![]() ![]() So the practical way to achieve the equivalent of multiple Mac monitors will be to use your virtual Mac display for your power apps – Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and so on – while creating separate visionOS panes for things like Safari, Mail, Notes, Maps, and so on. While you can only push one display from your Mac, you can mix-and-match it with visionOS apps. There is, however, a way to work with your Mac while also using multiple displays. So at some point down the road, we’re likely to see multiple display capabilities – just not on the first-gen Vision Pro, and not any time soon. Work is constantly being done on real-time data compression to make these sorts of applications more efficient, and thus more powerful. The Mac uses AirPlay 2 to send the data needed for the virtual display, and even if you do this to a 5K or 8K monitor today, you’ll only get a 4K window.īut just as AirPlay 2 improved on the capabilities of AirPlay, things won’t end there. Will we be able to have multiple Mac displays later?īy the time Vision Pro launches, probably not. But while Apple is meeting the needs of those who want very high-res displays in, by today’s standards, modest sizes (27″ and 32″), there’s nothing for those of us who want to go bigger.īut perhaps that’s because Apple sees physical displays as old tech – due to be replaced by virtual ones, which can be literally any size we like? That’s the vision my colleague Zac Hall suggested, ahead of the launch of Vision Pro. Sure, there’s the $1,600 to $2,300 Studio Display, and it’s far more expensive big brother the Pro Display XDR “from” $5K. Many have complained that Apple seems to have limited interest in displays. ![]() This may explain Apple’s limited interest in displays So this is a bandwidth limitation rather than an Apple one. The connection to the Mac is a wireless one, and one 4K monitor is about as much data as you can reliably push over a wireless connection. While it may be disappointing, it’s actually not surprising. So for those hoping that you could have a whole array of virtual monitors in your mixed-reality workspace, sadly that won’t be possible. You can place it anywhere in space and use Vision Pro as an enormous, private, portable 4K display. The bad news is that the feature is currently limited to a single 4K display.īring your Mac wirelessly into Vision Pro with Mac Virtual Display. Setup is as simple as can be: Apple says that all you need to do to wirelessly connect to your Mac is look at it through your Vision Pro. The answer is “yes, but”… Vision Pro Mac Virtual Display: Good & bad news I’ve seen quite a few posts asking whether you can use Vision Pro as a virtual monitor for your Mac. Apple briefly touched on using Vision Pro as a Mac Virtual Display, which could be a first step toward a true Mac-equivalent spatial computer.īut it did this so briefly, and in such a low-key way, that many missed it.
