In my 6 years at Apple the Vision Pro was the first thing I worked on that actually shipped to customers. Needless to say I’ve had a ton of fun reading through all the Vision Pro content around the internet the last few days. A thread of some personal favorites 🧵

Casey Neistat’s video was a fun watch but he definitely hits at least two placement bugs in the video that are my fault 😬

Working on @unitygames PolySpatial has been an amazing experience. I'm so proud of @vvuk @jonoforbes @mtschoen and the whole team for what we are able to accomplish!

Seeing this demo I worked on for Apple Vision Pro as a part of the Unity #WWDC talk was a very special moment! 😊

[Ben Bajarin @BenBajarin]

Apple Vision Pro resolution was the best I've ever experienced. It definitely nailed the promise of immersion we have all believed would come someday.

But the quality of the pass-through was next level. No latency, extremely high quality, and it will only get better.

[Paul Hudson @twostraws]

So, I tried Vision Pro, and no matter how good you think it is… it's better. Just astonishing immersion backed by mind-boggling audio fidelity, and the UI has been polished and polished until it's almost invisible. Zero friction; I was a confident user in minutes. #WWDC23

Wild to be able to share what I’ve been working on. Meet Vision Pro :)

I’ll be at Apple Park at the meet the teams event from 3-5pm. Stop by the augmented reality area and say hi!

[Thomas Finch @td_finch]

Incredibly proud of the work my team and I have put in to build visionOS and Vision Pro. Excited that this is finally public!
