Apple previewed Spatial Personas (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/06/07/vision-pro-spatial-personas/) at WWDC last year. Unlike the existing Personas feature, which is confined to a tile and facial expressions only, Spatial Personas allow Vision Pro users to "break out of the familiar FaceTime (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/facetime/) tile and feel more present, like they are gathered in the same physical space." They feature a transparent background and are able to show body language and additional movement such as hand gestures for a more lifelike experience.



<div class="center-wrap"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I tried Spatial Persona on Apple Vision Pro yesterday. I watched a movie trailer with several other Personas in Apple TV, examined a 3D jet turbine in JigSpace, collaborated on a whiteboard in Freemform, and played Hearts in Game Room.

Spatial Personas are independent of a visionOS (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/visionos/) software update or beta, but require &zwnj;visionOS&zwnj; 1.1 or later. The feature is available during &zwnj;FaceTime&zwnj; calls and supports up to five participants at once. Inverse (https://www.inverse.com/tech/spatial-persona-apple-vision-pro) and Road to VR (https://www.roadtovr.com/apple-vision-pro-spatial-personas-hands-on/) today shared first impressions of the new feature.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: visionOS (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/visionos/)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: Apple Vision Pro (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/apple-vision-pro.209)</div>
