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
Tap an Environment (like White Sands, Yosemite or Thórsmörk), or tap Seasons, then tap an option like Summer Light or Winter Light to subtly change the look of the room.
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.
Create an Environment from a panorama
You can create your own Environment from a panorama in your photo library.

Tap My Environments, then tap Add Environment.
Tap a suggested panorama, or tap All to see all your options, then tap the panorama you’d like to make into an Environment. It automatically becomes a spatial scene, giving it a lifelike sense of depth as you look around.
Environments you create are added to the My Environments folder. To delete an Environment you’ve created, pinch and hold the Environment, then tap
.
Change the appearance or volume of your Environment
You can choose a light or dark appearance for your Environment, or change the volume of the Environment sounds.
Note: These options don’t apply to the Seasons Environments or any panorama Environments you’ve created.
Open Control Centre, then adjust any of the following Environment controls:
Adjust the immersion: Pinch and drag the immersion slider.
Adjust the volume of Environment sounds: Pinch and drag the volume slider.
Set the appearance: Tap
to switch between Light and Dark.
You can set a default appearance for your Environments in the Settings app
. Tap Environments, tap Appearance, then choose Automatic, Light or Dark.

In Home View, tap Environments
in the tab bar, then tap Jupiter.
While in the Jupiter Environment, open Control Centre, tap Jupiter, then tap Explore Jupiter.
A window with more information about your view of Jupiter appears.
Do any of the following:
Change the time of day: Pinch and drag the slider, or tap a time of day at the bottom of the window.
Change the orbit speed around Jupiter: Tap
, then choose an orbit speed.
Tap Done.
Choose whether you want Environments to update automatically
Go to the Settings app
, then tap Environments.Turn Automatic Updates on or off.
You can also share an Environment during a FaceTime call. See Share an Environment.
