Just observed morays in the aquarium. They were shy and sleepy until I started recording, then they became extremely active. Could they perceive the infrared spectrum? I set up an experiment to check the use of LiDAR on my iPhone. Maybe we need an "Aquarium Mode" for LiDAR-capable devices. #SpatialComputing #iOS #LiDAR 🐟

We’re chugging along with our MR first UI library. Here’s our built in implementation of hand matting!

A good spatial experience is gives a sense that virtual content is truly in the room. If you put your hand in front of an object and it appears behind it, it instantly breaks the illusion.

Hand matting is key to this. Our implementation isn’t perfect, but a little goes a long way!

Even if they walk it back, the Unity debacle is ultimately good for the XR community. Allowing a game engine to dominate the space has locked out developers who have no interest in game development.

Though the immersive electronic entertainment industry uses #VR #AR, and #XR for #VirtualReality, #AugmentedReality, and #ExtendedReality

that #XR is *also* an abbreviation for #ExtinctionRebellion! Imagine my confusion sifting through *those* hashtags that are in languages I don’t speak!

Perhaps this played a big part in why #Apple switched from #xrOS to #visionOS for their #VisionPro headset. 🤔 It’s less confusing, and easier to search/filter. 🤷‍♀️

Meta i LG podobno rozpoczęły już współpracę nad konkurentem nadchodzącego headsetu Apple Vision Pro.
Szybko poszło, jak to zwykle bywa po wydaniu (a w tym przypadku po zapowiedzi) nowego produktu Apple. Zuckerberg deklaruje, że ma ambitne plany konkurowania z Apple Vision Pro, a nowy raport sugeruje, że Meta współpracuje z LG nad stworzeniem nowego zestawu dedykowanego dla spatial computing.

Raport udostępniony przez UploadVR, łączy Metę i LG, które mają opracowywać przyszłe wersje Meta Quest Pro. Meta prowadzi, na ten moment, rozmowy tylko z LG Display, dostawcą wyświetlaczy zależnym od LG. Jednak nowe informacje sugerują, że partnerstwo będzie poszerzone i obejmie inne spółki LG.

Interesting actions can be found when VoiceOver is navigating containers. For example, in the App Placement Bar, there's “Move to Direct Touch Range” option to bring a window closer, so you can trigger controls directly. You can also move it back using “Indirect Interaction Range”. The default action makes the window face you.

What is the best way to determine where things are from your perspective when you have visual impairments?
It turns out that there is a promising VoiceOver command that attempts to answer that question in the most human terms. When you have something focused with VoiceOver, you can use VO-Shift-D to trigger Describe App Location. This will give information about where your focus is in the space, such as in the distance, partially hidden, behind you, etc

Jokes aside, Xcode 15 beta 5 in combination with visionOS 1.0 beta 2 simulator is a great release. Firstly, visionOS sample apps once again compile (goodbye Xcode 15 beta 2), but more importantly, VoiceOver starts to behave much better (even in Ventura). 
Here's a short recording with VoiceOver preactivated in the simulator because Digital Crown events can't currently be triggered easily, and that's what's needed to get to the accessibility shortcuts.

A few #Apple #VisionPro details from Mike Rockwell at @gruber’s Talk Show Live:

1. Breakthrough of bystanders occurs when they LOOK at you, not just walk by 👍

2. AR remains stable even on a moving plane, lacking a stable inertial frame of ref.

3. ALL #visionOS renders in the keynote were real, generated on-device, EVEN the 3rd-person ones (which were then composited with video of actors). (No foveation in the videos—must not be needed.)

“..,this isn’t a user interface like iOS or iPadOS that has to accommodate big blunt fingers; rather, visionOS’s eye tracking is so accurate that it can easily delineate the exact user interface element you are looking at, which again, you trigger by simply touching your fingers together.

@davemark I have to agree with Zuck on this one, they have totally different approaches, and even the terms they use to describe what is essentially the same concept of #XR: Meta uses the term #Metaverse because they want it to be an interconnected space where users can get together and play/interact.
Apple uses the term #SpatialComputing as their focus so far is expand your computer use cases to a 3D interactive space - indicating that they see the platform as a next-gen computing experience.

The funniest thing about this: calling it "spatial computing", when it subscribes even more firmly to the desktop metaphor than any other #VR or #AR project out before.

You buy the #AppleVisionPro **because** you don't want a more natural way of interacting with a computer, similar to how you would interact with everyday objects. You don't want this kind of ultimate #skeuomorphism. No, #Apple are selling you **the exact opposite**.

Because staring on various screens for 18 hours a day has actually become your default mode of existence. So this new normal is now able to push the natural 3D world in the background. Your immersion is complete, #spatialcomputing means the 2D desktop metaphor gets awarded the place in your life it already has. But emphasized. Interacting with the natural 3D world is slowly becoming a tedious afterthought to interacting with the computer.

The #VisionPro is easing you into it. 🤿
