It has been a year since I got rid of my remaining Oculus / Meta devices. I wondered at the time if I would regret this decision, but I don't. These days I use Apple Vision Pro for work and creativity. I occasionally use my PS VR 2 for a bit of gaming or cardio.

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.

Sometimes we want to keep an existing window open, but hide it while presenting an immersive space. This is a bit of a hack, but it lets us restore the window in the original location when leaving the space.

Prototyped a little VisionOS game based on the previous RealityKit experiment.
I plan to juice it (or lose it) and release it on the App Store. Stay tuned!

I started the free trial for Whisper Flow. I've been using it for the last couple of hours on my Mac. So far, it is way better than the built in dictation.

We can specify supported volume viewpoints when using onVolumeViewpointChange. This example supports front, left, right, but not back.

I'm working on a few UX concepts to share with the Shared Visions team tomorrow. Here is one based on Lab 004 on Step Into Vision, which in turn is based on an example by Paul Hudson. Rotation and opacity are used here to deemphasize content outside of the center.

AI lets you ship faster than ever. But shipping fast isn't the goal—shipping something good is. The developers who stand out will be the ones who actually use their own apps.
