Before you begin an immersive experience
Find out how to prepare a safe environment before you start an immersive experience with your Apple Vision Pro.
Prepare your environment
Make sure your space is clear of obstacles and hazards, you’ve minimised the risks of falls or collisions, and you’re aware of people, pets and children in your space while you use Apple Vision Pro.

Detect nearby obstacles while immersed
Apple Vision Pro may not detect all objects in your space, such as glass, mirrors and staircases, and can only detect objects at eye level. To increase the likelihood that objects in your surroundings will be detected:
Use Apple Vision Pro in a well-lit environment.
Do not run or make sudden movements while using Apple Vision Pro.
Avoid using Apple Vision Pro around moving objects, such as fans.
Apple Vision Pro has features that help you stay aware of your surroundings during fully immersive and partially immersive experiences. These features are always on and cannot be adjusted.
Fully immersive experiences
To help you be aware of your surroundings, Apple Vision Pro sets a boundary for fully immersive experiences automatically. As you approach the boundary, Apple Vision Pro will reveal your surroundings gradually.
If you move fully outside the boundary, Apple Vision Pro will reveal your space completely. If you return to the original position or re-centre your view, the experience will return to the previous immersion level.
Partially immersive experiences
In partially immersive experiences, Apple Vision Pro will reveal your surroundings gradually while you’re moving. You can continue to interact with the experience while this occurs. The experience will return to its original immersion level when you stop moving.
Always stay aware of your surroundings while moving in a partially immersive experience, as objects in your environment may be blocked by the experience.
If you’re approaching an object or moving too quickly – faster than a brisk walk – Apple Vision Pro will clear your view automatically to fully reveal your space.
