Unbounded

Unbounded is a mode in Apple Vision Pro in which the display area has no boundaries: the entire space is the domain of the app or scene; in this mode, the virtual space extends beyond the dimensions and boundaries of the real world, leaving the user free to use the entire space as in a traditional AR app.
