Apple recently introduced something new called visionOS. it’s a software system made for their new Vision Pro device. Unlike normal apps on phones or laptops, apps built with visionOS work in 3D space. That means people can open, move, and use apps around them in real life using just their hands or eyes.
This new way of using apps is called spatial computing, and it’s going to change how we interact with technology.
What Makes visionOS Different?
visionOS is built to let apps float in the air . You don’t need a screen or a mouse. With Vision Pro, users can look at an app, tap their fingers in the air, or use gestures to move things around. It also supports real-time voice and spatial audio, making the experience feel more natural.
Instead of tapping a screen, people can interact with apps as if they’re real objects in their environment.
Why This Matters for Businesses
This new system isn’t just for gaming or fun. It has real uses for different types of businesses.
For example:
- A real estate app can let users walk through a 3D house from their living room.
- A shopping app can show life-size products you can view from all sides.
- A learning app can let students explore science models in 3D.
As more people start using devices like Vision Pro, businesses that adapt early will have a big advantage.
What Developers Need to Know
If you’re building apps, visionOS means you’ll have to think differently. Instead of designing for flat screens, you’ll design for space where things can be in front, behind, or to the side.
Apple is offering tools like RealityKit and SwiftUI to help with this. But learning how to use them and designing smooth, simple 3D apps takes time and skill.
How Avaibe Is Getting Ready
At Avaibe, we build custom apps for different businesses and we’re looking forward in starting the use of visionOS in our systems. Our team is exploring how today’s apps can work in 3D space, without losing their ease of use.
We believe apps in the future will need to go beyond phones and tablets. That’s why we’re helping clients prepare now so they’re ready when these changes become the new normal.
