Apple has released the fifth beta of visionOS 27 to developers, two weeks after the fourth beta was made available. To install the beta, users can open the Settings app, navigate to Software Updates, and opt-in for Beta Updates. visionOS 27 introduces an upgraded Siri AI, akin to chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude. The AI can answer questions about what the wearer is viewing and features a new Siri orb that can be placed anywhere in the user's virtual space.
Panorama photos can be transformed into spatial environments, with a newly added Icelandic Thórsmörk environment showcasing rugged mountains, valleys, glaciers, and the northern lights. Developers can also create 360-degree Web Environments in Safari for a more native Vision Pro browsing experience. App windows are now curved for a more immersive workspace, and Control Center has been reorganized for easier system control access.
A smaller widget size has been introduced, and notifications automatically expand when the user looks at them. Additional details regarding visionOS 27's features are available in the Vision Pro roundup.
