The Short Version
visionOS 27 adds eye-tracked Siri activation and Google Gemini AI, with a public beta arriving next month.
visionOS 27 gives Siri a floating 3D orb you can place anywhere in a room and activate just by looking at it, no voice command needed. The bigger reveal is under the hood: Apple built those next-generation AI features with Google's Gemini, not on its own. A public beta arrives next month. The update also converts flat panoramic photos into fully surrounding 3D environments by generating the sky, ground, and missing angles automatically. Apple reportedly paused Vision Pro hardware development, and the software list here is thin enough to believe it. The clearest sign this update is not really about the $3,500 headset: Apple is quietly preparing visionOS to run on rumored future glasses.
