Developers are audibly gasping at how excellent Apple's Vision Pro is.

August 26, 2023

Apple might be about to release a product that genuinely lives up to the expectations despite the fact that many companies have tried to break into the virtual reality market.

At WWDC, Apple unveiled the Vision Pro, describing it as a “spatial computer.” The experience is much better than many developers anticipated, and the company has been bringing developers to its Vision Pro laboratories to preview how their apps will appear and perform with the Vision Pro.

According to Flexibits CEO Michael Simmons, it was like watching Fantastical for the first time. I had the impression that I belonged to the app.

A screen with borders might be constrictive. You may scroll and use numerous monitors, yes, but in general you’re restricted to the boundaries,” he continued. Experience with spatial computing “not only validated the designs we had been considering; it helped us start thinking not just about left to right or up and down, but beyond borders at all.”

When testing his app in Apple’s lab, developer David Smith made the appropriate preparations, but he wasn’t ready for how immersive the experience was in comparison to the Vision Pro simulator that developers have access to.

“I’d been staring at this thing in the simulator for weeks and getting a general sense of how it works, but that was in a box,” Smith remarked. “The audible gasp comes when you see your own app actually running for the first time.”

These responses suggest that Apple might swiftly overtake competitors in the VR/AR space.
