Apple Vision Pro Turns One: Spatial Reality Check

WVFRM Podcast

Episode Description

This week, Ellis sits down with Andrew and David to discuss everything Apple Vision Pro! It has been almost exactly one year since the Apple Vision Pro was first released, so we thought it'd be a good idea to talk with actual developers about what they like and don't like about building apps for Apple's new device. Enjoy!

P.S - Thanks so much to Grégoire Lemoulant and Cihat Gündüz for taking the time to speak with us!
