New vision os

Apple introduced several new features and enhancements for visionOS at WWDC 2024. Here are some key highlights:

1. Spatial Computing Opportunities:

   • VisionOS provides incredible opportunities for creating spatial apps, leveraging the foundation of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. Developers can use familiar tools and frameworks like SwiftUI, RealityKit, and ARKit to build spatial computing apps (Platforms State of the Union).

2. Enhanced Scene Understanding:

   • VisionOS now allows developers to decide if the user's hands should appear in front of or behind the content. It also includes improved scene understanding capabilities, such as detecting planes in all orientations, room anchors, and a new object tracking API (Platforms State of the Union).

3. HealthKit Integration:

   • VisionOS supports immersive health experiences. For example, users can enter an immersive space to reflect on their feelings and save this data to HealthKit. The platform also supports guest user features to preserve data and privacy (Get started with HealthKit in visionOS).

4. Designing Great Apps:

   • VisionOS is designed with people at the center, ensuring comfortable interactions. Developers are encouraged to find their app's "key moment" optimized for visionOS, like the mindfulness app's breathing flower, which provides a unique spatial experience (Design great visionOS apps).

5. Game Development:

   • Developers can bring iOS or iPadOS games to visionOS by using the visionOS SDK. This includes rendering to a CMTL layer or directly to a relative texture, adding stereoscopy, head tracking, and VRR to optimize performance (Bring your iOS or iPadOS game to visionOS).

6. Enterprise Use Cases:

   • VisionOS 1.1 supports device and user enrollment for enterprise customers, making it easier to manage Vision Pro devices using familiar device management infrastructure (What’s new in device management).
