Apple Vision Pro For Creators

Are you interested in augmented reality? virtual reality? or maybe just love these new-fangled headsets that take you to new places with new experiences? Me too!

After growing weary of the gatekeeping on AR/VR/mixed-reality development, I decided to write a book for anyone interested in creating their own applications, tools, and games for the Apple Vision Pro. Never written an application in your life? No worries. Join me on a journey into developing for the Apple Vision Pro.

No experience required.

A No-Jargon Guide to Real visionOS Development

Build your dreams (or nightmares) with no previous development experience required.

The Vision Pro elevates the Apple experience for both users and creators. Explore a limitless canvas that can blend with your surroundings or take you to new worlds – using only your body and natural senses for control. Whether your interests lie in productivity, artistic expression, or just plain fun, you can now bring ideas to life in ways that have never been possible. Like all Apple devices, the Vision Pro embraces simplicity, security, and privacy – delivering experiences that are familiar, safe, and family-friendly.

When Apple introduced the iPhone fifteen years ago, the press and competitors lambasted it. The device went on to revolutionize personal connectivity and spark hundreds of clones. This cycle has repeated with the iPad and the Apple Watch – and each has become the leader of their respective product category. The Apple Vision Pro establishes an exciting new platform for Apple that promises to continue this trend by redefining computing, entertainment, and communications well into the future.

This book introduces the Apple Vision Pro headset to creative enthusiasts and provides a beginner’s guide to creating experiences that take advantage of the technological powerhouse. Readers will explore notable features, concepts, and tools.
