This builds on two ideas we revisited this week. โ Use Push Window to hide the main window โ The Pushed window contains no content or window elemts The result is that we can restore the main window to the exact position and size it was.

Sometimes we want to keep an existing window, but show another window while presenting an immersive space. I like to use Push Window to show controls or info windows related to the space, then return to the main app window on exit.

When using gestures to transform entities, we often need to use the initial transform (before the gesture) in our calculations. Here is one approach to capture that value in a custom component when using Gesture Component in visionOS 26.
