How’s the comfort and the weight on those?

Looks cool! Are these custom particular emitters around the lamp?

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.

You can learn how I created it here:

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

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

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.

Read this book back in December and it really stuck with me. I used to code alone and never shared what I was working on. Since then, I’ve given a talk, joined communities, gone to meetups, and started posting my work. It’s made a huge difference.

@jimmydevworld.bsky.social and I may have just come up with the dumbest new app idea for visionOS 🤔

I like the spring/bounce on it!

The subtle gradient movement on the background is top class 👏🏼
