Apple’s newest visionOS 26.2 developer beta delivers small but meaningful upgrades — especially for creators, stylus users, and anyone following app optimization on Vision Pro.Primary Source: Apple Developer Documentation — https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos-release-notes/visionos-26_2-release-notesKey Details 1. Logitech Muse Stylus Support   - The Muse now communicates more consistently with VisionOS.   - Pressure and button readings are normalized — meaning drawing, writing, and sculpting feel smoother and more predictable across apps.2. App Performance Tracking Fixes   - Apple’s “Instruments” tool correctly reports Swift app performance again.   - Developers can spot memory leaks and sluggish code with better accuracy.3. Subscription Testing Enhancements   - Simulated renewals and re-joins for paid plans in Xcode work reliably.   - Known delay: subscription status changes may still take up to 24 hours to refresh.4. TV App SharePlay Limitation   - SharePlay for DRM-protected shows/movies temporarily unavailable.   - Apple has identified the issue and plans a future fix.Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: ThePodTalk.netYouTube: YouTube.com/@VisionProFiles

Marty talks about a new enterprise study that will use the AVP as a means for collecting EEG waves from people with neurological disorders, allowing them to communicate through the device.    “This Startup Wants to Put Its Brain-Computer Interface in the Apple Vision Pro” – Wiredhttps://www.wired.com/story/this-startup-wants-to-put-its-brain-computer-interface-in-the-apple-vision-pro/Key Points1. Who Cognixion is- A California-based startup focused on non-invasive BCIs (EEG-based), avoiding surgical implants.- Its mission is to enable communication for people with ALS, paralysis, and other conditions that limit speech.- Previously built the dedicated Axon-R headset, tested with ALS patients.2. Vision Pro Integration- Cognixion is preparing a clinical trial with ~10 participants using a Vision Pro modified with their custom EEG headband.- The system detects visual fixation and attention patterns so users can select items on-screen by focusing on them.- A neural-computing pack worn at the hip processes the brain-signal data.3. Role of AI- Cognixion uses per-user generative-AI models trained on the user’s prior communication to predict words or phrases.- In Axon-R trials, participants reached near-conversational communication speeds during multi-hour weekly sessions.4. Opportunities & ChallengesAdvantages:- Non-invasive → less risk, potentially faster adoption.- Leverages a mainstream headset (Vision Pro) and its spatial-computing ecosystem.- AI support can help overcome the low signal resolution of non-invasive EEG.Challenges:- EEG remains less precise than implanted BCIs, so decoding speed and reliability must improve.- The hardware still involves extra components (headband, hip pack) and must be ergonomic and socially acceptable.- Regulatory hurdles: moving from small clinical trial to FDA-approved assistive-tech product.We’ll revisit this topic in an upcoming Vision ProFiles episode with more expert insights and discussion.Remember to follow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST, or catch the recording later on YouTube, or subscribe to the audio version on your favorite podcast platform.Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comWebsite: ThePodTalk.NetYouTube: YouTube.com/@VisionProFiles

Marty speaks about three new Apple patents that reveal where Cupertino may be steering the AVP lineup·       Smartglasses with real-time optical adjustment·       A retractable Vision Pro power system for comfort·       A context-aware Apple Pencil with squeeze and grip for spatial inputWhat the Articles Say1. Smartglasses with adaptive opticsApple describes glasses that automatically tune their lenses to your eyes in real time—potentially eliminating the need for prescription inserts and enabling sharper, dynamic focus.2. Retractable power for Vision ProA cable management system allows the tethered Vision Pro battery cable to extend and retract with tension control—reducing drag and improving overall wearability.3. Apple Pencil with context-aware squeezeThe Pencil evolves from stylus to spatial controller, with grip and squeeze gestures triggering different commands, plus the possibility of off-screen and air-draw tracking for 3D interaction.Why It Matters·       Accessibility & comfort: Dynamic lens adjustment could make smartglasses more practical for a wider user base.·       Ergonomics: A retractable cable addresses one of Vision Pro’s biggest complaints—battery tether fatigue.·       Expanded input: Pencil’s new gestures position it as a versatile tool for both screen-based and spatial computing environments.TakeawaysIf realized, these patents suggest Apple is actively working to:·       Smooth out the Vision Pro’s ergonomics·       Build bridges toward lighter smartglasses·       Expand Pencil into a full-fledged controller for the spatial eraHow Apple Plans to Let their Future Smartglasses Adjust to Your Eyes in Real Timehttps://www.patentlyapple.com/2025/09/how-apple-plans-to-let-their-future-smartglasses-adjust-to-your-eyes-in-real-time.htmlApple Patent Enhances Wearability of Future Vision Pro with Retractable Power Systemhttps://www.patentlyapple.com/2025/09/apple-patent-enhances-wearability-of-future-vision-pro-with-retractable-power-system.htmlA New Apple Pencil Patent Introduces Context-Aware Squeeze and Grip Features that Support Spatial Computinghttps://www.patentlyapple.com/2025/09/a-new-apple-pencil-patent-introduces-context-aware-squeeze-and-grip-features-that-support-spatial-computing.htmlSubscribe & ContactJoin our live stream Mondays at 9 PM ET (search “Vision ProFiles” on YouTube), or catch the replay and audio on your favorite podcast app.Contact: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com · ThePodTalk.net

Apple Vision Pro rumored to leverage cutting-edge 2nm process with new R2 chiphttps://appleinsider.com/articles/25/09/18/apple-vision-pro-rumored-to-leverage-cutting-edge-2nm-process-with-new-r2-chipApple is reportedly preparing a new R2 co-processor for a future Vision Pro model, built on TSMC’s 2nm process. This would be a first for Apple’s headset line, positioning Vision Pro as a showcase for Apple’s most advanced silicon. The R2 chip is expected to deliver significant improvements in latency, thermal efficiency, and overall performance.Why it mattersPerformance leap: The R2’s move to 2nm could allow smoother passthrough, faster sensor fusion, and better hand/eye tracking stability.Battery & heat: Improved performance-per-watt means cooler operation and extended battery life—key factors for headset comfort.Ecosystem signal: Apple investing its most advanced chip process in Vision Pro underscores long-term commitment to spatial computing.Key detailsCurrent baseline: Vision Pro pairs an M2 for apps with an R1 for real-time sensor data. The R1 delivers ~12ms photon-to-photon latency.Next-gen rumor: R2 would supersede R1, likely debuting around 2026, with a 2nm fabrication node.What’s new for users & developersFor users: Potentially longer wear sessions with less heat and jitter, moving Vision Pro beyond demo use into all-day practicality.For developers: More compute headroom for richer apps, higher fidelity passthrough, and expanded spatial workflows.For the ecosystem: If Vision Pro becomes the platform where Apple debuts its most advanced silicon, refresh cycles may accelerate.Industry contextApple’s silicon play: Historically, Apple has reserved new process nodes for iPhone or Mac chips. Shifting that to Vision Pro signals strategic priority.Timeline watch: Analysts expect R2 to arrive in 2026 hardware, though specifics on product naming (Vision Pro 2 vs. refresh) remain unclear.The R2 chip could unlock comfort and practicality for extended wear, making Vision Pro more than a short-session device.ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comThePodTalk.NetYouTube.com/@VisionProFiles
