We’re making steady progress on the Step Into Vision App for Apple Vision Pro. No details yet, but we’re migrating all the current examples and labs to it. We’re also working on something to to better cover Reality Composer Pro. The new version is much more sophisticated than what we’ve worked with for the last three years. More on this new series soon.

Shared Visions: after a hiatus around WWDC, we finally got back to work on the Shared Visions project.
