Wouldn't it be useful if you could read text and QR codes written on paper while looking at the real world using Apple Vision Pro's pass-through? "ExternalVision" sends image from the iPhone camera to Apple Vision Pro and detects text and QR codes. The detection result is displayed on Apple Vision Pro, so you can copy it, share it, and open the URL in Safari. All image analysis is done by Apple Vision Pro, so no data is sent externally. **This app requires Apple Vision Pro and an iPhone or iPad.**
