Apple Vision Pro for developers

Spatial Apps

The future of computing is spatial, and this requires advanced tooling for creators and developers. With major updates to RealityKit, ARKit and SwiftUI, Apple is giving the fantastic opportunity to build spatial apps for visionOS. A new editor, Reality Compose Pro, facilitates the creation of 3D content to be used in RealityKit.

Legacy Apps

iOS developers can easily port their apps to visionOS, which supports both UIKit and SwiftUI. Using the new RealityView component, it’s easy to progressively add 3D to legacy apps, and make them shine on Apple Vision Pro.

Unity support

Developers can keep using Unity to deploy their VR apps & games on Apple Vision Pro. Unity has unveiled the Polyspatial technology, allowing developers working on AR (passthrough) games and apps to deploy on visionOS.

Why is mixed reality going to be necessary for our everyday life?

Opuscope developed Minsar Studio on Magic Leap

At Opuscope, since 2016, we think XR glasses are just the logical continuation of events, preceded by the computers’ and smartphone’s revolutions. However, there was a lack of interest from the general public towards XR.

Now that Apple Vision Pro is about to come, we’re expecting a brand new infatuation with a lot of people.

We are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and providing our customers with cutting-edge solutions. Apple Vision Pro embodies this vision, offering a seamless blend of augmented reality, advanced sensors, intuitive controls, and stunning visuals.

The future of spatial computing is here, and Apple Vision Pro is leading the way. We invite you to be part of this transformative revolution. Get ready to step into a world where reality and virtuality seamlessly intertwine, unlocking new realms of creativity, productivity, and immersive experiences.

The countdown has begun. Stay tuned!
