Siri knows what you’re looking at and can respond accordingly.
Apple Although the Vision Pro doesn't seem to be a high priority for Apple these days, the company isn't abandoning the software for its $3,500 headset anytime soon — if for no other reason than that it will almost certainly run on the rumored Apple glasses. vision OS 27 aligns with the rest of the WWDC 2026 announcements, focusing on new AI features.
The new Gemini-powered Siri could be an interesting addition to the Vision Pro. The AI assistant can follow your gaze and use Visual Intelligence to answer questions about what you're looking at. You can even activate Siri by looking at its floating icon and speaking. (No need to say "Hey Siri," although that still works, too.) You can place the Siri icon anywhere in your physical environment.
