I added a new open source app, LaserPointer, to ARKitVision (link in comments). This has a simple setup for tracking the Logitech Muse stylus, and uses the primary button to change laser beam colors.

Just did a demo of the Apple Vision Pro with M5. It was already an amazing device that I’ve been fortunate to work with daily since last February, and this is a really great upgrade. Text is crisper, load times are near instant, and the moon surface in Jupiter has really sharp details. 🥽

Apple Vision Pro Developer Strap (2nd Generation) just arrived.
Curiously, it has some more more metal near the connector on both sides, and is just a bit visible on the right.

Who(m)ever at Apple that made the Xcode 26 Theme preferences where I can just press ⌘-+ or ⌘-- to increase/decrease all of the font sizes at once, you deserve cookies. THANK YOU! I love this little convenience!! 🔨🧑💻

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?
