Apple hosted three visionOS workshops in December: NYC, Berlin, and London. It just occurred to me that we had community members from Step Into Vision and the Shared Visions Project at all three events! If you're working with Apple Vision Pro, you'll run into us eventually.

The first article on Step Into Vision was posted weeks before the site went live. I kicked things off with a series of examples covering Windows, Volumes, and Spaces. This one was about openWindow and dismissWindow

Letters + Words 1.0 is now available for iPhone and iPad (and Mac and Apple Vision Pro).

This app helps you discover words from letters, and is designed to support any type of word game you might be playing.

RealityKit experiment #83
(code in the replies)

This example turns the Logitech Muse into a virtual laser pen for point-to-point measurements. The surface intersection point is determined by raycasting along the stylus' aim-origin vector against the scene reconstruction meshes

So cool! 🤯
Just an idea to use the BlurredBackground Shader Graph Node to create model "showcase spheres". These could be useful when creating model/asset pickers. They isolate the model from the rest of the scene, but still let users inspect them in detail.

Xcode allows you to simulate a visionOS SharePlay session which is extremely helpful when testing out different seating arrangements

Updated my app website with Apple’s new custom environment support for Safari on Vision Pro.

First iOS app has officially launched! What has helped me track my running shoe miles is available for everyone!

Yesterday was a huge milestone (pun intended). Completed a half marathon AND submitted my app for review. This time last year I don’t think I would have been able to build and ship an iOS app or run a half marathon. Both challenging in their own way but totally worth it

We're creating immersive documentary about the Apple Vision Pro community. We are currently gathering volunteers and collaborators who want to help on this project. Check out the trailer and learn how to get involved.

SharePlay apps on Apple Vision Pro are some of my favorite but I haven’t gotten a chance to dive deep into the feature. So this month I’m going to work on

- understanding SharePlay for visionOS
- implementing it
- developing an app that takes advantage of it

@tomkrikorian.com made sure to add this to my routine

This has been really useful and worth looking into!
When opening a new window on visionOS we can use defaultWindowPlacement to place it relative to an existing window. We can also use a special utility placement that is relative to the user.

Used Create ML and Object Tracking to recognize this AirPods Pro packaging.

Once detected, it launches an interactive model of the product so you can get a sense of the size and presence in your space.
