You download it the first time you use it.- It's interactive: use the new Explore Jupiter controls to choose Dawn, Sunrise, Afternoon, Sunset, Night and scrub time with a slider. You can also speed up Jupiter's rotation to watch storms and light shift in real time.- Your vantage point is Amalthea, one of Jupiter's inner moons, with accurate celestial motion around you.- Apple used NASA imagery for authenticity; the Great Red Spot is visible as you linger.- Public release of visionOS 26 is slated for Monday, September 15, 2025 (per current reporting).Why it matters- First Vision Pro Environment that invites active exploration (not just a static backdrop), hinting at richer, science-infused immersive scenes to come.- Ideal ambiance for space cinema sessions — think Apple TV+ sci-fi — with controllable lighting and planetary motion for vibe-matching.How to try it (quick steps)1. Update to visionOS 26 RC on Vision Pro.2. Open Control Center → Environments.3. Select Jupiter (first run will download assets).4. Tap Explore Jupiter to choose time-of-day presets or scrub time; try rotation speed-up to accentuate banding and storms.Pro tips for a great session- For movie night, set Sunset or Night to darken ambient light before pressing play.- After you've watched Jupiter for a bit at normal speed, look for the Great Red Spot creeping along the horizon — it's subtle and satisfying.- Look opposite Jupiter occasionally; you'll notice stars and other moons tracking realistically as Amalthea “turns.”Follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher service Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com Website: ThePodTalk.Net

Marty covers the Space Black color rumor and internal chip bump for the next Apple Vision Pro as reported by Zac Hall at 9to5Mac, relaying Mark Gurman's Bloomberg preview ahead of Apple's September 9 event. Primary SourceApple Vision Pro could soon have a whole new look — Zac Hall, 9to5Mac (Sept 5, 2025)https://9to5mac.com/2025/09/05/apple-vision-pro-2-space-black/  What the reporting says·       Apple has tested Space Black as a color option for the next Vision Pro.·       Expect a chip upgrade from M2 to a newer generation (M4 or possibly M5) to headline internal changes.·       External design shifts may be modest—think Apple Watch Ultra → Ultra 2—though a single head‑strap has also been rumored for comfort.·       Apple is exploring a cheaper/lighter headset and even smart glasses over the next two years (per Bloomberg's preview referenced by 9to5Mac). Why this matters·       Color as a visible “tell”: a Space Black finish could be the easiest way to spot the new model if most changes are internal.·       Performance bump: newer silicon should improve latency, video encode/decode, and multitasking headroom for spatial apps.·       Comfort cues: if Apple moves to a single strap, setup friction could drop and long-session stability could improve. What to watch for at/after Sept 9·       Any explicit mention of new Vision Pro colorways or retail images that show Space Black hardware.·       Release notes or developer guidance hinting at higher default rendering targets or new media pipelines tied to newer chips.·       Pricing moves: color alone won't move the $3,499 needle; look for hints about a lower-cost model later on. Quick takeaways·       If the look matters to you, waiting for official confirmation could make sense.·       If you prefer value, keep an eye on first‑gen promotions/refurbs once the refresh lands.·       Expect incremental hardware this round; bigger shifts may come with a lighter/cheaper model or eventual smart glasses.Follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher service Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: ThePodTalk.Net

