Introduction

On June 8, 2025, Apple revealed Vision Pro 2, the second-generation mixed reality headset, now streamlined for professional use. With upgraded dual 5K displays, an M4 AR chip, and localized AI, it targets engineering, design, and executive collaboration workflows.

“Vision Pro 2 enables meetings where your CAD model, data dashboard, and colleagues are all visible in 3D space,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.¹

A standout feature is “CoPresence Rooms,” virtual workspaces that persist across sessions, with embedded AI agents that summarize notes, assist with planning, and track action items. The headset promises to reduce meeting time and enhance project clarity.

Why it matters now

• Enterprise AR is maturing beyond the prototype phase.
• Apple differentiates via security, performance, and native app integration.
• On-device AI enables real-time insights without risking data privacy.

Call-out: Vision Pro 2 turns your desk into a 3D decision cockpit

Beta customers in aerospace and biotech industries reported a 42% drop in design-review cycles using Vision Pro 2’s collaborative spaces.

Business implications

• Engineers and designers can co-develop models in a shared, 3D workspace.
• Project managers benefit from real-time AI summaries and spatial to-do lists.
• Executives can explore financial data or logistics flows in immersive dashboards.

An updated SwiftXR SDK and new enterprise APIs will be available for shipping in September, along with Vision Pro 2. Partners like Accenture and Siemens are already working on vertical solutions.

Looking ahead

Apple is developing lightweight AR glasses and plans to release a “Reality Cloud” for syncing holographic content across devices. Biometric security and private environment toggles are in testing.

Gartner predicts that by 2029, 50% of enterprise collaboration will involve spatial computing, up from the current 8%.

The upshot: Vision Pro 2 shifts AR from novelty to necessity, setting the stage for a workplace where decisions aren’t just made, but are also augmented.
