@stroughtonsmith This could be a pretty sweet killer app for visionOS, too… turn any photo into an instant 3D environment 🤯
@edmn @daringfireball Agree 100%. A lot of this are features that a healthy ecosystem should have but that Apple has no financial incentive to provide. Users are already locked in to an ecosystem and these things slightly chip.away at Apple’s moat rather than further building it up.

@daringfireball @gruber Did any little birdies happen to let you know if this is something Apple is actively supporting them on? Or is this “just” a developer building a great use case for the device but without direct support from Apple?

Either way, pretty cool story.

@stevex @stroughtonsmith They could call it Claris 😉
@stroughtonsmith If they do that on iPadOS, i hope they also replace / augment Mac Virtual Display on VisionOS with the ability to simply run Mac apps natively on device.
@stroughtonsmith @_Davidsmith 3rd party screensavers and more advanced multitasking on tvOS.
@stroughtonsmith Do you think there’s still things they can do in software that would still make Vision Pro a more useful device? Or would it really take new hardware to make a real difference?
@vmachiel @stroughtonsmith That’s weird… wonder what’s going on behind the scenes that would make the browser app more efficient than native. Same resolution & codec in both?
@stroughtonsmith I wish they would have kept Rockwell on Vision and have him do a few more iterations on it. They didn’t quite hit the mark with v1 but it feels like they gave up too soon.
@stroughtonsmith While we’re dreaming: I wouldn’t mind having Steam Store on Apple TV 😅
