Environments seem like a trick to avoid having your AR graphics look jittery in the real world since your eyes would be focusing away from the graphics constantly if you could see past them to the room you are in all the time. The environment gives those graphics something to anchor to while keeping your eyes from wondering around too much.
 
There is an app called Portal that this looks suspiciously…exactly like. Wonder if anyone else noticed that.
 
I'd like Endor! Given Apple's clear handshake with Disney, I suspect SW Worlds are coming soon.

Since Endor is a redwood forest in California I’m betting that’s coming. Apple is in love with California and they can finally take us there.

Maybe they’ll give us a ride in that drug fueled VW van Craig is always talking about.

An update to „Calm“, which can beam you to another place visually while it is rainy or cloudy outside would be kind of cool like instead of being stuck in German winter season, you could beam yourself to a beach in Hawaii!

Or Around You from Maps on Vision Pro (obviously the resolution most likely won’t allow it)
 
Can we invade peoples' environments, VR chat style? I wanna do the Bartman in front of your favourite Simpsons episode.
 
It would be fun if they added some more places in the solar system just for the sake of it, Mars, the surface of Venus or the clouds of Jupiter for example.

I misunderstood the photo that went with the article title and thought that the kitchen was one of the background views and thought 'hmm, that's not impressive'... :rolleyes:

No disrespect to whoever's kitchen it was!
 
Everyone on this thread is quickly getting to the same point: we may want customizable environments in the future. Maybe Apple should offer something new instead and make it easy for users to view their own high res 360 photos (or videos) in a separate app, just not as an environment.

How many of the environments will be sponsored by various companies? You know, every tree with a carving from Brand A, skywriting with Brand B, big Hollywood sign for Brand C? You know it will happen eventually. Then will come the expansion packs where you can add additional elements, each with their own branding. So you want a pet? It’s got markings for Brand D. That theater look the showed? Brands E and F show up around it. Etc.
