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

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...

We're making progress on the Shared Visions project. Last night we had a UX Workshop to nail down app and data structure. Catch the recording if you could not make it to the meeting. youtu.be/-7NL4Qw-D3Y

When used on a Window or Volume persistentSystemOverlays asks visionOS to show or hide the window controls. When used in an immersive space, this same modifier asks visionOS to show or hide the system hand menu. Here are two quick example:

Step Into Vision hosts two weekly meetings for the visionOS community. Our next meeting is tomorrow at 2 PM (Eastern US). Come join us! stepinto.vision/about-office...

We can use the upperLimbVisibility scene modifier to ask the system to show or hide hands and arms while immersed. It works in full or progressive spaces. stepinto.vision/example-code...

Updated: Can we use pushWindow with volumes? As of January 2026 and visionOS 26.2, we cannot use pushWindow with Volumes. stepinto.vision/example-code...

We can use the defaultWindowPlacement scene modifier with Volumes, but there are a few things to keep in mind. #visionOS #SwiftUI #AppleVisionPro stepinto.vision/example-code...

A year ago I set an ambitious goal: Publish on Step Into Vision every day of 2025. Today I reached that goal! It has been an enormous amount of work, but it has been worth every second. I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but I know there is a lot of work ahead. 2026 is going to be awesome!

RealityKit Basics: Loading Entities from Data We can load Entities from a block of Data, which we can retrieve remotely. stepinto.vision/example-code...

RealityKit Basics: Loading Entities on Device We can load entities from our app bundle if we're not working with Reality Composer Pro. stepinto.vision/example-code...

Spatial is a collection of types for working with 3D mathematical primitives. These types are loaded with methods to solve common 3D math problems. #SwiftUI #RealityKit #visionOS stepinto.vision/example-code...

RealityKit Basics: Using Convenience Entities When should we use Convenience Entities vs. Entity plus components. stepinto.vision/example-code...

Dive into the final Newsletter from Step Into Vision for 2025. stepinto.vision/articles/ste...

Starting in visionOS 26, we can observe changes on RealityKit entities. Let's observe an entity position and a value in a custom component. We can use the values directly in SwiftUI views or listen for changes and apply side effects. #visionOS #SwiftUI #RealityKit stepinto.vision/example-code...

SpatialEventGesture gives us a stream of events for all input happening in our scene. Coming up with a demo for a feature that can do just about anything was a bit tricky. We settled on a simple 3D movement gizmo. If you've used this we'd love to see your use case. stepinto.vision/example-code...
