Did you know you can add an ornament to an ornament in a window? stepinto.vision/labs/lab-073…

Did you know we can create custom ornament anchors? We can provide a UnitPoint with X and Y values to position an ornament anywhere around (or even over) a visionOS window. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-028…

Ornaments allow us to decorate our windows with information and controls. We can anchor them around a window, and adjust their alignment to suite the content. stepinto.vision/example-code…

This is how I ended my presentation at OhioXR. I focused on visionOS as a computing platform. It was a rapid-fire showcase of features, capabilities, and real-world use cases. My objective was to show people a glimpse of what's possible on this platform, to spark some ideas.

Apple ships a lot for developers, and it's easy to lose track. So I made Cupertino Tech to see it all in one place: cool icons, platforms, code samples, WWDC sessions and a timeline back to 2001. Spot something missing? Tell me and I'll add it. cupertino.tech

I'm working hard on my talk to showcase the features and capabilities visionOS. I get so focused on my projects. Taking a step back to survey everything really makes me realize just how incredible this platform is.
OhioXR 2026 is Ohio's first cross-industry XR conference. I'll be doing a session on visionOS development for anyone who is interested in learning about the Apple Vision Pro ecosystem. #OhioXR2026 ohioxr.com/

I created the most photorealistic scene generation pipeline available for native RealityKit Apple Vision Pro apps. I could keep it to myself, but I’m giving it away for free. RealityHD v5.0 is now available, with optimizations to be more token-efficient while generating ultra-realistic scenes. It also includes our latest medical related props and scenes, as seen in this video. I hope this enables the next generation of visionOS developers to build realistic simulations.

I brought AI generation to Blockworks on Apple Vision Pro. You can just say what you want to build and it’ll spawn in front of you. A quick demo of what that looks like.

iOS 27 adds concentricCornerRadii to GeometryProxy. It tells you the corner radius a view needs to match the curve of the screen corner.
