UHF X11: X11 Built for VisionOS and Apple Vision Pro
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
UHF X11 turns Apple Vision Pro into a spatial X11 display server.
UHF X11 is an X11 server for visionOS that opens each X11 top-level as its own visionOS window. It accepts connections from external machines over TCP, renders X framebuffer content at native resolution with nearest-neighbor scaling, and offers CRT scanlines, phosphor masks, glow, and vignette presets. It generates MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authority cookies, includes experimental indirect GLX rendering, and supports custom bitmap font packs.
What commenters are saying
Commenters praised the project's creativity, with several noting its retro aesthetic. Some expressed disinterest in buying an AVP due to cost, weight, motion sickness, or ecosystem lock-in. Alternatives mentioned include WayVR for Linux headsets and the upcoming Steam Frame. A subthread discussed xeyes: one commenter noted apps lack gaze-position access for privacy, while another said head position from WorldTrackingProvider suffices. One commenter suspected X11 will outlive visionOS.
