I share practical visionOS example code, articles, labs, guides, newsletters, and community resources through @StepIntoVision, and host weekly.

Happy iPhone Duo launch day! To folks who are lucky enough to have this new device in their hands already, would love to see how Mahjong Space looks on it, especially the tile case opening sandbox experience!

That wasn't supposed to happen.

Please excuse my Scheidenfold. I'm a small and petty person and can't help myself

@tom_krikorian @studiomeije You’re definitely going to beat me to it but I’ll get there some day

At WWDC 2026 in June, Apple gave us a chance to share the story of the Step Into Vision community.

✅ Attending WWDC
✅ Speaking at an Apple Event
🔲 Next goal: Winning an Apple Design Award

I've already started work on the app that I hope will get me to the next goal.

This is your occasional reminder that the Step Into Vision community has two weekly Office Hours meetings.

Ornaments on Volumes work much like Ornaments on Windows. Volumes have three layers for anchors: front, center, and back.

Now On Vision 2.5.0 is out!

[Joseph Simpson @vrhermit]

Did you know you can add an ornament to an ornament in a window?

[Joseph Simpson @vrhermit]

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.

The new https://t.co/aoFvoIklL1 is live 🎬

A short film, a press kit, and one sunset played on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro.

Coming October 23: MVPlayer 3.2, made for iPhone Duo. Fold it like a laptop and your video glows on the controls below.

[Step Into Vision @stepintovision]

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.

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.

Finishing touches before officially releasing USD Stage on the App Store! Of course with proper shareplay support 😎
