Apple has revealed that the next edition of the Mac operating system is to be called macOS Ventura, and amongst many new or improved features, its notable additions include Stage Manager, which helps when coping with many open windows.<\/p>\n Announced at the WWDC 2022 keynote, the new macOS will be available in early beta form for developers shortly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As expected, the new macOS Ventura is a further refinement of the operating system instead of the wholesale change that was brought in with macOS Big Sur, or version 11, in 2020. Nonetheless, the new version is officially macOS 13.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n The existing Continuity Camera feature lets a Mac control an iPhone to scan documents. Now it’s being extended to let Mac use an iPhone as a webcam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “With the power of Continuity,” says Apple, “Mac can automatically recognize and use the camera on iPhone when it is nearby – without the need to wake or select it – and iPhone can even connect to Mac wirelessly for greater flexibility.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “Continuity Camera delivers innovative features to all Mac computers including Center Stage, Portrait mode, and the new Studio Light,” continues Apple, “an effect that beautifully illuminates a user’s face while dimming the background.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The new webcam feature is not just for bringing higher-resolution FaceTime images to Macs. “Continuity Camera [also] taps into the Ultra Wide camera on iPhone to enable Desk View, which simultaneously shows the user’s face and an overhead view of their desk. “<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n The new macOS Ventura adds Stage Manager, a way of handling multiple windows across many apps that are open at the same time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “With Stage Manager, you can focus on the app you’re using without the distractions,” said Craig Federighi. “[It] automatically arranges all my windows for me off to the side and puts the app I’m currently working with front and center. “<\/p>\n<\/div>\n When a user brings forward a second app, the first “gracefully moves over to the left” of the screen with other recent apps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
