Learning, sharing, and teaching visionOS development at Step Into Vision
https://stepinto.vision
The next Shared Visions workshop is coming up next week. Oliver will lead a discussion on app structure, navigation, and data flow. We’ll review the concepts we’ve been working on over the past few weeks.

We can use onVolumeViewpointChange have our content adapt to the users current viewpoint around a Volume.

Reality Composer Pro lives in a tense intersection given its users' wildly different technical backgrounds and expectations. Many have expressed frustration, especially about the obscure and silent errors. To better understand the difficulties and decisions that produced RCP, I'm creating a clone of it: https://elkraneo.com/deconstructing-reality-composer-pro-intro/
@michaelrowe01 🙌 600 club!
Who else got this email in 2024? I think about 600 devs and companies were there with native apps on day one.
Apple Vision Pro was released two years ago today! I was there on day one with an app and I've been building ever since.
Later today, the Step Into Vision community is hosting an event to look back at the last two years and to consider the path ahead.

@ellenich like I said, a common problem to solve! Hope this is helpful. I have a few other examples in this category too. Let me know if I can help you with your scene transitions in anyway
A simple solution to one of the most common issues I see in visionOS apps: Swapping between a window and an immersive space.
✨ Observable + ScenePhase ✨
✅ Launch with a window
✅ Enter a space, close the window
✅ Exit the space, reopen the window
Understanding these simple concepts will unlock a lot features for managing windows and space.

When using progressive immersion, our apps can respond to changes when the user turns the Digital Crown. In this example we scale the number of snow particles by the immersion level. Full immersion gets the most snow.

When used on a Window or Volume persistentSystemOverlays asks visionOS to show or hide the window controls. When used in an immersive space, this same modifier asks visionOS to show or hide the system hand menu.

In this example we cover three ways we can use default window placement when opening a new window. We can use the size of the new window to ensure that it doesn't overlap an existing one. This is particularly important if your new window has ornaments.

📢 AVP Animation Exporter Pro is a new Blender addon for exporting skeletal animations to USDZ format, optimized for Apple Vision Pro and Reality Composer Pro. Mike Bundy shares his thinking on the project in this article.

We can use the upperLimbVisibility scene modifier to ask the system to show or hide hands and arms while immersed. It works in full or progressive spaces.

In this example we use a small window as a loading indicator and launch pad from one immersive space to another.
✅ Start in space A
✅ Open a loading window, close the space A
✅ Loading window to keeps the app focused while loading space B
