The Vision Pro Starts to Come Into Focus

The Vision Pro Starts to Come Into Focus

We're starting to cook with fire.

I'm writing this about the Vision Pro, in the Vision Pro. Which I really only did for a post or two for the novelty of it right after the device's initial release. But now I'm doing it because it's actually a good way to write. And to use a Mac in general. Because Apple finally gave us an expanded canvas to match the Vision Pro's capabilities.

I speak, of course, of the new "Wide" and "Ultrawide" modes for the Mac Virtual Display which are available to test as a part of the latest visionOS betas. Honestly, "Wide" might have been enough and it's what I think I'll use most of the time. But "Ultrawide" is fun.1 It's like wrapping your head in a computer UI. It's like you're wearing a computing visor. This is especially true if you use Spaces within macOS. Swiping between them now feels like a full-on carousel. It's a pretty amazing effect. Like the computer is spinning around you...
