Top 10 visionOS 26 Features & Announcement (With Video)

In summary: The visionOS 26 features photorealistic personas, spatial scenes, PS vr2 controller, creative widgets, and much more.

Wow! The Apple Vision Pro just got better with these announcement that happened at WWDC25.

Did you imagined you would be able to build game or play game with local shared spatial experiences? Beneath the hood, visionOS 26 conveys remarkable features to its apple vision pro headset users, not in just game but everywhere.

Stick to this page to uncover what’s excited features announced for apple vision pro with vision os 26 – read’em all.

1. Photorealistic Personas

The major update in visionOS 26 is the platform’s ability to create face-tracked realistic avatars which have been “transformed to feel more natural and familiar” powered by “industry-leading volumetric rendering and machine learning technology”.

In detail, these personal avatars have “striking expressivity and sharpness, offering a full side profile view, and remarkably accurate hair, lashes, and complexion” leading to more realistic persona experience at a glance.

2. PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers

PlayStation gaming have been centric attention for Apple for decades. In visionOS 26 now gamers can prevail “a new class of game” with native support for the PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers which Sony planing to add and sell it separately but hasn’t confirmed.

Speaking of sense controls, it enumerate “6DoF positional tracking, capacitive finger touch detection, and vibration support” to make the game playing happening in real.

3. Eye-Scrolling Happening In Real

This update is specific with controversial avatars. As you can chat in voice with facial visibility and I actually not sure if it is bad or good, it also support eye-scrolling where user will be able to use their eyes to scroll up/down websites, apps, or documents.

This feature will reduce the hand-touch usability to open, scroll, and close documents, applications, or other things. But we have to wait until Apple will launch it worldwide.

4. 90Hz Hand Tracking

Earlier, the Apple vision pro headset run on 30Hz rates that limit screen responsiveness and accessibility flow. In visionOS 26, it has been upgraded to 90Hz responsiveness plus hand tracking ability that is beneficial in playing games or tasking where hand simulation is required.

Additionally, with visionOS 26 “hand tracking algorithm actually samples the sensors at 90Hz”.

5. Volumetric Spatial Scenes

Earlier version of Apple Vision Pro that runs on visionOS 2 was limited to photo spatial (display 3D photos). But in visionOS 26, it get improved further. It can record, render, and display a three-dimensional space or object, allowing users to view it from any angle.

Making it possible to move around and interact with digital content seamlessly utilizing a new generative AI algorithm and computational depth.

6. Local Shared Spatial Experiences

Previously crafting visionOS applications enabling shared experiences across multiple Vision Pro devices presented a hurdle. Synchronizing digital content location within the physical world a capability called colocation on other platforms was unavailable.

However visionOS 26 introduces this functionality. This enhancement utilizes SharePlay technology. The existing application programming interfaces are instrumental. They already facilitate remote experience sharing for Vision Pro users.

7. Logic Muse Spatial Stylus

Imagine drawing a line and calculating it measure all within visonOS 26 ecosystem. It is possible because Apple will go to add support for the upcoming Logitech Muse accessory empowered with spatial stylus.

At WWDC2025, Apple says “Logic muse enables precise input and new ways to interact with collaboration apps like Spatial Analogue”.

8. Intuitive Jupiter Environment

In visionOS 26, users can experience a new environment out of this world, for instance the Jupiter Environment where you’ll be able to speed up time to watch the sunlight break across Jupiter and other things.

For users, this giant view is available to access on Amalthea (closest moon to the Jupiter) and let you speed up time to watch how sunlight impact shows.

9. 180° & 360° Video Support

This includes both one-hundred-eighty degree and three-hundred-sixty degree formats. Apple intends to broaden the viewing experience. Current content should become readily accessible.

Affordable cameras from many brands are compatible. Insta360 GoPro and Canon are examples. This enhancement suggests an expanded content library. I believe this benefits users greatly.

10. Spatial Browsing In Safari

Last but not the least, Safari experience illuminated with spatial browsing feature in vision OS 26.

This feature will allow developers to embed 3D models in web pages and manipulate 3D models in an intuitive way directly in the page.