Marty talks about a positive Wall Street Journal article about the AVP and business use Quick TakeThe Wall Street Journal reports that while the $3,499 Apple Vision Pro hasn't broken through broadly with consumers, it's quietly gaining traction in business—especially where high-fidelity visualization and training matter.Enterprise-first adoption: Unlike iPhone's consumer-led rise, Vision Pro is seeing company-led uptake across specific verticals.Why these niches: Best-in-class visuals, precise hand/eye UI, and adjustable immersion make spatial tasks (design, simulation, review) feel natural.Reality check: High price, comfort considerations, and a still-maturing app ecosystem limit mass consumer pull—so near-term momentum sits in pro workflows.Retail design: Lowe's uses Vision Pro to help customers and staff visualize kitchen designs at life-like scale.Aviation training: CAE employs spatial simulations to improve pilot training and decision practice.Industrial/product development: Dassault Systèmes integrates Vision Pro into engineering/design reviews with digital‑physical overlays.Faster decisions, fewer surprises: Seeing true-to-scale designs in context reduces back-and-forth and boosts stakeholder alignment.Training where stakes are high: Immersive rehearsal for rare or risky scenarios (flight, complex operations) improves readiness without real-world risk.Enterprise is the bridge: Business use may seed the apps and practices that eventually make Vision Pro mainstream.Total cost of ownership: $3,499 headset plus accessories, device management, and training time.Comfort & deployment at scale: Weight/battery tether and fleet management considerations.App depth: More native spatial apps are needed to replace iPad ports in pro workflows.If your work benefits from spatial context (design reviews, simulation, complex planning), Vision Pro is already delivering value.For general consumers, patience: enterprise adoption will likely drive app growth and hardware refinements that broaden appeal.WSJ — “Apple's Vision Pro Gaining Traction in Some Niches of Business”Link: https://www.wsj.com/articles/apples-vision-pro-gaining-traction-in-some-niches-of-business-16d3c74eJoin our live stream Mondays at 9 PM ET (search “Vision ProFiles” on YouTube), or catch the replay and audio on your favorite podcast app.Contact: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com · ThePodTalk.net

Marty talks about the recent list of best Apple Vision Pro apps of 2025  as suggested by PCMagazineThe Best Apple Vision Pro Apps for 2025https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-apple-vision-pro-appsWhat PCMag's list coversA spread across work/productivity, creativity & learning, entertainment, utilities, and games—with emphasis on apps that feel “native” in spatial computing. Work / ProductivityThings 3 (visionOS) — full task manager in floating windows; great with hand/eye input and multiple spaces. Zoom / Microsoft 365 / Box — core “office” stack is available on Vision Pro for meetings and docs (PCMag's earlier work-apps piece highlights these). Creativity & LearningNight Sky — astronomy in 3D space; spatial sky maps are a natural fit. Mindfulness (Apple) — breathing/reflect sessions as an ambient spatial experience; easy daily habit. Entertainment & MediaApple TV, Disney+, Prime Video, Crunchyroll — strongest “big screen” experiences today (some are iPad ports that still work well in an immersive theater). Note: Netflix still no app; use Safari as a fallback. YouTube native app is “on the roadmap.” GamesBlackbox (visionOS) — spatial puzzle design; Apple Design Award winner in Spatial Computing. Synth Riders — rhythm/fitness staple now on Vision Pro; good demo of full-body interaction. What the Golf? — playful physics/perspective gags translate well to big space. How to use the listPrioritize native visionOS apps first—they support depth, passthrough, and richer windowing. Then fill gaps with iPad ports you already love. Mix 2–3 apps per category to learn the UX: one work app (e.g., Things or Microsoft 365), one entertainment app (Apple TV/Disney+), one game (Synth Riders/Blackbox), and one wellness/learning app (Mindfulness/Night Sky). Quick takeawaysStart with one from each category to learn the platform's strengths.Prefer native visionOS versions for wow-factor and ergonomics.Expect a hybrid workflow until missing streaming apps arrive.Follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher serviceEmail: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: ThePodTalk.Net

