As the video shows, AVP makes possible to view his DAW, running on a Mac, to show wherever he happens to be working in his music studio even larger than his physical display. Indeed this is AVP's superpower. I would not get one if you do not have a Mac. It would be cool if Remote Desktop had visionOS version, so you could have more than one remote display in there. For extra credit, have multiple application windows. Splashtop iPad app apparently will run on visionOS, and would let you connect to different OS's but I don't know at what resolution that would give you and it would still be only one window (unless perhaps you can run more than one instance on iPad?). Microsoft Remote Desktop is an iPad app but is not available on visionOS. But what is needed is a native visionOS remote desktop app to take full advantage of the platform. Not music production but forScore (sheet music app) now has a visionOS native version. I tried using Cue (also visionOS native) with my iPad but it wasn't working right.

I couldn’t login for some reason. I haven’t had a chance to try again after changing my password.

My AVP skills need some work too, to avoid accidental text selection and stuff like that. One small thing: I prefer pure black background with white text for reading, and the closest BookFusion has to this is a dark grey background. Apple Books has a pure black background. So does Kindle should it ever make it to visionOS. The initial app window size was too large for me (2 column landscape), but it is easy enough to adjust. I do not like 2 page spreads in general, unless it is fixed layout content that is designed for it, so I switched to portrait and reduced app window size so it was more comfortable. The initial margin settings were too narrow as well, almost zero. So far I'm using mostly scrolling mode. Last edited by tomsem; 03-13-2024 at 05:42 PM. |

Apple Vision Pro headset: the perfect reading device?

If the CPU could handle it, you could even flip through pages and scan the content quickly the way we do with real books that ebooks have never quite matched. It’s been a month or so since you set things up. How’s it going? |

At least until someone develops a reading app with a 3D book mode, and I have a chance to try it, it strikes me as unappealing, even as a novelty. I really do not miss being able to 'flip through pages' as with physical books. Many reading apps do have ways of doing this, even on eReaders. Kindle for example lets you drag scroller and shows page previews as you pause. It's pretty fast on Kindle devices, and instantaneous with the Kindle apps. I do plan to do more reading with AVP in the future. Out of the box, it provides a more distraction free reading and customizable reading environment that you can enjoy anywhere. There is a little friction to get it into reading mode, but I've been leaving it in standby mode (plugged into power) and there's a 3rd party utility that lets you re-launch a given set of apps when AVP starts up (surely that will be built in at some point, like it is on macOS?). But I would like to see a reading app that let you dictate notes as you are reading (visually select a word and begin speaking), have that transcribed in background and have the transcription attached at that location, and ideally have both voice recording and transcription sync to the reading app running on other platforms. It's too hard to type with the virtual keyboard, and while you can have a Magic Keyboard paired, it should not be required. Voice is a more natural way to enter text, and even if you could type, typing shifts your attention way from reading much more than speaking does. I'm looking for a more seamless reading experience that can also capture running commentary in a natural way. Of course you could also do this for computer and tablet reading apps, but the motivation to do so is stronger in a virtual environment where voice input is a better fit. Another thing: I want a reading app that lets you have more than one book open and in its own window (I suppose tabbed windows could be an option in addition to that). This should be a baseline feature whenever the platform supports multiple document apps. For some reason nobody has done one even for iPadOS, which has long supported multiple document apps. Apple Books does, but only on macOS. You have to use two apps, or read in a browser that supports MDI, like Safari. Of course, I think it unlikely anyone will develop visionOS specific features for reading apps any time soon. But one can dream. Last edited by tomsem; 04-21-2024 at 12:19 PM. |
