Also, can you share the use case? What’s the goal of the intermediate “selected” state?

While I can’t think of an easy, performant way to do exactly this, putting a little platform under the entity could be an option. Or maybe add a spotlight aimed at the entity.

I’m wondering if there’s a more real-world way to show that your thing is “selected”, like a tag? A sticky note?

Step Into Newsletter – July 11, 2025 A week of Spatial SwiftUI examples and some curated items for your weekend reading list.

Hey visionOS developers 👋 Need some weekend reading?

My newsletter has a lot of great stuff from the community, as well as 5 articles on new spatial features in SwiftUI.

ICYMI, the U.S. Constitution gives lawmakers the power “to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations.”

I wonder if it developed sugar bloom in the fridge, or possibly absorbed odors from other foods? Like chocolate, I sometimes lose my temper in the cold. 🍫

Bring your SceneKit project to RealityKit - WWDC25 - Videos - Apple Developer Understand SceneKit deprecation and explore how to transition your 3D projects to RealityKit, Apple's recommended high-level 3D engine...

Just the other day I noticed that some parts of RealityKit API are identical to SceneKit; and realized this deprecation was likely coming. Good to see official word. There’s also this helpful video from WWDC 2025 on migrating.

There have been only 10 release versions of visionOS, and as you know, it took 14 years to bring the Calculator app to iPadOS. I’d advise patience. In the meantime, perhaps this native Calculator from early 2000 Mac OS X 10.0 Developer Preview 3 will give everyone some hope.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

“If someone says something, we’re blaming the CSS, OK?”

Wow! Thanks for the follow up with a real solution! Will file this away for when Spatial TikTok makes us all crop to vertical in 2029. 😜

I’m going to try it in Final Cut Pro and see if it crops.

I haven’t tried this, but my first attempt would be to

• send it to an iPhone
• find it in Photos and open it
• choose Edit, then Crop
• tap Crop again if needed to get to aspect ratios
• choose vertical & 9:16

Hopefully it will save the new crop without losing spatial.

One of my projects got delayed so I'm free in June & July for visionOS projects!

Don't hesitate to send me a DM!

This mania to manufacture more in the US is really just insulting US labor, suggesting that all they are good for is tightening screws into an iphone case. The pivot in developed countries to services like education, product design, health care, tourism, etc. has generated huge prosperity.

I literally have 100 visionOS app ideas I want to make. I have 60 app ideas for other platforms I want to make.

Focus is definitely my struggle for which to really move forward.
