Displaying HDMI sources on Apple Vision Pro

While it's possible to stream most content to Apple Vision Pro directly over the internet, having the ability to use Apple Vision Pro as an HDMI display can still be useful.

Since Apple Vision Pro does not support connecting to an HDMI input directly or using an HDMI capture card, we have to be a little creative to make this work. NDI provides the ability to stream HDMI content over a local network with really low latency, and it works great with Apple Vision Pro.

This page shows the setup I’m using.

Cloud Gaming is a great way to enjoy graphically demanding games on Apple Vision Pro.

Since Safari on visionOS does not support PWA mode, here is how you can access cloud gaming services on Apple Vision Pro.

What’s needed

• A compatible game controller

class attrdict(dict): 
    __getattr__ = dict.__getitem__
    __setattr__ = dict.__setitem__

NetFS = attrdict()
# Can cheat and provide 'None' for the identifier, it'll just use frameworkPath instead
# scan_classes=False means only add the contents of this Framework
NetFS_bundle = objc.initFrameworkWrapper('NetFS', frameworkIdentifier=None, frameworkPath=objc.pathForFramework('NetFS.framework'), globals=NetFS, scan_classes=False)
