Apple: Apple announces software tools for developers to create apps for Vision Pro – Times of India
Earlier this month, Apple unveiled Vision Pro, its first spatial computing device. Powered by visionOS, Vision Pro lets users interact with digital content in their physical space using their eyes, hands, and voice. Now, Apple has announced that starting today, its global community of developers will be able to create spatial computing apps for Vision Pro.
Developers can use other Apple tech as well
Apple has said that developers can use other Apple platforms, including Xcode, SwiftUI, RealityKit, ARKit, and TestFlight. “These tools enable developers to create new types of apps that span a spectrum of immersion, including windows, which have depth and can showcase 3D content; volumes, which create experiences that are viewable from any angle; and spaces, which can fully immerse a user in an environment with unbounded 3D content,” said Apple in a newsroom post.
Further, Apple also stated that to help developers optimise 3D content for their visionOS apps and games, an all-new tool available with Xcode called Reality Composer Pro lets them preview and prepare 3D models, animations, images, and sounds. Developers can also interact with their apps in the new visionOS simulator to explore and test various room layouts and lighting conditions.
Apple will also open developer labs in Cupertino, London, Munich, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo to provide developers with hands-on experience to test their apps on Apple Vision Pro hardware and get support from Apple engineers. Development teams will also be able to apply for developer kits to help them quickly build, iterate, and test right on Apple Vision Pro, starting next month in these open developer labs.
“Apple Vision Pro redefines what’s possible on a computing platform. Developers can get started building visionOS apps using the powerful frameworks they already know, and take their development even further with new innovative tools and technologies like Reality Composer Pro, to design all-new experiences for their users,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations.
