'Wicked' Use of Vision Pro

Director John M. Chu used Apple Vision Pro during post-production of the film Wicked. He used the device to watch scenes as if he was in a theatre. He could then communicate with his teams about his thoughts. He was also able to mark up the film with gestures with Evercast, so the production team would know where to make changes.

Watch him discuss the use of his Vision Pro on YouTube.

You can read about the use of the device on 9to5mac.

Step Into Vision With Joseph Simpson.

Before the holiday break, Joseph Simpson joined me on my podcast, More Than Just Code. We discussed learning visionOS, Joseph’s journey from FileMaker to working on XR applications. We also discussed working as a professional developer, working with various devices daily centred around the Apple Vision Pro.

You can listen to the podcast or watch episode 386 on YouTube.

A Couple of Great Apps To Consume Video

Sandwich Vision has launched Theater 2.0 which lets you experience curated videos and trailers in immersive theatres. I really enjoyed the planetarium theater as my favourite real-life IMAX theater, the Cinesphere is closed at the moment. Theater 2.0's planetarium is an identical experience. Check it out.

I also stumbled across the Supercut app for Netflix and Prime. I've been watching Netflix with the Safari browser. Prime is only available as an iPad app. The experience was dodgy. Supercut provides both Netflix and Prime in a native visionOS app. For me it was an insta-buy!

Find visionOS & XR Jobs At These Sites

I recently found out about a couple of job boards geared toward XR design and development. You can also post jobs on these sites. Finding a new job is still tough these days. YMMV.
