Apple Vision Pro Environments: How to Turn Them Off

Apr. 29, 2024

When I first started using the Apple Vision Pro, I was blown away by the different Environments that it featured. These environments take the immersion to a whole new level, and teleport you to stunning virtual spaces. However, if your Environment level is maxed out, you will find yourself being unaware of your surroundings, bumping into different objects or even people in the real world. So, if you are new to the Vision Pro experience and don’t know how to toggle off this setting or adjust it to the point that you can see things around you, this guide’s got you covered. So, without any further ado, let’s take a look at how to easily turn off Environments on your Apple Vision Pro.

There are two ways to turn off Environments on Vision Pro and I’ve explained both below.

Turn off Vision Pro Environment Using Digital Crown

The first and easiest way to adjust your Apple Vision Pro’s Environment is by using the physicalDigital Crownbutton. You will find this button on the top right side of the headset. Just like the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch, you can rotate this clockwise or counterclockwise. Doing so will adjust the Environment level of your Vision Pro. Turn itcounterclockwise all the wayto turn off the Environment completely.

Another way to do it is by summoning Siri and commanding her to turn off environments. However, to do so, you will first need to set up voice control on your Vision Pro. Here’s the step-by-step process:

To get rid of the Voice Control icon, simply say“Turn off Voice Control”. Then, a confirmation window will pop up where you will need to pinch theConfirmbutton.

A funny thing is that when I tried using Siri to turn the Environment back on for me, it didn’t understand the command. Moreover, Siri can’t adjust the Environment level, and can only turn it off for you.

If you ask me, using the Digital Crown button to adjust the Environment is the best way to go about this.

That brings us to the end of this guide. But, if you have any further questions or related queries, feel free to take to the comments down below.
