Thanks for reply! That was also my result, the detection seems could only bump up to 2 momentarily and then falls back to 1. Just wonder is there any other api or framework that could be used for multiple that I missed.

Working with ARKit & imageTrackingProvider on visionOS, anyone knows how many images could be tracked at the same time? From my own test seems only 1 image at a time to detect, & maximumNumberOfTrackedImages not available for visionOS? Any idea to track multi images simultaneously?

Saw this interesting Reddit discussion on VisionPro vs Meta Rayban Display just released yesterday. Below is the link.
What do you think on these 2 products? 🤔

Same here! I collected many magnets from travel and just always want to do something with them, like recalling my travel memory!

We can use AlignmentID to customize the alignment of a view within a spatialOverlay.

It comes and goes. So there is no reason to self-blame or narcissism. Just focus on the flow of creation, focus on now, let go of ego or any other unrelated worries, be the pen to write talent/ genius out, fully devoted. It’s a freeing shift from ego to process. More flow, less force.

It's that quiet pressure to show our talent through work, but true focus on ourselves, not the work. She mentioned the TED talk from Elizabeth Gilbert, where mentioned a belief that "genius" is a separate, fairy-like divine entity that works through a person, and we’re just the vessel of “genius”.

Clare Puffinwalker @puffinwalker.bsky.social · Jul 10

I was talking with a friend about how to keep a peaceful mind when creative work gets frustrating. I thought the problem was the setback, but she helped me see it differently.

The real struggle is EGO.

Thanks! Basically it was from my trip in Xinjiang, CHN. But the area varies, from the Ili area to Pamirs & Turpan area.
