Vision Pro Designer & Developer Check In

My friends Oliver and Yuki, along with Tom Krikorian, have created two Vision Pro creator surveys. Tom has created his second survey for developers. Previously he collected data a year ago. Oliver and Yuki have made a survey for designers and UX folks.
​
It's been two years since the Apple Vision Pro was announced at WWDC23. Let's take a look at the state of development for this amazing platform. After taking the survey(s) you can sign up to receive the results.

The deadline for entering is May 25, 2025.

They built the app with TableTopKit and I've been playing it throughout it's development. The video version of the interview is on Youtube. The audio version is waiting in production.

Apple Immersive Video apps

The macOS & visionOS apps allow you to review spatial video on your Mac as well as your Vision Pro. Generally these videos are 3D videos recorded in 8K resolution, with a 180-degree field of view and Spatial Audio. Run the app on your Vision Pros and Mac and you can organize and review the videos on either.

From Apple: "Apple Immersive Video Utility for macOS allows you to import, organize, package, and review Apple Immersive Video media on your Mac. Combined with Apple Immersive Video Utility for visionOS, you can connect and review Apple Immersive Video on Apple Vision Pro."

One More Thing... Spacial Gallery app

Have you tried the Apple's Spacial Gallery app? The app showcases some of the best 3D experiences; movies and photography. These are the best quality examples that I've seen. Lots of behind the scenes 3D photography of Apple TV shows, as well as featured 3D and immersive content available for the Vision Pro.

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.
