By activating, Your Mac's display is transferred directly to the Vision Pro and can be moved, positioned and managed just like any floating visionOS window.

It is possible to link other native visionOS apps to the Mac and get multi-screen viewing with multiple applications.

The integration of the Apple ecosystem then allows you to easily switch from macOS to visionOS and copy and paste content from one platform to another, as is already the case with iPhone, iPad and Mac via Continuity. Additionally, you can use your Mac's mouse, trackpad, and keyboard to interact with the viewer and, of course, work with your Mac.

The other limitation relates to resolution, although this still has to be related to the type of view built into the viewer. Definitely check out the Mac display on Vision Pro it is limited to 4K and it doesn't go to 5K or 6K like other Apple products, for example the Studio display or the Pro Display XDR.