Marty talks about the flood of stories on the potential release of the Samsung VR headset for sale in Korea in mid-OctoberProNotes: Samsung's VR Headset Tipped To Cost Nearly $2k, Still Less Than The Apple Vision Prohttps://www.tomsguide.com/computing/vr-ar/samsungs-vr-headset-tipped-to-cost-nearly-usd2k-still-less-than-the-apple-vision-proQuick hits Price (rumor): About $1.8k–$2.9k.Timing (rumor): Fall launch in Korea first, small initial batch.Target buyer: Early adopters and developers—not a mass-market play.How it stacks upVersus Vision Pro: Cheaper at the low end, but still a premium device.Versus Meta Quest: Much pricier than Quest 3/3S, so different audience.What seems real vs. still unknownMore solid: Price range and Korea-first launch talk (multiple reports echo it).Unknowns: Exact specs (displays, chip, battery), comfort/weight, passthrough quality, and whether it uses only hand/eye tracking or adds controllers.Software: Likely Android-based with Google's services, but we don't know day-one apps.Why Vision Pro owners should careMore competition, more apps: Another premium headset gives app makers a reason to build more mixed-reality apps, often across platforms. That can benefit Vision Pro too.Price pressure: If Samsung lands closer to $1.8k–$2.0k, it sets a new “high-end but not Apple-priced” option. If it's nearer $2.9k, Apple's price gap stays big.Use case reality check: Everyone still treats headsets as “session devices” (an hour or two), not all-day wear. That aligns with how most people use Vision Pro today.Fast watch-listComfort & passthrough: Does video passthrough look natural and feel low-latency?Input: Eye/hand only, or optional controllers?Battery: External pack or built-in? Real-world session length?Apps at launch: Any must-have media or productivity that moves the needle?Rollout: How quickly does it ship outside Korea?

Marty talks about a new precision fit patent filed for Apple Vision ProProNotesA Future Version of Apple's Vision Pro may provide users with a Precision Fit through Dynamic Adjustment Mechanismshttps://www.patentlyapple.com/2025/08/a-future-version-of-apples-vision-pro-may-provide-users-with-a-precision-fit-through-dynamic-adjustment-mechanisms.html The gist: Apple just had a patent spotlighted that's all about a “precision fit” Vision Pro—hardware that dynamically adjusts (think buttons/levers/dials, possibly motor-assist) to match each person's head and face. What Apple's aiming to fix: Current headsets (including today's Vision Pro) rely on manual straps and swapping cushions—fine, but fiddly—and comfort can drift during longer sessions. Apple's patent pushes toward auto-tuning hardware that gets you into the sweet spot faster and keeps you there. How it might work :- Dynamic supports: A headset frame that actively redistributes pressure so you don't get forehead/cheek hot spots. - Smart light seal concepts: Related Apple filings describe air bladders/valves that balance pressure across face zones—tight where you need it, forgiving where you don't. - Guided fit is the point: All of this is about landing your eyes in the optical “sweet spot” quickly and repeatably—clearer picture, less strain. (IPD alignment = sharper visuals is a known VR truth.) Why users should care:Comfort goes up, face marks go down. Longer, easier sessions. Faster hand-off: Family or teammates can throw it on and get tuned quickly—less strap fussing. More consistent clarity: Staying centered improves text and UI readability and reduces fatigue. Why this could advantage Apple vs. competitors:- Closed-loop fit (hardware + software): If Apple marries sensors, adjustable seals, and on-device guidance, you get a set-and-forget fit most rivals can't match with manual strap/IPD dials. - Perceived quality without new screens: Better, repeatable alignment makes the whole system feel sharper and more premium—no panel change required. - On-boarding win: Less tinkering = more people actually enjoying the demo, which matters for adoption. Where we are today: Vision Pro already uses swappable Light Seals/cushions and bands to improve fit; the patent path suggests Apple wants to automate more of that. Caveat: Patents ≠ products. Timelines aren't promised, but Apple's recent filings draw a clear line: comfort and precision fit are priority areas for the next wave of Vision hardware. Bottom line: If Apple ships even part of this self-tuning fit stack, Vision Pro could feel lighter, clearer, and friendlier to share—a practical edge that's hard for manual-only headsets to match.Follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher serviceMacStockMacstockconferenceandexpo.com Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: ThePodTalk.Net

