Apple gave developers the second beta of visionOS 27, arriving just two weeks after the first public test. The update installs through Settings → Software Updates by opting into Beta Updates, mirroring Apple’s usual rollout method. Early access now lets teams experiment with new APIs ahead of the consumer launch.

visionOS 27 adds a Siri AI that works like ChatGPT, letting the headset answer questions about anything the wearer looks at. A floating Siri orb can be placed anywhere in the virtual space. Panorama photos become immersive environments, and a new Icelandic Thórsmörk scene showcases glaciers and northern lights. Web Environment support enables 360‑degree Safari spaces, while app windows curve for deeper immersion, Control Center is reorganized, a smaller widget size appears, and notifications expand automatically when viewed.

For developers, the beta opens a window to craft richer mixed‑reality experiences that lean on on‑device AI. Apple’s push for tighter Siri integration signals a shift toward conversational interaction as a core input method on Vision Pro. Feedback from this cycle will shape the final consumer version slated for later this year soon.
