Within the final two weeks since my system arrived, I’ve had a blast going by way of apps in visionOS. Due to everybody who despatched me a hyperlink to your app, too.
I’m no professional but, however I’ve spent a while excited about the potential of visionOS as an app platform within the final couple of weeks. The primary conclusion I’m prepared to attract is that there are two varieties of apps:
- Apps that may make you place your headset on.
- Apps which can be price utilizing in case you already have the headset on.
The App Retailer has a lot of apps which can be good to make use of if you have already got the headset on, and I’m fairly certain this is because of SwiftUI. The hassle of including yet another platform to a multi-platform SwiftUI app isn’t monumental, particularly if the app already helps iPad. However with that ease of improvement comes the draw back. Your app already exists on different units! So, if somebody wants your app, they’ll choose up their iPad or cellphone (which they’re most likely already holding) earlier than the Imaginative and prescient Professional.
Whereas if they’re already carrying their Imaginative and prescient Professional, having your app on visionOS is a superb profit. I’d a lot reasonably open a local app than look by way of the passthrough cameras to apply it to one other system. So, the very first thing I’d say is it’s undoubtedly price including a visionOS model of your app if it’s not an excessive amount of hassle. 👍
However these apps aren’t going to make the platform successful. visionOS wants apps that may make you stroll up or down a flight of stairs, take your glasses off, and put the headset on for an opportunity to make use of them.
The excellent news is now we have a number of years to make these apps occur, and it’s not solely as much as third-party builders both. Apple must put loads of work into clearing the “Appropriate Apps” folder out. Additionally they have to ship many extra apps that make this system shine. The {hardware} is greater than succesful and when it will get it proper, it actually will get it proper!
However till Apple releases these apps, do you may have an concept for an app that may make individuals put their headset on?