Eric, Dave, and Marty speak about the new VisionOS 26 developer beta, talk about a potential YouTube app, and review Gurman's AVP/Meta comparison. NEWS this week Beta 8 came out today:https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos-release-notes/visionos-26-release-notes What's new from beta 7 → beta 8Release/build only: Beta 8 arrived Aug 25, 2025 as 23M5332a (beta 7 was Aug 18 as 23M5328a). Apple doesn't list any additional new features, APIs, or headline-level changes for beta 8 beyond the build bump. Tooling: The latest posted tools are still Xcode 26 beta 6 (17A5305f) from Aug 18; no newer Xcode dropped alongside beta 8. Practical takeFor users: Treat beta 8 as a stability/bug-fix pass—no Apple-documented user-facing additions over beta 7. For developers: Re-run regressions on areas you touched for beta 7 (e.g., CompositorServices hover/immersion behavior, ARKit Accessory Tracking, RealityKit popover/presentation components, RemoteImmersiveSpace stability, StoreKit's new promo-offer APIs). Those were the substantive changes in beta 7 and remain the focus with beta 8.

Marty speaks about a recent post by Gurman reflecting on the the success of Vision Pro and the challenge of Meta glassesMarc Gurman of Bloomberg in his Power On column voices his opinion on Vision Pro (Reddit repost)https://www.reddit.com/r/augmentedreality/comments/1mz4zp2/mark_gurman_qa_on_apples_smart_glasses_and_the/Apple smart glasses—will they hit?Meta's wins today = design, audio, and on-face cameras; Apple could outdo at least audio + cameras given AirPods/iPhone investments.Apple's industrial design should be “nice enough” to wear, even if not as fashion-forward as Ray-Ban/Oakley collabs.Killer edge: deep iPhone integration (which Apple doesn't allow Meta to match).Bottom line: features likely to trounce Meta's—price becomes the swing factor.Is Vision Pro a success?Publicly, Apple could claim “yes” (breakthrough tech; best-in-class immersive video playback).Privately, top leaders would likely say “no”: soft sales, weak usage momentum, and a thin third-party app/content story.Verdict from the Q&A: commercial failure so far—the biggest flop of the Tim Cook era.Why this still mattersIf the work seeds successful AR glasses—or a cheaper, lighter “Vision” that takes off—the investment may pay off.

Marty discusses changes and additions in the newly released mVisionOS26 developer beta 7Today's Pronote: visionOS 26 Beta 7 Release Noteshttps://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos-release-notes/visionos-26-release-notesIf you were hoping for shiny new features… this one's about polish, not pop.For Vision Pro users, beta 7 doesn't add anything you'll immediately notice. Your day-to-day feels like beta 6. The same small quirks are still listed in the notes— occasional rough edges with Mac Virtual Display, and a few Safari oddities. Bottom line: if you're just looking to use the headset, this build is about stability, not new toys.No Jupiter environment and No curved panoramic Virtual displaysFor developers, there is one new callout: Apple flags a Memory Tools known issue where leak detectors can falsely report leaks in some Swift/Objective-C bridged cases. Translation: if your leak graph suddenly lights up after updating, take a breath—it might be the tools, not your app. Otherwise, the dev sections largely mirror beta 6—ARKIt, Metal, RemoteImmersiveSpace, StoreKit/SwiftUI—steady as she goes.Users: install if you want polish; don't expect features.Devs: keep testing, but treat new “leaks” with suspicion and focus on regression passes.What's new for Vision Pro usersNo newly announced features or UI changes.Experience should feel the same as beta 6.A few small quirks still listed (e.g., occasional Mac Virtual Display edge artifacts; some Safari behavior).Practical tip: If you were happy on beta 6, beta 7 is safe for polish; don't install just to chase features.What's new for developersMemory Tools: Possible false leak positives after updating—validate before refactoring.Most framework notes (ARKit, Metal, RemoteImmersiveSpace, StoreKit/SwiftUI) are effectively unchanged from beta 6.Good week for regression testing and performance measurements rather than API exploration.Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com. Website: ThePodTalk.Net

