Lab 028 reminds us that ornaments can be position anywhere around a window using UnitPoint. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-028...

In Lab 048 the Open Window button doesn't work as expected. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-048...

Lab 047 was a fun one where I made some little emoji spheres to bounce around my office. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-047...

Lab 023 is a mini-game that uses a hand anchor to control a box to bounce a ball toward a target. Pretty rough around the edges, but a fun idea stepinto.vision/labs/lab-023...

In Lab 022 I made a very simple hand menu. I need to revisit this. I've learned so much since I made this lab. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-022...

Step Into Vision has always been my sandbox. Right now that means playing with new design ideas for the brand. What do you think of the new Office Hours flyer?

Made a custom controller for VisionOS. Uses IME to drive discrete directional events and BLE to connect to the device. Apple Vision Pro doesn’t have native controllers, but as an heir to a much more mature OS and ecosystem, it has everything you need to build your own!

I got some new art books and fancy pencils to throw on top of the undiagnosed hobby stack 

Did you think I was kidding? Happy 300 Fucks to me and my man 🖤🖤🖤

Is there a special anniversary-like gift for 300 fucks?

Step Into Vision has a lot going on. We have example code and labs. We curate resources, and articles. We host weekly events for visionOS developers and we help run community projects. If you appreciate the work we do for the community, please consider supporting us. stepinto.vision/support/

Same logo, better background?

This is still so early, so much to do. What do you think so far?

Hey, we're skipping the newsletter this week. We're focusing on a number of projects and putting lots of energy into the new Step Into Vision app for Apple Vision Pro. We'll be back soon. In the meantime, check out this work-in-progress UI.

Still a WIP but I'm happy with code line selection in the article view. We can copy an entire block or just tap and drag over the lines we want to copy.

Lab 114 - Using the Glass Box from Lab 078, we can dynamically show and hide panes based on the user’s viewpoint relative to the volume. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-114...

Lab 078 updated and included in the new app we're building.

In lab 078 we use spatialOverlay to wrap any SwiftUI view in glass material panes. Useful for obscuring and unveiling content or providing glass surfaces in a volume. #visionOS #SwiftUI stepinto.vision/labs/lab-078...

Lab 084 with a quick look at the Blurred Background Shader Graph node. This node outputs color value that we can use in other nodes such as mix, multiple, or preview surface. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-084...

Adding line numbers, syntax highlighting, and copy entire block. I also added a gutter on the right that we can use to select one or more lines, then only copy those.

Very early version of the reader in the new Step Into Vision app

Slowly making progress on the official app for Step Into Vision.

A friend just released this app and it is good. Check it out if you enjoy listening to albums one at a time. It connects to Apple Music and the CD wall makes me look a little nuts but I love it apps.apple.com/us/app/disco...

Revisit the Feathered Glass Title Card from Lab 083. We slightly animate softEdgeRadius on a 4 second loop stepinto.vision/labs/lab-083...

New blog post: A (Wo)man, a Plan, Panama. In which I catalog my findings over the last few weeks testing agentic coding in Xcode 27 beta 2. Come to dupe my feedbacks, stay to harden testing prompts. Let's learn in public together. ktlog.corpuscollusion.net/archive/2026...

Only mildly upset that I didn't get invited to the squircle jerk

We've all slapped glassBackgroundEffect on a view and moved on, but this modifier has some features most people don't consider. For example, can use implicit display mode to dynamically add a glass pane when offsetting a view from a parent. stepinto.vision/labs/lab-082...
