<p>The Vision Pro is nearing its one-year anniversary, and Apple's upcoming software update is set to introduce significant changes that could transform user experience. Among these is the Mac Virtual Display, which is receiving three enhancements in visionOS 2.2, greatly improving the realm of spatial computing.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-wide-and-ultrawide-display-modes">Wide and Ultrawide Display Modes</h2>

<p>Since its inception, the Mac Virtual Display has been a standout feature of the Vision Pro. However, it will fully leverage the device's unique capabilities with the release of visionOS 2.2.</p>

<p>The current Mac Virtual Display allows users to mirror their Mac's screen in a spatial visionOS window, but it has been restricted to a limited rectangular format. You can adjust the size of this rectangle, yet its fundamental shape remains unchanged.</p>

<p>With visionOS 2.2, two new display options—Wide and Ultrawide—harness the distinctive benefits of spatial computing.</p>

<p>These new modes provide a broader space for running your Mac applications. Since the surrounding area is not confined to standard laptop dimensions, it makes sense to offer more than just the traditional rectangular layout for the Mac Virtual Display.</p>

<p>Expanding the options for your Mac’s virtual display enhances your ability to utilize the available width in your environment, allowing for a more productive experience on your Vision Pro.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-high-quality-display-resolution">High-Quality Display Resolution</h2>

<p>A significant update ensures that regardless of the display mode chosen, the Vision Pro will deliver the macOS interface with enhanced clarity and detail.</p>

<p>The upgraded display resolution for Mac Virtual Display is superior to previous versions. This high-resolution improvement is especially beneficial for users who were dissatisfied with the earlier quality.</p>

<p>visionOS 2.2 effectively bridges the resolution disparity between content rendered in native visionOS applications and what users experience in mirrored macOS applications via Mac Virtual Display.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="2000" height="1000" src="https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all" alt="Vision Pro demand | Display model in Apple Store" class="wp-image-935933" srcset="https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg 2000w, https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg?resize=155,78 155w, https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg?resize=655,328 655w, https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg?resize=768,384 768w, https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg?resize=1024,512 1024w, https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg?resize=1536,768 1536w, https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg?resize=350,175 350w, https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg?resize=140,70 140w, https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg?resize=1600,800 1600w, https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg?resize=290,145 290w, https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/Vision-Pro-demand.jpg?resize=150,75 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px"/></figure>

<p>Additionally, visionOS 2.2 rectifies a peculiar issue that has persisted since the Vision Pro's introduction. Previously, the audio from your mirrored Mac would come through the Mac itself, rather than the Vision Pro.</p>

<p>While there were temporary solutions, such as connecting AirPods Pro or other Bluetooth headphones to the Mac, these did not accurately resolve the problem due to the audio from Mac Virtual Display and other visionOS applications being directed through different outputs.</p>

<p>Now, audio from the Mac Virtual Display is routed through the Vision Pro, ensuring a seamless audio experience whether using the built-in speakers or AirPods across all applications within your spatial computing setup.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-next-gen-computing-wrap-up">Next-Gen Computing: Wrap-Up</h2>

<p>It would be ideal if the Mac Virtual Display could function independently without needing a Mac, and perhaps one day that will come to pass. For now, the enhanced Mac Virtual Display in visionOS 2.2 offers a unique computing experience that is truly one-of-a-kind. It exemplifies what 'spatial computing' aims to achieve.</p>
