How to cast your iPad or iPhone to the Apple Vision Pro with Vision Teleport.
There are possibilities to cast your iPad or iPhone to the Vision Pro but these have some certain limitations (which are house-made by Apple).
If your Mac has connection to your Vision Pro by using Vision Teleport, it is very easy to project the external devices content onto Vision Teleports virtual displays. Just project the iPad or iPhone onto one of your available Mac displays with the inbuilt screen sharing feature by Apple.
Now you will to see the contents of your external device on the Apple Vision Pro via virtual displays of Vision Teleport!
But the (quite stupid) disadvantage is, that Apple has chosen to black out ALL connected displays of your Mac (if an external screen sharing is active) and so you cannot use this approach side by side with your Mac‘s normal display contents. Even all virtual displays will be blacked out this way !!! Now, isn‘t that stupid ??? I am not seeing any justifiable technical reason for doing that. But wait a bit …
A slightly better solution is to connect your mobile Apple device with a Lightning or USB3 cable to your Mac and open Apple‘s QuickTime player. Select ‚record movie‘ and as source your connected device. Do not start the recording, if you do not want to make a video. This will display the contents of your iPad or iPhone as a preview window and you also can resize it as you want. This method is much better and you do not need to purchase extra apps. The only disadvantage here is, that you need to connect the device with a USB cable, wireless connections are not supported by QuickTime player. You also cannot control the projected screens in any way directly. Not with both methods here described.
But if you want to watch the contents of your mobile devices, you could create a virtual display with ‚Vision Displays‘, select this with ‚Vision Teleport‘ as a virtual display on the Vision Pro and project the mobile devices screen onto this virtual display. Voila! You can now watch the contents of your mobile Apple device side by side with others on the Apple Vision Pro and this without blacking out any other displays.
ps: This also will work with the Apple TV box, if connected with a USB C cable to the Mac.
