Apple unveiled a new persistent widget system for Vision Pro in visionOS 26, allowing users to anchor widgets against walls or flat surfaces for glanceable info.
The system supports existing widgets from other Apple platforms and offers new customization options such as different sizes, aspect ratios, and overlays.
Developers can choose between 'paper' and 'glass' overlay for widgets based on static or dynamic information to adjust to lighting conditions in the user's space.
Widgets on VisionOS 26 can be proximity-aware, offer a range of customization options for users, and are designed to feel like part of the user's physical environment with added realism.
