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:

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...

Early XR prototype? The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan Van Eyck is probably the one of the first extended reality proof of concepts I saw. The truth is that an artists prowess was in depicting reality, before photography was invented. Still I was inspired by this artwork's attention to detail and trompe l'oeil ('fool the eye"). NVIDIA Adopts Vision Pro with it's Issac Groot AI Enabled Robots Unveiled at CES earlier this month, NVIDIA's keynote introduced several amazing new features, but Issac...
