visionOS

visionOS is Apple's operating system for Vision Pro and has served as the foundation of spatial computing within the Apple ecosystem since the headset's market launch in February 2024. visionOS builds on the pillars of iOS, iPadOS and macOS, but is consistently designed for spatial input: navigation works through eye movements, hand gestures and voice, complemented by Optic ID for authentication. Apps float freely in space, can be scaled at will and embedded into immersive Environments; on top of that come features such as Personas for FaceTime, spatial photos and spatial videos from iPhone, Mac Virtual Display for Mac connectivity, shared spatial experiences, Multiview for sports, and Enterprise APIs for organizations. visionOS runs both native visionOS apps and compatible iPad and iPhone apps.
