Apple has unveiled two new applications alongside the release of iOS 18.4 and visionOS 2.4: ‘Apple Vision Pro’ for iPhone users and ‘Spatial Gallery’ for Vision Pro headset users. These additions aim to enhance user experience by providing centralized platforms for device management and immersive content exploration.
‘Apple Vision Pro’ App for iPhone
The ‘Apple Vision Pro’ app serves as a dedicated hub for managing the Vision Pro headset directly from an iPhone. Its key features include:
– Device Information Access: Users can view essential details such as the model number, software version, and serial number of their Vision Pro headset.
– User Guidance: The app offers tips and access to the Vision Pro user guide, assisting users in maximizing their device’s capabilities.
– Content Discovery: A ‘Discover’ page within the app showcases curated stories about recent Vision Pro updates and content, similar to the App Store’s ‘Today’ tab. This feature allows users to explore new and noteworthy experiences available on the Vision Pro, including popular apps, games, and immersive videos.
For Vision Pro owners, the ‘Apple Vision Pro’ app is automatically installed upon updating to iOS 18.4. Other users can download it separately from the App Store.
‘Spatial Gallery’ App for Vision Pro
The ‘Spatial Gallery’ app, introduced with visionOS 2.4, provides a centralized location for users to access spatial media, including photos, videos, and panoramic shots. Beyond personal media, the app offers:
– Curated Content: Users can explore a variety of curated spatial experiences spanning art, culture, entertainment, lifestyle, nature, sports, and travel. At launch, content includes collaborations with brands like Red Bull, Cirque du Soleil, and Porsche, as well as behind-the-scenes material from Apple Originals such as ‘Severance,’ ‘The Studio,’ and ‘The Morning Show.’
– Regular Updates: Apple plans to release new content regularly, ensuring a continually refreshed selection of immersive experiences for users.
These new applications reflect Apple’s commitment to enhancing the integration and functionality of its devices, providing users with streamlined management tools and rich, immersive content.
