TableTopKit TL;DR

Cristian (without h) and Roxana Nagy are building a game app for Vision Pro using TableTopKit. I had a chance to play around with a few people on a spatial call, including Cristian last week.

TabletopKit was introduced this year at WWDC24 in a "lightweight" package of one session accompanied by a sample code project and the relative documentation.

You can read about Cristian's discoveries, observations and some thoughts on TableTopKit on his blog. He includes some "radars" that have been sent to Apple.

Preorder BlackMagic's $30K Apple Immersive Video Camera

Many of us have been speculating what camera Apple has been using for their immersive movies. Some of my professional photographers and movie maker friends recognized that they were made by BlackMagic. Apple revealed the camera at WWDC 24. Now you can preorder the BlackMagic URSA Cine Immersive cameras and combine it with DaVinci Resolve to create your own immersive videos, shooting in 8K at 90 fps.

Apple Immersive Adventure - Ice Dive

Apple dropped Episode 3: Ice Dive, in its Adventure series. These are the in-your-face experiences that show off the amazing spatial audio & video technology in the Vision Pro. In episode 1, you join a high-wire walker in the fiords, if you're not afraid of heights. That's part of the demo you'll see in the Apple Store Vision Pro demo. The second takes place on Paris roof tops as you join some parkour adventurers. Again some intense heights on display.
​
This time we join an ice diver in Iceland as he free-dives in an attempt to break the world record with a dive 180+ meters long. You can hold your breath for 3 minutes, right?

WWDC 2025 & visionOS 3.0 I don't know about you but I find the socials flooded with substance-less click-bait posts about future tech to be disingenuous. Unless you are new to developing in the Apple ecosphere (Welcome if you are new), you would know that Apple announces new tech and operating systems every year at WWDC. In the Before Time, Steve Jobs would announce new tech at the January MacWorld conference keynote, but starting around the iPhone 4 introduction on June 7, 2010, the WWDC...

Let's Vision 2025 Last week Let's Vision 2025 conference was held in Shanghai. I've been told there were well over 2,500 attendees. That's approaching WWDC numbers! Last year I was invited to be a speaker in Beijing, at what would be the first conference in the world based around the Vision Pro. This year's conference was expanded to other Apple technologies, and attendees saw talks some of the speakers I met in 2024, and this year added Paul Hudson and Ryan McLeod creator of the ADA winning...

Me wearing my first Vision Pro at the Rochester NY Apple Store One Year With Apple Vision Pro It's been just over a year for early adopters of the Apple Vision Pro. I think for the majority of users it's been an amazing change for how we work and consume media. The bandwagon jumpers all returned their devices after the 14 day cooling off period. Like any new device it has its detractors, but I think a lot of us realize that Apple positioned the device as a Pro purchase to introduce this...
