An update to visionOS 2.2 has significantly enhanced the Apple Vision Pro's compatibility with Mac computers, particularly improving its virtual display capabilities.

This update introduces three Mac Virtual Display options: Standard, Wide, and Ultrawide, which enhance usability and provide more viewing space.

The Ultrawide display option boasts an impressive resolution of 10240 x 2880, while the Wide display's maximum resolution of 6720 x 2880 is preferred for ease of use.

Previously, the Mac Virtual Display feature was limited, resulting in cramped and blurry text, which made it challenging to use as a primary display.

The expanded display options now allow for a more comfortable work environment, whether at home or on the go, enhancing the headset's versatility.

While the author primarily enjoys using the Vision Pro as a movie theater for films like 'Dune', it is still evolving into a more functional computing device.

This evolution from a simple movie theater experience to a high-resolution display makes the Vision Pro's high price feel more justified.

Additionally, the update redirects audio through the headset, improving the overall experience compared to traditional computer speakers.

Despite some quirks, the expanded virtual display is seen as a significant upgrade, bringing the Vision Pro closer to being a 'killer app' for productivity, although comfort remains a concern for prolonged use.

However, minor issues persist, such as sluggishness when switching display modes and the Mac not retaining resolution settings, which can disrupt window organization.

The author also highlights the adaptability of the Vision Pro, noting its usefulness while reclining in bed after a back strain.
