Has anyone tried using a VNC client (there appears to be various ones that are AVP-compatible) to get extra windows into a Mac?
Hi guys, still working on a little video. Foveated rendering makes the screen capture videos look very blurry outside of the focus point, when they do not appear that way through Vision Pro. I am working on a better way to capture video that will address that and allow better quality. First day and all . Even so, I hope these images (grabs from video) are useful to some who are interested. Coincidentally, I live at the base of Mount Hood and Mount Hood is one of the stock environments in Vision Pro, so I posted those images for fun .

The other images show Photoshop and Resolve at various resolutions and at full screen in the case of Resolve. I also showed the standard Mac display settings interface showing Vision
Pro as a monitor and with all options expanded there are many more options than I had originally thought. Very cool all around. I'm thoroughly enjoying getting used to this!

You can use Xcode for higher resolution captures, and no foveated rendering.What is the best way to grab video and screenshots from Vision Pro? When I press the screenshot buttons the screenshots like nothing like what I saw in the display.
I would love to see a screenshot of the two functioning together, even if a low res screenshot.I’m going to make you a happy fellow (as long as you want to use this for video editing…)
On your Mac install the NDI tools and then set NDI out as your video playback device in Premiere Pro. Then download the native NDI monitor on your Vision Pro and select the adobe premiere stream.
You now have a FULL size video out window in addition to your remote Mac window. Another benefit is that you get audio output directly from your Vision Pro.
Surprised no one else has written about this yet. Killer application for video editing!

Greatly appreciated. I'll give it a try.I had to pixel out some stuff since this is actual client work that’s not released yet.
But here you have a low res screenshot. Both displays you see are virtual.

Does the headset need to be connected via the developer usb-dongle? Or can this be done wireless? Do you happen to have a link to a tutorial?You can use Xcode for higher resolution captures, and no foveated rendering.
Both pieces of software you’ll need are free so def try.Greatly appreciated. I'll give it a try.

I do do video editing. That looks pretty cool!I’m going to make you a happy fellow (as long as you want to use this for video editing…)

Much difference in colours between your Mac display and virtual ones?I had to pixel out some stuff since this is actual client work that’s not released yet.

Not that I can tell. Looks pretty much the sameMuch difference in colours between your Mac display and virtual ones?
Is there any solution (third party software?) to enable the use of more than one virtual screen from a Mac?
This!!!! I fully expected it (probably dumbly so) to be as sharp and crisp as my external, non retina, display. But since it’s not I’m not sure I’ll really end up using it that way.Casting my mac to it is imo the killer app but the low text quality + fatigue of wearing it, not sure that it's good enough to want to use regularly.
Hi guys, what resolutions are you selecting on the Mac side? Have you experimented with alternate resolutions? Interested to know.This!!!!

I think we are two hardware revisions from this being a great product.
Where is the 4k settings for Vision Pro? Can you screengrab the settings I need to change to make this work.Hi guys, I wanted to share a few early discoveries about Vision Pro. I had heard from one of the youtubers, that resolution was set at a low resolution for the virtual mac monitor. This is incorrect. Vision pro is treated as any other monitor within your Mac. If you go to settings and view displays, you will see that the vision pro is represented with multiple resolutions available all the way up to 4K. By selecting 4K you get a ton of real estate on the virtual monitor. This is particularly useful here, because you can scale the monitor itself to any size. For that reason a 4K resolution is still usable, where, on a studio display for instance, that same resolution may be mostly unusable due to the interface elments being too small to see comofortably on the fixed scale screen.
Also, a small sidenote, you can open multiple Safari windows. I hadn't seen this done in any of the early presentations. These also can be resized to any scale.
I used vision for work all morning. This is gonna be an epic set up for work!
I will try to post a video of this soon.
Hi, this isn't a Vision Pro setting. It is a Mac setting. Once you've connected your Mac to Vision Pro, open settings on the Mac through Vision Pro and the select displays. Be sure to tick the box to show all resolutions. You will then see up to 5K. There are screenshots of this in my 2nd post of this thread .Where is the 4k settings for Vision Pro? Can you screengrab the settings I need to change to make this work.
... but is it possible to just have the Mac run at 4K so it can stream that resolution directly, avoiding one of the downsampling steps?You get the same screen real estate as on a 5K 27” monitor (1440p logical resolution). Those 5K are downscaled to 4K for output towards the AVP, and then 3D-transformed onto the pixel grid of each of the two AVP panels (generally taking up a lesser number of pixels there than on a 4K monitor). This downscaling and 3D transformation means losing some sharpness compared to an actual 5K or 4K display.
The 4K is for Apple Silicon Macs. Intel Macs downscale to 3K.
Yeah I’ve noticed that tooE.g on macrumors I have to look just above a forum link to ‘select’ it with my eyeballs and that’s really slowing me down.
The problem with the screen resolution is the following and lies in nature of things: you NEVER will get native resolution on the Vision Pro.
1. Because it just works like this: To provide a screen resolution of 4K for instance, internally (and ideally) a texture with 4K is used. But the window is heaviest scaled down because projected into the spatial workspace. So what you see, is not a native resolution, but always a scaled version of the native display resolution.
2. 4K resolution without compression ( lossless ) will need extreme wireless network bandwidth, which will become a problem very soon and also possibly will introduce latency and lags. So it would be always better to reduce resolution in favour of for speed. This is also better for readability of the virtual displays in most cases.
