In collaboration with Mr. Steffen Büschking and Mr. Sarp Güven, I contributed to the development of a digital media viewer tailored for the Apple Vision Pro, alongside authoring a scientific report that dives deeper into our process and findings. I invite you to explore it here.
We built a SwiftUI-based application that blends traditional 2D media with immersive 3D content, showcasing the capabilities of the Apple Vision Pro and the visionOS platform.
The application provides two distinct environments:
This dual-environment design allows for an engaging and layered media experience, bridging the gap between standard media formats and immersive content.
The application is structured into three modular components:
Originally, we intended to anchor the 2D view onto a real-world surface using plane and image detection. However, due to limitations in the beta version of the visionOS Simulator, such tracking was not yet available. This led us to creatively rework the UI to simulate spatial depth using only the main application window.
This project stands as a hands-on exploration of mixed reality development in its early stages on Apple Vision Pro. It showcases not only technical execution but also adaptability in a rapidly evolving ecosystem.
