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

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.

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

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.

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. 🧵

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
