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.
