Apple's visionOS 26 brings eye-scrolling and support for PS VR2 controllers

Apple has updated the operating software for the Apple Vision Pro, visionOS, and added a couple of really nifty features. The company unveiled visionOS 26 at its live WWDC keynote. This is not the 26th operating system for Vision Pro. It's called that because of the Apple's new unified naming convention

The biggest news with visionOS 26 is that the Apple Vision Pro will now work with PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers. This should turn the Vision Pro into a legit gaming device, being as how the lack of analog controllers was a real hurdle to that end. This type of integration should let developers port over a bounty of Quest and Steam VR titles to the device. The headset will also now work with third-party accessories like the Logitech Muse, which is a stylus of sorts.

Widgets can now be placed anywhere in a virtual space, which could be handy. The company also promises "shared spatial experiences." Users will be able to come together to "watch the latest blockbuster movie in 3D, play a spatial game or collaborate with coworkers." Folks can add new participants via FaceTime.  

Apple's controversial Personas have gotten an update here, and they look a lot more lifelike. They almost look like actual people now. I'm actually not sure if this is good or bad.

The software update also brings eye-scrolling to the headset. This is exactly what it sounds like. People will be able to use their eyes to scroll up and down through documents, websites and apps. Spatial videos have gotten a boost here, with support for wide field-of-view content from Insta360, GoPro and Canon.

Apple's visionOS 26 will officially be available later this year, but testing begins today. It looks it's time to dig into the closet and break out that Apple Vision Pro.
