Another Cozy WWDC - visionOS

This past Wednesday, developers from around the world joined Apple in-person and online for a day of visonOS talks. Apple's own Vision Pro evangelists gave presentations on designing for Vision Pro, best practices and some really cool examples which are on the App Store already. They also had chat running all day as they took questions for attendees. They closed the event with a live Q&A with the audience both in-house and online.

No Spoilers, since Apple is hosting Envision the future: Build great apps for visionOS in the upcoming weeks around the world. They covered using SwiftUI with RealityView, and expanded on their Reality Composer Pro examples from June's WWDC videos. It was on-fire!

They've also shared a visionOS Discord server.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Engines... Oh Wait!

The coolest app you missed this week was the F1 Lapz app for Vision Pro. You may have seen a prototype video when the Vision Pro was announced. It promised to show live metadata as racers went around the 3D track in your living room. The F1 iPad app had that type of information and you can see realtime data if you watch the live broadcast. Unfortunately, the TestFlight has been taken down, due to some copyright or branding issues apparently. You can read about that is this 9to5.com article.

Experience Vision - Paris 2025

Experience Vision is coming up on February 6, 2025. The developers behind Lapz will be there.
