Creating new experiences for cutting edge AR and spatial computing devices isnโt yet a smooth path. Key is great Design/Creator/Developer relations. Listen to this great podcast with Snap's Joe Darko voicesofvr.com/1677-snaps-a...
Presenter on stage delivers a talk titled "Design immersive and interactive experiences" to an audience. The slide shows the speaker's name, identified as a Design Evangelist.
If you're a UX researcher or designer and interested in interactive immersive content for spatial computing (the next era of entertainment). You should watch this session by Serenity Caldwell (Design Evangelist, Apple). youtube.com/live/leGqoF8... #spatialcomputing #userexperience

A few visionOS 26 changes unlocked a ton of app ideas I had previous set aside.
๐งฉ Presentations in attachment greatly expand the possibilities for 2D/3D interfaces.
๐ Spatial Layouts open new ways to organize and present data.
๐ฅ Widgets and window snapping enable a level of UI persistence.

The only thing that makes the new widgets and pinned windows appear fake in visionOS 26 is the quality of the video feed. Low light and dim rooms make the perfectly rendered objects stand out as digital objects.
Can't wait for future Vision Pros to get more lifelike passthrough.

SharedDuck shows a floating duck on your Vision Pro. If you share it with a nearby user using the share button (opposite the close button underneath the space), they'll see it in exactly the same position in the room. You can both walk around it and treat it like it was a real object in the room.

Ok PSA for folks on the visionOS 26 beta:
It may take a while for your photo library to update. In the interim the storage may balloon.
It took a couple of restarts for me to finally see Photos offload its storage to iCloud.
But probably good to just give it some time!

Huge congrats to you and the team for running such a great event :-)
It's now possible to show entities outside of a volume's scene bounds in visionOS by adjusting the clipping margins.
These entities are non-interactive and only work with volumes, but theyโre still great for decorative effects. โ
One more global catch-up!
