There are several ways to interact with the Apple Vision Pro, and one of them includes bringing up a virtual keyboard, which has many use cases, and in some instances, it may also help with productivity. Unfortunately, while the AR headset is a standalone device with its own internal hardware, bringing up a virtual keyboard may not be as ideal as one wishes to envision.
The lack of haptic feedback from the virtual keyboard can hinder productivity, but there are other ways to interfact with the Apple Vision Pro
In its press release, Apple provided the following details surrounding the Vision Pro when talking about keyboard support. The company states that users will experience ‘limitless’ screen real estate when they attach the AR headset for the first time, but as far as a keyboard and mouse go, there will be some limitations.
“Engaging entertainment experiences: visionOS features a three-dimensional interface that frees apps from the boundaries of a display so they can appear side by side at any scale. Apple Vision Pro enables users to be even more productive, with infinite screen real estate, access to their favourite apps, and all-new ways to multitask. And with support for Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, users can set up the perfect workspace or bring the powerful capabilities of their Mac into Vision Pro wirelessly, creating an enormous, private, and portable 4K display with incredibly crisp text.”
According to MacRumors, the Apple Vision Pro’s interface resembles that of an iPad or iPhone, so users who have used these devices before should have no problem getting used to the UI. There is also a dictation option, which is a feature that is similar to what is running on both Android and iOS. Unfortunately, the lack of haptic feedback or the feeling of physically pressing a key may limit productivity, not to mention having the user’s arms extended at a certain height or angle can be a fatiguing experience.
Thankfully, the Apple Vision Pro allows you to connect an iPhone or a Bluetooth keyboard to get the job done, but the necessity of adding another device or accessory to experience that haptic feedback may not sit well with users, especially when they too run on battery power like the headset. We also do not know if the virtual keyboard shares the same layout as a MacBook keyboard since that would make things much easier. Then again, for a first-generation product, Apple had the foresight to bring these additions, and it also realizes that a ton of software work is required before the experience improves.
