The AuraTap x Step Into Vision mixer is starting in 20 minutes stepinto.vision/event/step-i...

Coming up soon! Hope to see you there

Hey Everyone! We're doing something special today after Office Hours. At 3:30 PM (Eastern US) we'll head over to the AuraTap app for a Community Mixer Event. Let's show them how the Step Into Vision community shows up! Event Info: stepinto.vision/event/step-i...

Wasn't sure when this would happen, but glad to see Google has visionOS on their radar. apps.apple.com/us/app/youtu...

I’ll be speaking and leading a workshop on visionOS at Swift Rockies 2026 in July. Swift Rockies tickets are LIVE. With only 180 spots total, this is the most exclusive spatial computing event of the summer. swiftrockies.com/tim-visionos... #SwiftRockies #visionOS #SpatialComputing #iOSDev

It’s been a real roller coaster over here

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. apps.apple.com/us/app/patit...

Just open sourced the agent skills that enabled this demo at github.com/IvanCampos/a... ⚠️ WARNING: Skills have only been certified on MacOS (full access) running Codex. YMMV ⚠️

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. stepinto.vision/example-code...

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! #swiftui #realitykit #visionpro #spatialcomputing

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. Referral link if you want to try it out wisprflow.ai/r?JOSEPH2181

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

Another content for the Shared Visions UX workshop tomorrow. This one is a simple auto-advancing radial layout in a volume.

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. https://www.donnywals.com/the-importance-of-human-touch-in-ai-driven-development/

I participated in the national day of hubris known as Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. I had a Buckeye Breakfast Sundae with a doughnut and a cup of coffee. I need to lie down

Does anyone else have an irrational fear of SwiftData migrations?

The next Shared Visions workshop is coming up next week. Oliver will lead a discussion on app structure, navigation, and data flow. We’ll review the concepts we’ve been working on over the past few weeks. stepinto.vision/event/shared...

Won my first game jam this weekend together with two friends during Global Game Jam at the Gothenburg site 🎉 1/3

The mystery has been solved. Some kind people sent me some gifts. This super comfy hoodie is one of them

I had a great time with the community yesterday. I'm lucky to be surrounded by so many smart and creative people

I’m rating Mark Zuckerberg’s strategy in VR as two out of five stars, one star lost each for what happened to Echo Arena, Bigscreen and Facebook account linking. goodvr.substack.com/p/reviewing-...

Two years ago today, the Apple Vision Pro released and I have been using it nearly every day since. The visionOS platform keeps evolving and I’m excited to keep pushing the boundaries of spatial computing. In that time, I’ve been involved with shipping 5 public apps, and dozens of others. 🧵

Who else got this email in 2024? I think about 600 devs and companies were there with native apps on day one.

Apple Vision Pro was released two years ago today! I was there on day one with an app and I've been building ever since. Later today, the Step Into Vision community is hosting an event to look back at the last two years and to consider the path ahead. stepinto.vision/event/two-ye...

A fruit company in California sent me something via FedEx. They shipped it the day before the winter storm hit the US. It was projected to arrive last Monday but it took an extra week to reach Columbus. Still no idea what it is.

Reminder: the Step Into Vision community is hosting a special event to celebrate the two year anniversary of Apple Vision Pro. 🗓️ Tomorrow, Feb 2 at 2 PM EST 📺 This event will be recorded and published to YouTube stepinto.vision/event/two-ye...

Testing some new @nimbus.vision features out. Now you can place widgets in your environment that show top posts from your favorite feeds. Also added: - faster image conversion to spatial scenes - voice controlled search - feed sidebar to timeline view - chat view for sending messages

I'm working on some ideas for the main window in Shared Visions. For the first tab, what if everyone in the story has a circle? We could reveal their face on hover.

I'll be working on my prototype app for the next week or so. A lot of ideas have emerged from our recent works and I want test some ideas for blending them together.

I grow weary of this cold, but it pairs well with Mogwai

A simple solution to one of the most common issues I see in visionOS apps: Swapping between a window and an immersive space. ✨ Observable + ScenePhase ✨ ✅ Launch with a window ✅ Enter a space, close the window ✅ Exit the space, reopen the window stepinto.vision/example-code...
