Apple Vision Pro development tools are now available

Recently, Apple introducedvisionOS SDK, a new set of tools and techniques that will help developers create Apple VisionPro Creating compelling app experiences that Apple CEO Tim Cook said marks the beginning of "a new era in computing."

Apple developers will be able to take advantage of Vision Pro's outstanding visual and physical capabilities to create novel spatial computing applications across multiple markets and industries, including gaming, design, productivity and enterprise.

To encourage development with visionOS, next month Apple will open 2019 in London, Munich, Tokyo, Singapore and Cupertino.developer lab，为开发人员提供在新的 Apple Vision Pro 硬件上测试其应用的机会。开发人员还可以申请开发者套件，帮助他们快速构建和迭代应用。

"Apple Vision Pro redefines what's possible on a computing platform," said Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. Composer Pro) took their development to the next level, designing a whole new experience for users.”

“Spatial computing opens up new opportunities for our developers by harnessing the space around users and enables them to imagine new ways to help users connect, be more productive, and enjoy new types of entertainment. We can’t wait to see our What the developer community creates."

By leveraging the same framework already in use on other Apple platforms, including powerful technologies such as SwiftUI,Xcode,ARKit and TestFlight, developers can take their creativity to the next level, taking advantage of recently introduced innovations such asReality Composer Pro).

You can use these frameworks to create new immersive applications, covering a wide range of experiences, such as windows that can display 3D content and have depth; volumes that allow users to view from different angles; and spaces that completely immerse users in them.

You can preview and prepare content for Apple Vision Pro just as you prepare content for iPhone and iPad. You can also interact with the visionOS emulator to explore and test different room layouts.

Starting next month, anyone who creates 3D games and apps using Unity's authoring tools will be able to bring their creations to Apple Vision Pro.

Zac Duff, founder and CEO of JigSpace, noted that using Apple Vision Pro and JigSpace tools enables businesses and individuals to collaborate effortlessly to communicate with colleagues and customers in new and innovative ways, no matter when or where.

“It uses high-resolution CAD files that companies already have, so their marketing, sales, product or support teams can securely collaborate with colleagues or customers around the world and It's amazing," Duff said. "Before this, this level of rapid, effective communication was not possible."

Another area that could have a huge impact is manufacturing. Using Apple Vision Pro, manufacturers can easily create and manage interactive 3D content, such as video, animation and illustrations, and use it across their product lines. They can also increase efficiency by allowing interested parties to review content concurrently.

PTC Chief Technology Officer Stephen Prideaux pointed out that this capability will allow them to achieve previously unimaginable improvements in collaboration and innovation.

Updated versions of Xcode, Reality Composer Pro and simulators, and the visionOS SDK are now available to Apple Developer Program members. Registered developers can take advantage of a number of resources, such as technical documentation and design kits, to help them create, test and design applications for Apple Vision Pro.
