Apple's Vision Pro and visionOS were prominently featured at WWDC 2024, highlighting several key aspects for developers interested in spatial computing and immersive experiences.
-
Development with Vision Pro: Developers can connect their Vision Pro to a Mac for development purposes. This involves generating a six-digit number on the Vision Pro to pair with the Mac, allowing for inspection of DOM content, CSS rules, and JavaScript console for WebXR experiences. This setup is detailed in the session Optimize for the spatial web.
-
Spatial Computing Enhancements: VisionOS has introduced new features such as room anchors and object tracking APIs, which allow developers to create more interactive and immersive experiences by attaching virtual content to physical objects. This was discussed in the Platforms State of the Union.
-
Enterprise APIs for VisionOS: For enterprise applications, Vision Pro can be tuned for higher compute power by adjusting CPU and GPU settings, which is beneficial for tasks like rendering complex 3D designs. This is covered in the session Introducing enterprise APIs for visionOS.
-
WebXR and Immersive Web Experiences: Developers can build and test WebXR experiences for Vision Pro using simulators, even if they don't own the device. This is part of the session Build immersive web experiences with WebXR.
These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of the tools and capabilities available for developing on the Vision Pro platform, emphasizing the potential for creating innovative spatial computing applications.
