Siri knows what you’re looking at and can respond accordingly.
Although the Vision Pro doesn’t seem to be a big priority for Apple these days, the company won’t be abandoning the software for its $3,500 headset anytime soon – if for that reason alone, it will almost certainly work on Apple’s rumored glasses. visionOS 27 aligns with the rest of the WWDC 2026 announcements, focusing on new AI features.
The new Gemini-powered Siri could be a nice addition to the Vision Pro. The AI ​​assistant can track your gaze and use visual intelligence to answer questions about what you’re looking at. You can even activate Siri by looking at its floating icon and speaking. (No need to say “Hey Siri,” although that still works, too.) You can place the Siri icon anywhere in your physical environment.
Apple gave the example of a user asking if a backpack they were looking at in Safari would be considered carry-on luggage for an upcoming trip. The assistant combined its global knowledge of airline requirements with the personal context of the user’s trip, then answered follow-up questions about whether the hiking boots they were looking at in Safari would fit in the bag.
As on Apple’s other platforms, visionOS 27’s Siri can compose or edit text wherever you type. And you can customize the assistant’s voice, including pitch, speed, and tone.
In other areas, visionOS 27 can transform panoramas you’ve taken into spatial scenes with depth, which you can use as your personal environment on Vision Pro. You can expand notifications just by looking at them. App windows on visionOS apps now support curvature, which can allow for more natural viewing (like curved monitors floating in your space). And if you’re a designer, you can preview and edit 3D models from your Mac in your physical space.
