Leeds Mobile: Hack Reality – An Introduction To Making Apps for Apple Vision Pro

Organised by Flutter Entertainment

This month we’ll have a talk from Matt Heaney.

Hack Reality – An Introduction To Making Apps for Apple Vision Pro
Let’s get up and running making apps for Vision Pro, Apple’s newest device!

At WWDC 2023, Apple made a game changing announcement: they introduced the Vision Pro and visionOS, their first steps into spacial computing. Their new headset allows apps to break out of iPhone and iPad screens and blend seamlessly into spaces around us.

For users, this is incredibly exciting. But as developers, this goes another level: we get to make apps to be used on the headset! Whether you’re an experienced developer for Apple products or brand new to the game, this is the perfect time to get involved.

The best part is: it’s easier than you may think to get and running with developing for visionOS. There’s a lot of new terms and tools we can use, but this talk has you covered.

In this talk, we’ll start at the very top, and we’ll look at:

What impact could the Vision Pro have on developing for Apple products?
Navigating the Vision Pro simulator in Xcode
The difference between apps that use Windows, Volumes and Spaces
How to get up and going building your first Vision Pro apps
My goal with this talk is not only to provide you with the information you need to get up and running, but also to inspire you to make your first projects for the Vision Pro

Matt started in 2012, and taught himself how to code – it quickly became a hobby and a passion before turning into a career, but he loves doing it everyday like it was still a hobby. He has been coding for 12 years, and is now exploring indie projects.

We’ll be hosted by Flutter Entertainment in Wellington Place. Please arrive from 5:30pm and sign in on the iPad at reception. Then once through the gates come up to the 7th floor.
