Use Environments on Apple Vision Pro

Environments let you transform your physical surroundings into a different place—like Yosemite, Mount Hood, or the Moon. You can use Environments while you’re using apps like Mail, Safari, and more.

Some apps also have exclusive Environments that are available only when using the app, such as a Conference Room for rehearsing a Keynote presentation.

Tip: You can use Siri with Environments. For example, say, “Siri, take me to the Moon.” See Use Siri with Environments.

Choose an Environment

You might see and hear effects in Environments, like rain in Mount Hood. Some of these effects are only available if you don’t have apps open.
