Zoom has launched a new application for Apple Vision Pro. The company asserts that the application would make virtual meetings more immersive by incorporating features from the participants’ physical surroundings into the conference experience. Beginning of February, anyone in the United States will be able to purchase the Apple Vision Pro, and on the same day, the new Zoom application will be made available for download from the App Store.
The company also published a post on Monday that offers detailed information about the software for the augmented reality and virtual reality headset, as well as the additional capabilities that would be accessible to users of the Vision Pro. A noteworthy element of the software is that it will make use of Apple’s Personas feature, which will enable participants to build a digital avatar for use during meetings.
Machine learning is used to reproduce real-time motions and facial expressions in these avatars, which are built automatically by the Apple Vision Pro with the use of machine learning. It will also contain a feature called the Spatial Zoom Experience in addition to that addition.
Features
The new application by zoom will be able to scale virtual meeting rooms to real-life size through the use of the Spatial Zoom Experience, which will give them the impression that they are sitting in the same room as their coworkers, friends, and family members. The company claims that the remote meetings will become more immersive and collaborative as a result of this functionality.
In addition to this, the video conferencing platform showed off three other features that will be accessible in the coming weeks and months. The first of them is called 3D Object Sharing, and it will enable users to share 3D models of a design with other people and allow them to view it from all different perspectives. Zoom provided an illustration by stating, “An animator or game designer could collaborate and share the most recent character model by utilizing Zoom’s 3D object sharing capabilities.”
It is also planned to incorporate Zoom Team Chat into the application throughout the first half of the year. Through the usage of the Team Chat function, users of Apple Vision Pro will have the ability to quickly connect with their teammates.
A real-world pinning feature will also be implemented, which will allow users to pin up to five people wherever in their actual environment. This feature will be added as a final addition. In addition, there will be a choice to remove the background of the participants, which will make them appear to be more immersed in the experience.
