We are now on the 4th day post-launch - to those with the headset, what software features are you missing? I'm 100% sure visionOS 2.0 is coming the end of this year (To be announced at WWDC.) I doubt it will be a massive update, but I'm sure a lot of the rough edges will get ironed out.
For me:
For me:
- Spaces/Mission Control - some way to save a configuration of windows and hide/show them all together. I'd like to have a "work" setup, an entertainment setup and a gaming setup. Currently there is just a ton of manual window management to do to switch modes.
- Phone calls - My iPhone rang with a normal phone call and I couldn't see/answer via the headset.
- Widgets - basically 2d/3d mini apps that you can stick around your space. Think a small clock widget. Or a notepad. Or a little box that displays the temperature with a 3d model of the weather. They should also "stick" to surfaces, as in you can put a calendar displayed on the surface of your desk, or a live reminders list on the edge.
- App organization - currently I'm in the phase of install first, try later. But finding things in a giant alphabetical list is pretty annoying.
- Calendar/reminders native apps - my suspicion is that these apps are getting completely redone for both visionOS, iOS and macOS with new AI features, and that is why we have iPad versions in 1.0.
- Home gesture - some new hand gesture to open the app launcher, like looking at the palm of your hand. The button is fine, and siri works, but having some less involved way to do it would be cool.
- "Shared Immersive Space" - don't really know what to call this - but a new mode of app allowing for shared space apps to be used from within an immersive space. One giant use case - working inside a giant movie theater in the TV app - playing a show in the background on a giant screen, while working on your laptop/using other visionOS apps. Right now visionOS is an amazing theater experience, but sometimes it'd be cool to just have youtube playing on a giant theater screen 20 feet away on a virtual wall while typing away on my mac.