Marty speaks about a newly filed patent for Vision Pro eye-monitoring that is pretty remarkable for future AVP versionsToday's ProNote: Apple Patent introduces Eye-Monitoring feature for a future version of Vision Pro that will Enhance a user's Comfort & Awarenesshttps://www.patentlyapple.com/2025/08/apple-patent-introduces-eye-monitoring-feature-for-a-future-version-of-vision-pro-that-will-enhance-a-users-comfort-awar.htmlAn Apple Patent unveils a Cutting-Edge Gaze Tracking System using Optical Coherence Technology for Vision Pro & Future Smartglasseshttps://www.patentlyapple.com/2025/08/an-apple-patent-unveils-a-cutting-edge-gaze-tracking-system-using-optical-coherence-technology-for-vision-pro-future-smartg.html Apple's New Vision Pro Eye‑Monitoring Patent – What It Means for Everyday UsersWhat the patent says:Apple is working on a future Vision Pro that can watch your eyes while you're wearing it.The headset will use tiny cameras or sensors inside the glasses to track how long and where you look at things (e.g., “glance duration,” “focus distance”).It also plans to automatically adjust the display brightness, color temperature, and other visual settings based on your eye comfort.How it works in plain English:While you're looking around a virtual world, the headset silently notes if you squint, blink often, or stare too long at bright spots.If it detects signs of eye strain, it will dim the screen, shift colors to cooler tones, or give subtle prompts (like “Take a break”) without interrupting your experience.Why this matters for users:Less eye fatigue – The headset adapts to keep your eyes from getting tired after long sessions.Personalized comfort – Settings that fit how you naturally look at things, so the visuals feel more natural and less “artificial.”Health‑aware design – Apple is putting eye health into the core of its VR hardware, not just adding a cool feature.Email us at ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com.Website: ThePodTalk.Net 

Marty introduces new information about a potential new battery integration in future Vision Pro headsetsToday's ProNote: Patent for a new battery integrationApple Reinvents Battery Design for Vision Pro Headset to Improve Efficiencyhttps://www.macobserver.com/news/apple-reinvents-battery-design-for-vision-pro-headset-to-improve-efficiency/ Apple has patented a new battery integration method for its Vision Pro headset, aiming to improve both power efficiency and portability.• The innovation embeds batteries directly into the headset's structural guide rails, which adjust the optical modules. This design boosts battery capacity without increasing the device's size or weight.• By turning hollow guide rails into battery housings, Apple eliminates the need for separate battery casings. This streamlines the internal layout, reduces complexity, lowers weight, and enhances packaging efficiency.• The guide rails still allow smooth interpupillary distance adjustments, maintaining functionality while providing energy storage.• The rails use composite materials for thermal resistance and mechanical strength, supporting both durability and reliable battery performance.• This embedded battery system can work alongside a main power source: it allows the headset to run in low-power modes, provides backup power during reboots, and helps retain memory functions when unplugged.• Each guide rail connects directly to the logic board, and configurations can range from one to four rails—enabling flexible and modular power management for future headset models.• The design is adaptable for different uses, supporting variations in battery number and placement based on specific product requirements.• Apple's approach addresses the main challenge for XR headsets—balancing high power demands with lightweight, comfortable form factors—potentially setting a new industry direction for more ergonomic and portable devices.• This advance could be a major step towards solving the persistent problems of power limits and bulkiness in augmented and virtual reality headsets, without sacrificing user comfort or key features.Email us at ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com. Website: ThePodTalk.Net

