Siri’s glowing ball gets a permanent spot in Apple’s Vision Pro

The newest software update for Apple’s Vision Pro headset gives Siri a makeover. Instead of just hearing a voice, users will now see a floating, glowing orb that reacts to their gaze. The orb lights up surfaces around it, making it look like a tiny sun in your workspace. This isn’t just about looks. The orb acts as a hands-free helper. When you focus on it, you can ask questions or give commands without typing or tapping. It’s like having a pocket assistant that stays visible all the time. The question is: does this make technology feel more human or just add another glowing distraction?Some might argue that a floating ball is unnecessary. Why not just use voice commands without extra visuals? But Apple’s design choice suggests that people want their tech to feel alive. The orb isn’t just functional—it’s meant to blend into your environment, almost like a futuristic desk lamp. Still, not everyone will love it. Some users might find the glowing ball annoying or distracting. Others could see it as a clever way to make AI interactions feel less robotic. Time will tell if this feature sticks around or fades away.
