Environments

• Siri make it light (set daytime environment, also works in fullscreen video)
• Siri make it dark (set nighttime environment)
• Siri hide environment (stop displaying your current environment)
• Siri show environment xyz (have to use environment name)
• Siri show environments (opens environment picker)

Video playback

• Siri Auto dimming on/off (changes auto dimming setting for video/photos without having to tap through everything)
• Siri subtitles on/off (same deal)

Apps

• Siri Open app xyz (while pointing head in any direction, opens app
• Siri close app xyz (close any app)
• Siri Screenshot (again useful for not having to touch the Vision Pro physically)

• Siri turn off device (shuts down device)
• Siri restart headset to reboot
• Look at a profile picture and ask Siri to call them (haven’t tried this yet)
