Spatial Personas Launching on Vision Pro Today

Today, Apple is launching spatial Personas to users of the Vision Pro. In short, this allows a caller’s Persona to break free of a singular box during a FaceTime call and puts them directly into the space of the person on the other end of the call.

This should give a much better sense of presence when on a call with another Vision Pro user, and allows people who are not in the same place to share content more easily and naturally, especially when using SharePlay.

Spatial Personas are rolling out to all users whose devices are running visionOS 1.1 or later, and requires a reboot for the feature to show up as an option while on a FaceTime call. You do not have to be running a visionOS beta to use spatial Personas, but as of this writing, it was not available to me on a test call. However, these images from Apple show what we can expect:
