David SmithI've tried to capture my excitement for developing for visionOS in a single blog post. In short, I believe that this represents the start of the next major computing paradigm and poses a tremendous opportunity for developers. I'm expecting to be a “day one" developer and will do everything I can to develop expertise in this platform as quickly as possible. The early stages of new platforms aren't always easy to work on, but the possibilities they allow for are immense.

@viticci thank you Federico, for an amazing report on a very special experience!
@_Davidsmith great take ... I'm sure you are on the right path, and yours is exactly the reaction that Apple wanted in previewing their work at WWDC. Best of luck with WidgetSmith on visionOS!
@michaelsteeber Thanks, great read!
Michael SteeberIt got a bit buried with WWDC, but Jony Ive has a really great interview out this week. Worth your time to read. https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/the-creative-process-is-fabulously-unpredictable-a-great-idea-cannot-be-predicted

First Impressions of Vision Pro and VisionOS
In the same way that the introduction of multitouch with the iPhone removed a layer of conceptual abstraction — instead of touching a mouse or trackpad to move an on-screen pointer to an object on screen, you simply touch the object on screen — VisionOS removes a layer of abstraction spatially.
@stroughtonsmith Of course, it might be sherlocked in the first week, if AVP debuts with a Settings option for doing just that!
@stroughtonsmith absolutely, though my thoughts turn to general CAD & 3D modeling. A killer-app would allow architects to walk clients through a 3D building design in a wraparound environment that had been captured from the greenfield site with 360 degree 3D camera. It should only need one AVP for the presenter, once it figured how to AirPlay the entire video feed, not just a specific virtual window ... and would become one AVP in every architectural or industrial design company in the world!
Monday’s Vision Pro keynote was astonishing, but it brought me back to another Apple moment in time … Dexpo ‘87, where John Sculley intro’s this video, with disclaimer that “our legal people insisted I tell you that this is not a product announcement”!
