A week ago, along with its new iPhones, Apple released a new set of operating systems for all its devices, unifying its OS version numbers at 26. Particularly interesting to Alan and company was the “spatial scenes” capability that Apple added to visionOS 26 for the Vision Pro.
The Art Authority Museum was introduced the same day in 2024 that Apple shipped the Vision Pro. Since that time the Museum has invited patrons to “Step into the Future of Art” by providing an art experience that is both familiar and transcendent.
With spatial scenes, we can now invite people to “Step Further into the Future of Art.” Almost literally. For each piece in the museum (there are thousands), Vision Pro users can now magically lean into the scene portrayed by the painting and look around, “becoming not just immersed in the Museum, but in the art itself” as our announcement says.
The Art Authority blog post on our announcement has additional details on how you can join us in this present Future. Please do.
