In some cases, we will put the Apple Vision Pro back on for a short period of time after taking it off, such as less than 1 minute, and want to keep it activte when we take it off so that it can continue to work seamlessly when we put it on again.

The current Apple Vision Pro turns off the display and goes to sleep whenever it is been taken off. This feature is also explained in the user guide, to save power, for safety, etc.

However, we want a seamless experience!

Is it possible to have a screen saver like macOS or iOS, where we can set our own delay time to go sleep?

Or is there any API that can be called to prevent going to sleep?

I’d like to be able to maintain an ultra wide screen sharing connection from my macOS desktop to my headset, and then have that connection remain in place if I remove my headset for 5 minutes to take care of something in-office. Unfortunately when I remove my headset even to run to grab a cup of coffee from the machine, the connection goes away, my computer reverts to its normal monitor setup, and all my application windows switch to new locations and sizes. I’m not concerned about security, this is in a locked office. I just want to have the option to maintain the screen sharing (sidecar?) connection for a decent period of time when I’ve temporarily removed the headset. Keeping the rest of its state and windows and apps in place might also be nice.
