Apple's WWDC 2024 featured several sessions related to augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), often referred to collectively as XR. Here are some highlights:

  1. Build immersive web experiences with WebXR: This session introduced WebXR, a web standard developed by the W3C Immersive Web Working Group, which enables immersive experiences on the web. It supports virtual reality in Safari on VisionOS 2.0, allowing developers to create VR experiences that can be accessed directly through a web browser. Discover WebXR

  2. Bring your iOS or iPadOS game to visionOS: This session demonstrated how to adapt iOS or iPadOS games for VisionOS, enhancing them with features like stereoscopy and head tracking to create more immersive experiences. It also covered rendering technologies available on VisionOS, such as RealityKit and Metal. Render on visionOS

  3. Dive deep into volumes and immersive spaces: This session explored the use of 3D content in volumes and immersive spaces on VisionOS. It highlighted how these scene types can be used to create unique and exciting experiences, leveraging the spatial capabilities of Apple Vision Pro. Volumes

These sessions collectively showcase Apple's commitment to advancing XR technologies and providing developers with the tools to create immersive experiences across their platforms.
