Read the introduction to the prequel for Step Into Vision. In the first post about Canvatorium Visio, I shared an early project setup that I'm still using today for Example Code and Labs. It has changes a lot over time, but the seed of the idea started here.

RealityKit Basics: Loading Entities on Device.
When using Reality Composer Pro, Xcode optimizes our assets. If we're not using RCP we could load assets directly from our app bundle, but we can get much better results by providing an rkassets bundle.

Did you know I published 43 visionOS labs on my personal blog before starting Step Into Vision? SwiftUI + RealityKit was new to me so I needed a place to tinker and learn. I always learn more when I share my work so I posted these along the way.

New in RealityKit Basics: Create shapes with MeshDescriptor.
In this example we walk through creating a simple tetrahedron. As a bonus, we even mapped each face to a different material.

Apple created a new way to recognize community members and leaders from across the development world. I'm fortunate to be among the first cohort and I'm in really good company! So many familiar faces, including a few friends from the visionOS community. https://developer.apple.com/community/recognition/

For those participating in the Shared Visions Project, we have scheduled a new recurring meeting. Join us every Wednesday to check in and collaborate as we tell the story of the Apple Vision Pro community.

We've made a lot of progress on Story and UX for Shared Visions. We have design prototypes in the works, the app team is creating foundational technology, and the video team is setting up a workflow and pipeline. Now we're going to pick up the pace with this meeting.
