Vision Virtual Displays (release)

Vision Displays, a macOS app is now freely available for direct download.

This app was developed specifically for our “Vision Teleport” release for the Apple Vision Pro. You can create up to 4 temporary virtual displays, connected to your Mac.

Note: macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) is required for operation. Intel Macs are not tested yet.

If you for instance do not have any external displays connected to your Mac, you can create some. These virtual displays will add and work in conjunction with your real connected (hardware) displays.

The advantage of virtual displays is, that these are invisible and will enable to create more private spaces for usage with “Vision Teleport”. You may size, place and arrange loads of virtual displays, together with the real ones, connected to your Mac in spatial workspace of the Apple Vision Pro.

Vision Teleport supports dynamic allocation of any displays. After new virtual displays are created on the Mac, these will be available for selection in Vision Teleport on the Vision Pro.

Note: The maximum number of performant virtual displays on the Apple Vision Pro is very much dependent from the speed of your local network connection and aalso the power of your Mac.

You still need “Vision Teleport Server” installed and running on your Mac for the operation with the Vision Teleport app.

More info about virtual displays can be found on our help pages.

Vision Virtual Displays (announcement)

You may know, that we released ‚Vision Teleport‘, an app that lets you get productive by mirroring ALL the Mac‘s connected (hardware) displays to the Apple Vision Pro. It also works with HDMI dongles to emulate hardware (headless) displays on your Mac.

Now we are going a step further and will make an app for the Vision Pro, that can perform something similar based on software with purely virtual displays on the Mac. If you for instance do not have multiple physical displays connected to your Mac but want to work with multiple displays in spatial space, this will be the solution for you.

Virtual displays, like also hardware display dongles, are per default invisible on the Mac. But projection or screen sharing technologies can make them usable. The additional advantage of this is, that these hidden displays are only visible to you when working with the Vision Pro”s spatial space (or VNC and other screen sharing mechanisms).

So the Apple Vision Pro can be used to build up a complete virtual production environment with up to 4 virtual displays, if your Mac is connected. You just will control this hidden place virtual power studio with the Mac‘s native input controls, like mouse, touchpad and keyboard.

This would be like your Mac had connected 3 additional hardware displays with no wight. These displays are manageable like usually with the macOS system preferences panel, can be adjusted in resolution and virtually arranged (placed) where you want them for making sense for the interaction with the singleton mouse pointer.
