Issue 6: diff visionOS


Moving In Stereo

A couple of interesting posts this week, the first up is from Gregory Wieber who posted a short video about visionOS 2.0's support for Pixar-invented subdivision surfaces that speed up rendering of 3D models -
Subdivision Surfaces on Apple Vision Pro. That lead me down the rabbit hole to this older video explaining the TL;DR. Subdivision Surfaces: Overview.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned StepInto.vision. A few days ago, a colleague was asking about passing values when opening windows in visionOS. I went back to the site and found that there are now more examples on opening Volumes and gestures. Definitely a site to keep an eye on.

Last weekend we lost Adam. He was super excited about the Vision Pro and was going to buy one. As we get ready to celebrate him soon, I was wondering about sharing some captures I had made with my own Vision Pro (and iPhone 16 Pro.) The short version is that I've made some progress on printing out viewable versions of the shots, while we wait for everyone to adopt spatial computing. Stay tuned for a post and maybe an app to do this work - so viewers can use a stereogram viewer or Google Cardboard, etc.

See you in the future!

Here are some of the best picks:

Black Friday Live! A friend of mine, Robin Senior, who works at Shopify sent me a link on Black Friday to watch on my Vision Pro. Loading the Shopify Live Globe web page in Safari, I saw an Enter VR button. Presented with a giant red lever, I pinched to lower the lever and was transported into a virtual ship orbiting the Earth. On the globe, sites around the world lit up and I could see the transactions arcing in yellow between seller and buyers. The console displays the sales and orders as...

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...

BlueSky Weeknd https://go.bsky.app/9kfduUc This past weekend many of us fell into the BlueSky rabbit hole. I joined BlueSky back in July 2023, and it kind of sat on my iPhone waiting for people to post. I'd occasionally remember to cross-post along with Twitter, Mastodon and Threads.

During the first Sunday, the flood gates opened when I previously had around 100 followers....
