I recently tried Vision Pro at an Apple Store. I am guessing they don't use VisionOS 2 for store demos.

Vision Pro is spectacular. I definitely will be getting one.

Can VisionOS 2 place the virtual keyboard on the table if I am sitting at a table? A keyboard button press would coincide with touching the table surface.

The Vision goggles can see my hands, it could most likely see my fingers typing on a keyboard placed on the table. The "angle" would be like a keyboard on the table in-front of me. I look down and it's there.

The point is Vision Pro will also be a great mobile device and I don't want to carry around a keyboard and mouse. Use surfaces around me...horizontal, vertical, curved...Simply put on the goggles and everything I need appears.
On 2.0 using a Magic Keyboard, you will be able to see the whole keyboard even when immersed.
Hopefully other keyboards will be supported. I have a foldable keyboard, and would love to be able to see it while immersed.

Any advantages over current VisionOS 2.0 Beta?
This is the v1.3 beta. I made the mistake of thinking it was v2.0 and wondered why I couldn't update. I imagine v2.0 beta 3 is still way superior.

Does eye tracking and pinch gestures work on apps that are being mirrored to the avp from a Mac or can you only use the Bluetooth keyboard to control the mirrored apps?
Not at this time.
If you are using TeamViewer or VNC then yes.
