Here’s How Safari Could Work On The Apple Vision Pro In A 3D Interface،

As the Apple Vision Pro nears launch, more information about the mixed reality headset is surfacing online. More recently, reports emerged of a recently issued patent in which the inventors imagined how the exterior screen could be used to show what the user was doing. It details how the screen can show different icons, such as weather, DO NOT DISTURB sign, Zoom icon for video conference, etc. Now, a tipster has divulged how the Safari browser could work on the headset.

This is what Safari could look like on visionOS

A user of X (formerly known as Twitter) recently uploaded two demo videos of Apple's Safari web browser, running on the company's mixed reality headset, Vision Pro. In the video, the headset's operating system, visionOS, was shown to run Safari tabs in three-dimensional space.

When users navigate through Vision Pro, they can arrange the tabs in the form of a plus sign in front of them. For example, they might have a window with three tabs in front of them. However, at any time, if users want to open a tab separately, they should be able to drag and drop it to the right or left of the current window. Then they can see the contents of both windows by panning their head.

Users can change where and how a tab appears

The video also shows how users can change the shape of a tab depending on the content they are viewing and arrange tabs above or below the central tab. So instead of the two-dimensional vertical stacking on typical computers or smartphones, users can interact with web browser tabs in a three-dimensional configuration using Apple's Vision Pro.

In the demo video, we can also see Vision Pro's ability to visualize three-dimensional objects in a 360-degree view. Additionally, users can also resize the object to get a better view. That said, the headset will debut as early as early next month. A recent report claimed that the device is expected to ship to Apple stores in the United States by this month and be available for purchase in February 2024.
