An excerpt from episode 1 of the new Step Into Vision Podcast. I take a moment to introduce Mike, Jimmy, and Paolo. I'm so grateful to be building with these three and to count them as friends. Get the full episode on Apple Podcasts

Just visited Joshua Tree and stood on the exact rock used for the Vision Pro environment scan 🌴
The rocks lined up perfectly
I genuinely couldn't tell where reality ended and visionOS began...
One of the most surreal experiences I've had 🤯
Apple absolutely nailed it. 🙌🏻
Want to add an echo to your immersive space? Adjusting the audio to match the environment is a power component which can make the user feel more immersed. Add it through Reality Composer Pro or via RealityKit ReverbComponent

I’ve just launched a small project called Spatial Moments.
It’s a place where I’m documenting experiments, ideas, and thoughts around spatial design and spatial computing.
Still very early, but excited to explore where this goes.

This is awesome!! Do you think it’s possible to provide a custom aspect ratio for the portal?
We can use .immersiveEnvironmentBehavior(.coexist) to allow our immersive spaces to blend in with system environments.
This demo serves as proof that I am not a serious person.

You know I live volumetric apps so I was glad when my friend @jaytwob.bsky.social launched Patito last week. Now I can do rubber ducky development whenever I'm in my headset.

This is a very underrated feature for visionOS! Check out the @stepinto.vision example code for the Scroll Input Behavior modifier. Very easy to include to your existing visionOS app

A little helpful tip: make sure to use the .usdz version of the animation resource when adding animations to the Animation Library Component
Something fun is coming for visionOS developers 👀
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.
When are you going to release the album?? We need the album 🤘
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
Time to show how the scan actually looks!
This is incredible!

Shaders for #AppleVisionPro
How’s the comfort and the weight on those?
Looks cool! Are these custom particular emitters around the lamp?
So cool! 🤯
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:

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
