Microsoft is furthering its support for the Apple Vision Pro virtual reality headset. The company recently revealed the release of its note-taking application, OneNote, for the Vision Pro.
OneNote Integrates into Apple’s Vision Pro
According to Microsoft’s recent announcement, the OneNote app for the Apple Vision Pro virtual reality headset offers many of the same convenient features as the iPad version. These features include:
- Creating new notes, digital notebooks, or quickly jotting down ideas.
- Marking important notes with helpful tags like “Important” and “To-Do.”
- Securing your notes with a password and controlling who can access them when sharing.
- Syncing your notes to cloud storage services like OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, and SharePoint, allowing you to access your notes from anywhere.
- Collaborating by sharing your ideas and notes with friends or colleagues.
The OneNote app can be used with the Vision Pro in two ways. You can use a traditional keyboard and mouse connected via Bluetooth or take advantage of the Vision Pro’s innovative hand gesture technology for a completely hands-free experience.
Microsoft intends to enhance the OneNote app for the headset with added functionalities in the coming updates, such as support for Copilot. Additionally, the company is developing two-factor authentication, aiming to integrate its Microsoft Authenticator app with the Vision Pro.
Currently, OneNote for Vision Pro is accessible solely for personal Microsoft accounts and work accounts not directly managed by an organization’s employees.
