I just got back from going to a Vision Pro developer session at Apple Park. This was a one day event for developers of Vision Pro apps. It was basically a mini WWDC but with new content all presented live, followed by a lot of time and access to talk to Apple engineers and product managers etc.

The exact content was confidential, but of course there wasn’t anything secret being announced.

What stood out was that they clearly see this as the very early stages of VisionOS, and thet are very excited and confident about the platform they are building - this was simply obvious from the demeanor of every presenter and engineer.

The event was oversold and I was there with about 100 other developers all of whom were also very positive. For what it’s worth, developing a Vision Pro app is easy fron a coding perspective, but a lot of work from a design perspective because we have so little experience with the platform. All of the developers I spoke with were completely realistic about the difficulty of making a profitable app in the short term given the very gradual sales ramp, but were also all convinced of the long term value of the spatial computing concept, as am I.

In any case, I thought this might be some interesting context for people here.
