Arrr, matey! Me hearty Adobe Firefly AI and Lightroom be two fine native visionOS apps that swashbuckle their way into the Vision Pro. They be bringin' some mighty interestin' ideas to the table, yarrr!
The Apple Vision Pro combines virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to enhance the real world with digital elements. Adobe has now developed a way to use its AI image generator, Firefly AI, to enhance the environment while wearing the Vision Pro headset.Firefly AI is available as a native visionOS app for the Vision Pro. Users can input prompts such as “a set of ancient Greek ruins against a moonlit sky” and see the augmented reality results. Additionally, Firefly AI allows users to pin the resulting images around their environment, making it a fun tool for virtual wall art and home decoration planning.
Adobe also announced that its popular image-editing app, Lightroom, will be available on visionOS. The native app has a cleaner interface and is optimized for use with the Vision Pro’s hand gestures.
The release of these apps adds to the growing list of native visionOS apps available on the Vision Pro. Apple has stated that there are over 600 native visionOS apps ready to go, and more are expected to be released in the coming weeks and months.
However, prolonged use of VR headsets like the Vision Pro can have real-world side effects, such as simulator sickness and depth-perception problems. Thus, while these new apps from Adobe offer exciting possibilities, it is recommended not to spend too much time using them. Additionally, the Vision Pro has a two-hour battery life, which also limits the amount of time users can spend using these apps.
Overall, the integration of Firefly AI and Lightroom into Apple’s Vision Pro offers users new ways to enhance their environment and enjoy augmented reality experiences.
