Hahahaha they ARE pretty fun to design for…
And if you can't make it to SXSW? We're running a FREE online and in-person event in Cupertino two weeks prior on 2/27, focused on designing interactive stories for Vision Pro. (Spoiler: @patrickmullen.bsky.social, Rose, and I will ALSO be speaking at this one!)

ALSO if you're planning to be at SXSW, I’d love to meet more folks in the community and chat about your interactive experiences, storytelling on Vision Pro, or design best practices. Hit me up!
SO excited about this session: @patrickmullen.bsky.social, Rose Thomas, and I will be @sxsw.com on March 11 at 10am CT to share some best practices for creating interactive stories on Apple Vision Pro!
Hope to see folks there 🎉

PSA to my friends in California near the fires: breathing in wildfire smoke is really bad for you (even if it’s not super thick where you are) but if you have face masks (N95, KN95, etc) those can help a lot

Really excited about this one. Are you a creative technologist, director, designer, 3D artist, or writer who makes interactive or immersive stories (or do you want to)?
You should apply for our event on February 27 in Cupertino. (Or check out the live stream!)

At some point, if all goes well, you stop taking pride in arcane knowledge about niche topics and you start taking pleasure in sharing your passion with as many people who are obviously interested as possible. Our time here to learn and live is brutally short. Don't keep gates. Hold them open. Wide.
All iMessage all the time. I love this feature so much!
Next time!
That’s a great question! I’ll ask him when I see him at the office tomorrow. :)

Such a nice li’l starter pack for folks in the Apple dev/design community who are migrating here!
It's a little echoey still in here but the vibes are pretty nice
A+ all around
HOW am I just finding out that Ryan Gosling recorded a spooky folk album in 2009… and it’s EXCELLENT?!
