[WWDC 22]macOS Ventura 8 key gaming Macs are here! – ezone.hk – Technology Focus – Computer

In Apple’s WWDC 22, in addition to the new M2 chip, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, Apple also updated macOS. The newly launched macOS Ventura provides a number of new functions, such as “front-end management”, “camera connection and interoperability”, etc., which are very useful. Metal 3’s new developer tools allow game developers to turn their Macs into “esports Macs.”

Spot 01. A new way of working between the “On-Screen Management” App and Windows

“Front Screen Management” can automatically organize the open apps and windows, the windows in use will be displayed in the middle, and the remaining open windows will be placed on the left, allowing users to switch quickly. Users can drag and drop the files that need to be loaded into the app from the Finder to the corresponding app in the left column; they can also group windows together for specific tasks or projects that require the use of different apps.

Spot 02. Use the “Connectivity” function between Apple devices

“Camera Connectivity” uses the iPhone as a web camera for the Mac, and the Mac can automatically identify and use the camera of a nearby iPhone XR or above without waking up or selecting the device. “Camera Connectivity” can use the centering of people, portrait mode, and new studio lighting: the user’s face will appear clear and transparent, and the background will be darkened, which is better than the built-in lens of the Mac. In addition, “Camera Connectivity” uses the iPhone’s ultra-wide-angle camera to bring the “Desk View” function, which can shoot the user’s face and shoot the desktop from a bird’s-eye view for making DIY videos, displaying sketches during FaceTime calls, and more.

Spot 03. FaceTime “take over”

FaceTime introduces a “handover” feature that allows users to start a FaceTime call on one Apple device and then smoothly switch to another nearby Apple device. When you’re on a FaceTime call on your iPhone or iPad, you can switch to your Mac to continue the call with a single tap, or start a call on your Mac and easily transfer the call to your iPhone or iPad when you’re on the go.

Spot 04. Safari Co-Browsing

The new version of Safari in macOS Ventura enables multiple users to co-browse: Through shared tab groups, friends, family and colleagues can share their favorite websites in Safari and see what tabs others are viewing in real time. Users can also create a series of bookmarks on the shared start page, and even start a “Messages” app conversation or FaceTime call directly from Safari, suitable for co-planning trips, conducting seminars or meetings, and more.

Spot 05. Safer Browser

Use passkeys to be more secure in Safari, replace passwords, and use Touch ID or Face ID for biometric authentication. Users can use passkeys across apps and the web, and even log in to websites or apps on non-Apple devices using their iPhone.

Spot 06. “Mail” app

The Mail app can detect missing attachments, duplicate recipients, and more. Users can set reminders in the “Mail” app to remind themselves to check a certain email on a specified date and time; and receive automatic follow-up suggestions to remind them to follow up on unanswered emails. It also has the function of recycling mails, if users find wrongly sent mails, they can retrieve them within 10 seconds.

Spot 07. Gaming Mac is coming

The Apple M1 series, as well as the new M2 chip, allow all Macs to play AAA games, including EA’s GRID Legends and Capcom’s Resident Evil Village. At the same time, because the iPad is also powered by Apple chips, game developers can bring their AAA games to more users, such as Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky, which will be released on Mac and iPad this year. The latest version of the software that drives the gaming experience on the Apple platform, Metal 3, unleashes the potential of Apple chips, even 4K Gaming in Mac Studio!

Spot 08. Stronger AI recognition

“Text as it is” uses the smart technology on the device to recognize the text in the image in the system, and now supports the text on the paused video screen, as well as Japanese and Korean text. Users are now more able to move the subject away from the image and drag and drop to another app. The recognition function of “Image Query” has also been extended to recognize animals, birds, insects, statues and more famous landmarks; auxiliary tools including any audio content can use the “Live Caption” function, and the “Type to Speak”, as well as the “Text Checker” tool that facilitates “Voiceover” users to proofread.
