno” from the App Store.

Meta Quest Pro discontinued, adding to price pressure on non-Pro Apple Vision product

Meta Quest Pro discontinued

The Meta Quest Pro headset has been discontinued, with the company officially bidding goodbye to its most expensive headset while selling off remaining units. This follows an earlier decision to abandon work on an even more expensive Vision Pro competitor.

Immersed Visor promo image

Immersed Visor is a new headset aiming to fill the middle ground between simple ‘face monitors’ like the $440 Viture One XR and the self-contained $3,500 Vision Pro. Weighing about the same as an iPhone 16 Pro, it’s priced at $1,050, though there are some sketchier price models.

Like lower cost monitor-in-glasses-format products, you can’t use it as a standalone device – it’s solely intended for use as a Mac monitor – but it does offer hand-tracking and eye-tracking …

GAZEploit | Victim and attacker views of the attack in action

Security researchers came up with a pretty wild Vision Pro exploit. Dubbed GAZEploit, it’s a method of working out the passwords of Vision Pro users by watching the eye movements of their avatars during video calls.

They’ve put together a YouTube video (below) to demonstrate how tracking the avatar’s eye movements accurately detects the virtual keys the Vision Pro user is looking at when typing …

Vision Pro will live or die on Apple’s own words: ‘spatial computer’

Vision Pro

Apple’s Vision Pro has been available for over half a year. Despite an initial wave of excitement and viral buzz around its launch, these days Vision Pro discourse isn’t very positive. The device’s rumored sales struggles are often highlighted, as are its lack of compelling apps and content. It’s too early to call the Vision Pro a success or flop, but to mark six months, I’d like to explore what the device’s success ultimately hinges on. And I think it all comes down to Apple’s own words: ‘spatial computer.’

Meta files a patent to copy Vision Pro's EyeSight feature | Patent image shown next to Apple promo image

Meta has filed a patent for a method of replicating Vision Pro’s EyeSight feature in its own virtual reality headsets.

It’s not surprising that Meta is keeping a close eye on Vision Pro, and looking to see what lessons it can learn for its own Quest headsets; it’s somewhat more surprising that it would seek to copy a feature which has been poorly received, and that Apple is likely to drop …

These two visionOS 2 features aim to make your Vision Pro an actually useful computer

Vision Pro

When Apple Vision Pro was first unveiled to the world, Apple repeatedly emphasized it was a ‘spatial computer,’ not a VR headset. Demos showed it doing computer-y things, and the press release claimed “Vision Pro enables users to be even more productive.”

Since getting into users’ hands, it’s become clear that Vision Pro isn’t necessarily the best platform for getting things done. But visionOS 2 aims to change that, with two key features that might just make the Vision Pro into an actually useful computer.