Eric, Dave and Marty cover the new VisionOS developer beta 4, productivity and training use, and the best sailing experience you can get on land. What's New in VisionOS 26 Beta 4Build: 23M5300g – Released July 22, 2025 For Vision Pro Users: What You'll Notice in Beta 4• Smoother System Performance – General UI responsiveness is noticeably better—less jitter, quicker animation timing, and improved hand gesture accuracy.• Refined Visual Transitions – Window edges and movement feel more polished. Think glassy transitions with fewer graphical hiccups when opening or resizing apps.• Persistent Layouts – Apps, windows, or objects that you position in your environment now remember where you put them—even after a reboot.• More Natural Gaze Feedback – Interactive elements now subtly highlight when you look at them—menus glow or lift slightly when your gaze hovers, giving you a stronger sense of “touch” with your eyes.For Developers: What's New Under the HoodPersistence API – “Place it once, keep it always”What It Does:Lets developers anchor app content (like windows or widgets) to real-world surfaces that stay in place even after Vision Pro restarts.Compositor Updates – “Visuals That Adapt to You”• Hover Effects with Eye Tracking – As users gaze at buttons or menus, they now subtly highlight. • Dynamic Render Quality – Developers can adjust rendering sharpness or smoothness in real-time, based on user activity. Text and UI stay crisp when you need it. • Better Eye-Tracked Rendering (Foveation) – Vision Pro can now prioritize rendering quality at the center of your gaze, reducing quality around the edges. —————————————————————Apple has Filed for a series of Trademarks covering the Vision Pro Demo Fit App, macOS Tahoe, EnergyKit, 31 Mystery Designs and morehttps://www.patentlyapple.com/2025/07/apple-has-filed-for-a-series-of-trademarks-covering-the-vision-pro-demo-fit-app-macos-tahoe-energykit-31-mystery-designs-a.htmlWhy Apple's Vision Pro Could Redefine Game Mechanics on iOShttps://vocal.media/01/why-apple-s-vision-pro-could-redefine-game-mechanics-on-i-os The Best Apple Vision Pro Alternative You Can Actually Affordhttps://www.oliur.com/the-best-apple-vision-pro-alternative-you-can-actually-afford Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive test footage for Apple Vision Prohttps://www.fxguide.com/quicktakes/first-look-blackmagic-ursa-cine-immersive-test-footage-for-apple-vision-pro/ How to shut down and restart Apple Vision Prohttps://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-shut-down-restart-apple-vision-pro/ Digital Twin on Apple Vision Prohttps://www.reddit.com/r/augmentedreality/comments/1m7yl74/digital_twin_on_apple_vision_pro/How Apple Vision Pro Can Give Your Business an Unfair Advantagehttps://forasoft.medium.com/how-apple-vision-pro-can-give-your-business-an-unfair-advantage-f8d800018310 Top Streaming Apps Optimized for visionOS: Elevate Your Apple Vision Pro ExperienceTop Streaming Apps Optimized For VisionOS: Elevate Your Apple Vision Pro Experience - AppleMagazine Mushroom Garden an immersive edutainment experience for children on Apple Vision Pro!https://www.xrom.in/post/mushroom-garden-an-immersive-edutainment-experience-for-children-on-apple-vision-pro https://apps.apple.com/us/app/eduturf-mushroom-garden/id6747197371Digital Twin on Apple Vision Prohttps://www.reddit.com/r/augmentedreality/comments/1m7yl74/digital_twin_on_apple_vision_pro/ APPS SailGP RaceScape XRhttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/sailgp-racescape-xr/id6742781005 SailGP Launches First-Ever XR Experience in Sailing: RaceScape XR for Apple Vision Prohttps://www.sportsvideo.org/2025/07/28/sailgp-launches-first-ever-xr-experience-in-sailing-racescape-xr-for-apple-vision-pro/ MacStockMacstockconferenceandexpo.com  Digital Pass https://macstockconferenceandexpo.com/product/macstock-ix-digital-pass/Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com Website: ThePodTalk.Net
