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...

Do you want to talk about novel approaches to photorealistic view synthesis from a single image? Join us for Vision Office Hours EMEA tomorrow Wednesday at 11:00 CET. stepinto.vision/about-office... #AppleVisionPro #SpatialComputing #VisionOS #StepIntoVision

Shared Visions Project Here is a recap of our first two Story Workshops. We've also created a YouTube channel for the project in an effort to keep everyone up to date. stepinto.vision/articles/sha...

Lab 101 - Exploring Extrusion Methods We can use linear, tracePositions, and traceTransforms to when extruding meshes in RealityKit. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-101...

RealityKit Basics: Extruding Meshes We use data from a Swift Path to extrude a 3D Shape. stepinto.vision/example-code...

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

RealityKit Basics: Visual Bounds We can use visual bounds to get the center, extent, and other properties of a bounding box for a given entity. stepinto.vision/example-code...

Shared Visions Participants: We have our second Story Workshop this Thursday. See the Meetings channel in the Shared Visions Discord for details. stepinto.vision/event/shared...

We can open value-scoped windows in visionOS, in much the same way as macOS and iPadOS. Each combination of id and value results in a unique window. #SwiftUI #visionOS #AppleVisionPro stepinto.vision/example-code...

Step Into Newsletter for December 12, 2025 Examples about building Example Code, community updates, and taking photos for the yearbook. stepinto.vision/articles/ste...

The first article on Step Into Vision was posted weeks before the site went live. I kicked things off with a series of examples covering Windows, Volumes, and Spaces. This one was about openWindow and dismissWindow #visionOS #SwiftUI #AppleVisionPro stepinto.vision/example-code...

Spatial SwiftUI: onGeometryChange3D We can use this modifier to access data from GeometryProxy3D without using GeometryReader3D. In this example we can scale content based on volume size and capture the position of the volume in world space. stepinto.vision/example-code...

Something a little different today. I took some time to automate the process for adding new files to the Example Code project that I use on Step Into Vision. A script reads the headers of all Swift files in the Examples folder and builds the data for the UI. stepinto.vision/articles/scr...

Spatial SwiftUI: Preferred Surroundings Effect We can use three presets, colorMultiply, and intensity to tint the passthrough video feed. This modifier has a neat bonus feature when used with a system environment. #visionOS #SwiftUI stepinto.vision/example-code...

Shared Visions Update: Join us this week and next for two workshops as we collaborate on the Story and Theme for this project. stepinto.vision/articles/sha...

Step Into Newsletter for Dec 5, 2025. Catch up on the latest examples and labs, learn about our new team, and check out the community section. Make sure to stop by Office Hours to hear all about the visionOS workshops in NYC and Berlin. stepinto.vision/articles/ste...

I WON!!! 😍 Porta Nubi is Apple Vision Pro Game of the Year from the #AppStoreAwards! 🌟 This is so unbelievable 🥹 Winning an Apple award was a huge life goal of mine, and I cannot tell you how happy this makes me - thank you to the whole @AppStore team for this award!

We can drop GeometryReader3D and use onGeometryChange3D scale RealityView content based on the the size of a volume. #SwiftUI #RealityKit #visionOS stepinto.vision/example-code...

It's finally time to announce it: Tab To Tap is joining Studio Meije! Full announcement here: www.tabtotap.com/blog/tab-to-...

Starting in visionOS 26 we have a new modifier that controls frame and alignment for RealityView. realityViewSizingBehavior has options for flexible, centered, and fixed size. stepinto.vision/example-code...

When working with Image Presentation Component, we can read aspect ratio, image size, and the size of the presentation in our scene. #visionOS #RealityKit #SwiftUI stepinto.vision/example-code...

I’m excited to share that I’m joining the Step Into Vision Leadership Committee. 🎉 Stay tuned for some exciting new things coming up!

Please watch our announcement video to meet the team who will build the future of Step Into Vision. Joseph is thrilled to welcome our full team: Jimmy Balladares, Roxana Monica Nagy, Cristian Díaz, Paolo Villanueva and Michael Bundy #AppleVisionPro #visionOS #SwiftUI #RealityKit #SpatialComputing

We can pre or post-generate Spatial Scenes with Image Presentation Component. Take a look at the difference between these two approaches. #visionOS #RealityKit #SwiftUI stepinto.vision/example-code...

To follow up from the spatialOverlay example, we can also define custom alignment points using AlignmentID. This examples shows points on the front a volume, you can do this with depth inside the volume too! #visionOS #SwiftUI #RealityKit stepinto.vision/example-code...

I love building with Reality Composer Pro! "Orbiting Earth" environment with Sputnik 1. #visionOS #AppleVisionPro

This week we're working on example code for Image Presentation Component in RealityKit #RealityKit #SwiftUI #visionOS stepinto.vision/category/exa...

We can use Image Presentation Events to update our UI or environment when transitioning between viewing modes. Caveat: not all transitions fire the TransitionStarted event. #visionOS #SwiftUI #RealityKit stepinto.vision/example-code...

Let's take a quick look (haha) at the viewing modes with Image Presentation Component. Available modes depend on the type of image being presented. stepinto.vision/example-code...
