Apple’s new Spatial Personas for Vision Pro are ‘so much better!’

Public Service Announcement

Apple this week released Spatial Personas within the Personas beta for all Vision Pro users running visionOS 1.1. Spatial Personas allow you to move around – say, during a FaceTime call or watching a movie with other Vision Pro users – and interact with digital content, providing a greater sense of presence.

Spatial Personas have a translucent background and include the head, hands, and top part of the torso to provide a more natural feel so that it seems like the people in the conversation are in the same physical room with one another. With Spatial Personas, people can move about in their real world space, and that’s reflected in the virtual setting. Persona location is the same for all people on a call, so if there are five participants, each one has a different location just as they would sitting together in a room.

If you look at or point to someone on the call, the other participants can see where you are looking or pointing. Voices are also directional relative to where each person is at.

Standard Personas show only a person’s face and are limited to a small tile, but spatial Personas have a much more immersive feel.
