What we’ve seen of visionOS is really impressive. But thinking about the bits that are currently missing…

HUDs aren’t shown. Maybe they look weird when they aren’t anchored to your space. Maybe their applications are no good if other people in the space can’t see them.

But I wanna see more AR applications for drivers and pilots and surgeons.

@clarko biggest thing I missed was pinning things on walls. Like, the calendar lives in the kitchen, the tv is always above the fireplace.

@bradellis yeah that’s on my wishlist but it seems like that’ll be part of some eventual WidgetKit update. Everything in 1.0 is an app that you open and close.

@clarko @bradellis along the lines of a calendar on the wall: spatial HomeKit would be awesome! 🤩 Look at a light and pinch to turn it on/off. Flick to open the blinds.

@lexpostma @clarko @bradellis We created this quick prototype for HomeKit control using Pushcut on the Magic Leap 2 headset https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7072400395494424576/

@clarko and I think they already did too much for 1.0!

@bradellis @clarko Here’s a prototype we did for pinning reminders to the door with data feeds etc before you head out. We were exploring proxemics for reducing the visual clutter until it’s relevant. Lot’s more refinement to play with content and preview states etc. Magic Leap 2 again :-) Can’t wait to get our hands on Vision Pro! https://www.contxtu.al//digital-in-reality/leaving-reminders

@bradellis @clarko That’s an interesting idea, something I guess that HoloLens does. But if you pin your calendar to your office wall then go get a coffee in the kitchen, is your calendar trapped in the office? I suppose it could know you’ve left the office and have it accessible in a stack of pinned apps, then put them back to their pinned locations when you’re back inside that space? I’m not surprised that’s not a 1.0 thing. Sounds like a tricky thing to pull off for something we don’t know if most people will care about.
