Read the introduction to the prequel for Step Into Vision. In the first post about Canvatorium Visio, I shared an early project setup that I'm still using today for Example Code and Labs. It has changes a lot over time, but the seed of the idea started here. vrhermit.com/2023/12/10/c...

🏅 INDIE FAIR SPOTLIGHT 🏅 🎶 @paolopv.bsky.social surrounds the Fair in song! 🥽 Enter inside a spatial choral performance on Apple Vision Pro, with Filipino and Filipino American voices brought to life through Immersive Video and Spatial Audio. ⬇️ www.laloensemble.com/laloimmersive

It's Global Accessibility Awareness Day! 🌎 I spent the last 3 months making Porta Nubi on Apple Vision Pro more accessible: 🎮 Full input remapping 🦴 Alternative pinch joint detection 👁️ Full eye-control support Accessibility makes apps better for everyone 🚀 Coming soon!

This will be my 5th time during WWDC week, and the first four taught me a lot. So till the Keynote, I will be posting articles for the main event and the community ones around it, especially for first-timers. Follow along!

Imagine watching Google I/O all in one shot instead of in 37 different YouTube videos over the course of the next six weeks. Freakin weirdos.

Congratulations to the 2026 Apple Design Award finalists! So many incredible apps and games this year! developer.apple.com/design/awards/

We’re bringing Xogot, our styled version of Godot, to macOS. Xogot for Mac brings a native Mac experience, Xcode-inspired project navigation, and easier deployment to Mac, iPhone, iPad, and the iOS Simulator without the usual friction. The beta is open today: blog.xogot.com/xogot-on-mac/

Issue 25 of diff visionOS is out! I rant about the Vision Pro death rumours, discuss MVTube, Spatialapse, Kickstarter, Step Into Vision at WWDC, Apple 50 years, Elevated NYC, Device Tracker on VisionOS, Blue Frog Immersive, Swift Rockies 2026, and more. it-guy-technologies.kit.com/posts/issue-...

Now On Vision 2.0.0 is finally live! If it's not available for you, give it some extra time ;)

Congratulations and gratitude to @jaytwob.bsky.social for publishing his first Lab on Step Into Vision

I like weekends because they offer me a chance to get some rest. I dislike weekends because they remind me how tired I am.

There are only a few days left to compete the visionOS Professional Survey from Tom & Oliver. form.typeform.com/to/hrCenK4n

Did you know I published 43 visionOS labs on my personal blog before starting Step Into Vision? SwiftUI + RealityKit was new to me so I needed a place to tinker and learn. I always learn more when I share my work so I posted these along the way. vrhermit.com/canvatorium-...

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who don't understand quaternions and liars.

Step Into Newsletter -- May 15, 2026 Eight new Labs, revisiting RealityKit Basics, new podcast episodes, and updates from the community. We also celebrate our 500th post on Step Into Vision. stepinto.vision/articles/ste...

Guess who just hit publish on the 500th post on Step Into Vision 🙋‍♂️ stepinto.vision

Lab 110 - Curved Display Surface In Lab 109we created a curved surface to render portal materials. We made this lab to document those curved surfaces. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-110...

Standing in the Droplet scene, with fragments of Vapor and Mist rendering on curved portal meshes. From Lab 109 on Step Into Vision

Check out the WWDC26 Wish List from John Haney ᯅ for a good idea of how visionOS could improve. johnhaney.com/blog/wwdc26-...

You can learn a lot more about using MeshDescriptor by exploring the RealityMoreShape repo github.com/XanderXu/Rea...

RealityKit Basics: Extruding Meshes Take a Swift Path object and extrude it into a 3D mesh. stepinto.vision/example-code...

This was a fun example to make. TIL I learned that MeshDescriptor has a per-face option for materials developer.apple.com/documentatio...

RealityKit Basics: We can generate 3D text from an attributed string and some configuration options. stepinto.vision/example-code...

I can't believe it's less than a month until WWDC. This will be my first time attending so I'm pretty excited. The Step Into Vision community will be there in numbers! Check out our events and bookmark this page for updates. stepinto.vision/articles/ste...

May is the "I have a meeting at 10:30" of months.

Honoured to be recognised by Apple in this way, especially alongside so many of my friends from around the globe. #apple #spatialcomputing #applevisionpro #visionos #community developer.apple.com/community/re...

Really grateful to Apple for featuring me on the Apple Developer website among other amazing developers, community leaders and creators from around the world. What a great motivation to keep writing and sharing! developer.apple.com/community/re...

Check out Lab 109 where we layer two scenes on top of another using portals rendered on curved meshes created with MeshDescriptor stepinto.vision/labs/lab-109...

Let's revisit the RealityKit Basics series, starting with simple shapes created via ModelEntity stepinto.vision/example-code...

Apple created a new way to recognize community members and leaders from across the development world. I'm fortunate to be among the first cohort and I'm in really good company! So many familiar faces, including a few friends from the visionOS community. developer.apple.com/community/re...

Just got a face! You like? Can't wait to see this in VR. Maybe turn all lines into conveyor belts, or race tracks to play inside of?

In Lab 108 we cycle through the scenes created in Labs 105-107. This includes support for loading the content of the screen as a portal. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-108...

Would you join me for tea in Lab 107? stepinto.vision/labs/lab-107...

Updated Lab 105 to add a portal on the screen, which renders another scene. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-105...

WWDC 2023 through 2025 presented as a dreamy word cloud

Your occasional reminder that we have a library of over 70 resources that visionOS devs may find useful. stepinto.vision/category/res...

Step Into Computer?

Reminder we have some official Step Into Vision logo shirts. If you order now you might be able to get one before WWDC. cottonbureau.com/people/step-...

Having a little fun with some 3D scenes in RCP this week. More to come. Going to use these as the backdrop or an app idea

Lab 106 is another scene in a series of ideas I'm going to explore soon. stepinto.vision/example-code...

I'm using Lab 105 to build a basic scene that will be used for some other ideas later. I revisited some assets from another project a few years ago. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-105...

This satirical article from six years ago 🤣 "VR devs and headset makers cancel all projects after reading poorly written VR is Dead article" The more things change, the more things stay the same. Looks like the original site is gone, but Wayback Machine has it. web.archive.org/web/20260117...

Content warning: 3D graphic depictions of Ohio

This lab is setup for some ideas I want to explore soon. As we saw in Lab 040, the content of a portal and a parent scene can share the same coordinate space. As I move this orb around, we see two versions of the dome, but our perspective in both dome is the same. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-104...

Did you know Apple provides a variety of HLS stream examples for Apple Vision Pro? These have come in particularly handy for the Shared Visions project, as well as for our example code on Step Into Vision. developer.apple.com/streaming/ex...
