Apple has released the ultrawide virtual display for Vision Pro in beta, offering extra screen real-estate.
The ultrawide setting essentially gives users two 16:9 monitors side-by-side, but without the seam in the middle if they were using dual monitors.
However, MacOS window management is simply not ready to handle ultrawide monitors.
Users can use third-party window managers such as Rectangle,
that help to size and position screens in ultrawide monitors.
Vision Pro's virtual display feature has been transformed from something that's nice to have to an essential capability of the headset.
Apple is expected to revolutionize work setup when it has an equivalent headset that’s half the size and half the price of Vision Pro.
Vision Pro is too heavy for all-day use and it costs more than an ultrawide monitor itself.
The ultrawide option has many applications in terms of productivity work setup because it fits into a headset, and users can carry it anywhere they go.
Apple should have similar window-arranging capabilities that make sense for ultrawide monitors in the future.
