Any beta testers for visionOS 26?

I am using it primarily with LogicPro. I do not have to stack all the plugins anymore, but can place all them around me.
Not a single issue - besides the fact, that you have to get used to that really huge screen 😆
I haven't ran into any problems running 26. The widget feature is pretty awesome. Now when I take off my AVP I still look toward the wall I put the clock on thinking its there in real life.. hmm augmented reality..
Just curious what you think of the Photos widget? The Apple video that shows it looks impressive! Hoping you can do multiple Photo widgets 🤓
Let's get it straight: I updated to "VisionOS26" and it runs. Everything. I take the advantage to provide some feedback as Beta Tester if i see something. But it just runs. It does not feel Beta at all here.
...waiting for the "Jupiter" environment. But I probably will not like to float around in space.
. I might return to BoraBora probably.
Installed it and tried out 7 apps and everything is working fine! Super smooth might be smoother than beta 1.
It's pretty cool to see pictures of me really big on the walls and such lol. Yeah, you can have multiple photos widgets all over the place! I am enjoying the weather and clock widgets more. It's nice to have that info up in a dedicated area in AR.
Probably, but I've never needed to go backwards. The betas are shockingly stable and always at least a step better than the thing before.
To be honest, there's no reason at this point for me to get the betas ... the stuff I was in the beta program for has long since been delivered. There's just been no downside to staying in 🤷♂️
Yes, you can downgrade, but you have to erase the device and set it up again. It is not difficult, I saw a how-to a couple of days ago - forgot where that was...
On Vision OS 26 beta 1 and 2, I'm having an issue where if I am using Mac Virtual Display and move my head to look at either side of the display (so still looking at the MVD), ill see the blue location indicator pop up for a second, and then the cursor on the MVD will disappear. It's very annoying. I remember this also happening with Vision OS 18, but not as often. Anyone else experiencing this and / or know a fix?
I have been having a good experience on the beta but just ran into an odd issue--my Apple/Beats bluetooth headphones work with the Vision Pro but my non-Apple ones will not connect. They work just fine on the beta software for my iPhone and iPad, just not the Vision Pro. Does anyone else have this issue and/or a workaround?Let's get it straight: I updated to "VisionOS26" and it runs. Everything.

Apparently you are registered as developer. It is ok to write about your experiences here, but Apple will not see it. Use the Feedback-App and report this issue. We are not searching for workarounds as this is a Beta. The he workaround is the final version released to everyone working as expeced.
Maybe you just have discovered, noone was aware about.
Sigh, seems like you cant downgrade from beta without purchasing a developer strap. Arghhh, I thought it would be like the iPhone, iPad, etc where you can simply downgrade from beta back to the latest official relase.
Did you finally get a Vision Pro?! I saw you were really debating it but never saw that you got one.
You can also take it into an Apple Store and they should do it for you.
Is this the same for anyone else? How’s beta 3? I really want to install it, but can’t afford to break anything
Just experienced the same with my Bose QuietComfort45 headphones. They were paired and worked fine before the beta 3, and continue to work on my iPhone and iPad also on beta 3. The headphones don’t even show up in the Bluetooth settings during pairing.
If anyone else was wondering the same… I installed it, still use it daily. Everything works fine (that I use), some bugs obviously, battery life is a bit reduced, but overall it is impressively stable for 3rd beta.
I do experience this from time to time, and it's irritating. No idea why it happens, or how to prevent it.
