Apple Vision Pro Adds Better Mac Screen Mirroring in Software Update

Apple Vision Pro, is said to have gotten the visionOS 2.2 update. The latest version of the Cupertino-based tech giant’s operating system resolves a number of lingering problems. The Mac Virtual Display, which enables users to reflect the screen of a Mac computer to the headset, was one of the enhancements it provided. Users can now adjust the mirrored interface’s design, increase the display’s resolution, and resolve the audio routing problem thanks to the latest updates.

The Vision Pro is already a year old, and Apple has some significant changes planned for its upcoming software update that may affect how it is used. In visionOS 2.2, Mac Virtual Display, one of the greatest features of Vision Pro, receives three enhancements that significantly improve spatial computing.

The stable version of visionOS 2.2 has been made available for Vision Pro headsets worldwide, according to a 9to5Mac article. The new capabilities in the update are ones that Apple has already described in its release notes for the OS beta versions. Three significant improvements to the Mac Virtual Display are included in the update, along with a number of updates for Siri, SwiftUI, and other utility apps.

Mac Virtual Display has been one of the best features of the Vision Pro since its inception. However, it wasn’t until visionOS 2.2 that it fully capitalized on the special advantages of the Vision Pro.

You can mirror your Mac’s screen in a spatial visionOS window using the existing Mac Virtual Display functionality. However, it is only offered in a relatively limited rectangular shape. That rectangle remains the same basic shape regardless of how big or tiny you make it.

Wide and Ultrawide are two new display modes in visionOS 2.2 that take advantage of the special benefits of spatial computing.

You may run all of your Mac apps on a considerably larger canvas with both of the new modes. It didn’t make sense to restrict Mac Virtual Display to the conventional rectangular shape because the area surrounding you isn’t constrained by the measurements of a typical MacBook Air or MacBook Pro.

You can use your Mac’s virtual display more effectively and accomplish much more with your Vision Pro at once if you have more possibilities.

Since the initial announcement of the Vision Pro at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2023, the Mac Virtual Display has been one of the most eagerly awaited features. This functionality enables users to utilize the headset to operate on their Mac computers. A virtual keyboard and trackpad were also added in the mirroring capability so that users could utilize the reflected interface to do a variety of tasks. There were certain restrictions, though.

Another significant modification guarantees that the Vision Pro will display macOS clearly regardless of the display setting you’re using.

Mac display resolution Virtual Display has improved significantly. For consumers who feel that the current resolution is insufficient, the high-resolution upgrade is a welcome adjustment.

With visionOS 2.2, the resolution difference between content displayed in a native visionOS program and that of a mirrored macOS app with Mac Virtual Display is reduced.

Last but not least, visionOS 2.2 fixes a peculiar behavior that has persisted since the release of the Vision Pro. In the past, your mirrored Mac’s audio would be sent through the Mac, not the Vision Pro.

There were solutions for this problem, such as pairing your Mac with AirPods Pro or another Bluetooth headset. However, since your other visionOS apps and Mac Virtual Display would stream audio through other outputs, that still wasn’t a suitable solution.

The Vision Pro itself is now used to route audio for the Mac Virtual Display. Thus, you can enjoy a consistent audio experience throughout all of your spatial computing, whether you’re using the built-in speakers or AirPods

If Mac Virtual Display didn’t really require a Mac, that would be fantastic. Perhaps that will be the situation in the future. However, for the time being, visionOS 2.2’s enhanced Mac Virtual Display offers a computing experience that is unmatched elsewhere. It has the feel of next-generation computing, which may be the main idea behind “spatial computing.”

First off, although the Mac Virtual Display’s size could be changed, the window’s typical rectangular form could not be altered. With visionOS 2.2, users can now choose between wide and ultrawide modes, which give them more screen real estate to work comfortably on macOS.

The resolution represents yet another improvement. The mirrored macOS now has a higher-resolution display thanks to the upgrade. Although it closes the gap, the improved quality is apparently still not as good as material created in a native visionOS app.

Lastly, visionOS 2.2 also resolves the problem where the audio from the mirrored Mac screen would continue to pass through the device rather than the Vision Pro. This implies that the Mac device would still be the source of the audio even while a video was being played through the Mac Virtual Display. This has been resolved, though, and users can now hear sounds straight through the Vision Pro.
