MeshInstancesComponent Stress Test in visionOS 26. Here I'm using MeshInstancesComponent with 160,000 instances to create a 4-iteration Menger Sponge / Sierpinski Cube. Since each cube is rather simple, I'm able to squeeze this many instances. in one RealityKit Entity.

not to rub salt in the wound, but visionOS 26 supports USB ethernet over the dev strap, unlike Quest

I left some visionOS 26 widgets in my Montréal hotel room. I Imagine them hanging out in a distant corner of my visionOS storage, hoping I go back to that hotel again so they can jump onto the walls.

If you're working on visionOS, you should definitely spend some time looking over the Petite Asteroids sample project from WWDC 2025. Useful concepts, code structure, ECS usage, etc. Bonus: Cute little rock friends developer.apple.com/documentatio...

Here’s my wild prediction*: one of the next few iPhones is going to be a Spatial Computing device. I think we will have modes where the phone adjusts for the cameras and your head position so the entire screen seems like it is just a window in space. * I’m always wrong predicting 

Biggest initial reactions to visionOS 26 so far.. - 90Hz hand tracking - in-person SharePlay experiences - saving your profile to iPhone (for reuse of visionOS devices) - Logitech Muse and PSVR controllers - Jupiter environment - Home Screen app folders - widgets - persistent widgets AND app windows
