Super impressed with this app allowing you to mirror any Mac app displayed separately within the #visionpro interface.

Awesome video, looking forward to seeing you testing on the continual performance and limit of this app, like latency, resolution and number of apps etc

Wow, seems like a pretty powerful app. The safari scroll feature is not working because it infers your control as a trackpad, and when you drag with a trackpad, it will definitely select the area rather than acting as a touch screen. Very cool implementation though. Ideally the users should be able to mirror additional desktops and all this config wouldnt be needed (Hats off the the dev/s for making this possible though)

@jcabassi Ай бұрын

I wonder if this app designates some other gesture for scrolling. Or if there’s a setting to adjust how it works. I’d imagine you’d be able to scroll somehow.

Did you notice how his voice changes around 4:12. Apple considers how users own voice should sound like even in its screen recording.

Pretty funny that you lose the natural verb when you go into a more open space that would have some natural reflections of its own.

@@jeroddunn There wouldn't be as much reverb since the objects the sound would bounce off are not as flat and physically close to the speaker.

Being able to move individual windows from my Mac desktop into space is something I’ve been craving since the very beginning… this app looks amazing, and I also can’t wait to see what Apple announces at WWDC ‘24. The ultimate would be if the AVP 2 could add an additional M2 Pro chip to simultaneously run a host macOS instance… then we could get rid of the laptop altogether and let iOS / macOS apps run side by side.

@jeroddunn Ай бұрын

I'm shocked they didn't do this from the start. Or at least let you do it with a tethered mac. It's the reason I haven't ordered one yet. That is the killer app for VisionPro at the moment, and it never shipped.

That’s a great app, you could do that on the original rift home that meta abandoned, and forget about completely when they released the quest.

I just have a feeling that Apple will do 5 desktop ‘screens’ with a WWDC update. 🤞 And I think Apple will do a decent job with it. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Thanks for posting all of these great videos!!!

Does it still work if you havent mirrored your mac screen initially? .Any way to save layouts so you dont have to reposition windows EVERY... SINGLE... TIME...!?

@omCi Ай бұрын

Amongst all the hits Apple has had some blunders, but not allowing multiple Mac screens on a $4000 1st gen device that’s easily purchased for business use has to be the greatest one. Only reason I don’t have one is because it would be a downgrade for work with multi monitor setup. And I’m sure I’m not the only one. 🤦‍♂️. Great video as always. By the way I only watch your Vision Pro videos as you are the only one showing all the features and pain points in short concise chunks.

Pretty cool...Is the mouse cursor still a vision OS cursor or the normal Mac cursor?

@adrianjagielak Ай бұрын

When you use it alongside the Mac Virtual Display or use a trackpad directly connected to your Vision Pro it is a visionOS cursor, however when you enable a cursor mode and don't use the mac virtual display you can use any mouse/trackpad directly connected to your Mac and it appears as the normal Mac cursor

Can you use the VP speakers with these windows?

@dwayne_ascending Ай бұрын

Nice review 👍🏽. I still believe that Split screen is the best Vision Pro app out currently for multiple desktop windows.

@jeroddunn Ай бұрын

Great overview of the app, but you missed the one thing that I would really like to know: Can you drag items between windows? I use immersed specifically to have multiple monitors open as I leave my different finder windows with my important directories open in one "monitor" specifically so that I don't have to keep re-navigating down the tree to get to common directories. i drag and drop items between them and into open applications. Can you do this with Universal desktop on vision pro?

@himelstech Ай бұрын

Good question, I don't think you can drag things between windows since it is only mirroring each window in a separate display. Given your use case I'd imagine Immersed is the better fit.

@NeilLavitt Ай бұрын

Pretty impressive. I may have missed it but when the application is broken out, is it mirroring the window on the Mac? So when you interact on the Mac does the broken out window change? Also, with all the windows littered around there seems to be a great need for an Immersed (Meta Version) dock to keep windows neatly organised and possibly even movable as a whole.

@himelstech Ай бұрын

It is just mirroring the app exactly as what would be shown on the Mac display. Check out my video on the Immersed beta for Vision Pro.

Yes it streams any app from your Mac including chrome. I didn’t notice any latency although it sounds like there’s a wide range in quality depending on the individual.

@himelstech Ай бұрын

@@kelly_software I don't have those apps. The video shows how each Mac Window is mirrored to Vision Pro. So, in the part of my video where I'm working on the CapCut timeline, imagine that's Final Cut or Premiere Pro. Every app can be mirrored to show exactly what's on your screen. The limitations will be your wifi for streaming the app to your Mac, and your computer for how many apps you want to run at once.

Way too laggy in my experience. Makes me realize how polished Mac Virtual Display actually is, they definitely have the video stream down. 4K 60 videos play in literal 4K 60. For me, Universal Desktop App can only handle 60fps at the lowest video settings. I'll wait to see if this improves in the future.

@adrianjagielak Ай бұрын

Hi, the lag seems to be currently highly variable depending on your Wi-Fi quality - you get the best results if both your Vision Pro and Mac are connected to a fast Wi-Fi 6 (or ethernet) and are relatively close to your router; In any case the stream is highly customizable - you can specify the frames per second, resolution, quality, codec, bitrate, and more in Mac helper app settings

@jamauai Ай бұрын

@@adrianjagielak I spent a couple hours trying every combination of those settings I could find, all on my Wi-Fi 6E connection, the same connection where Mac Virtual Display runs smoothly. OP hasn't demonstrated much in way of navigation within the windows aside from selecting text, so I'm curious what other reviews will show. Still love the concept and excited to see what the future holds.

@AlexanderCaley Ай бұрын

Common confusion, Mac virtual display does not use your WiFi router at all! The Vision Pro and Mac connect directly to each other, this feature can be used in isolation with no nearby WiFi network, it is not a network dependent feature.

@goodhartsmusic Ай бұрын

So, it’s disingenuous of you to act like you are a user of this app as opposed to the developer. Or am I mistaken? Is it possible also to move windows that you would Memor minimize if you could, into a different space? If I remember correctly desktop sharing on Vision Pro spaces.
