Soo after many a months of toil, here it is: a comprehensive beginner friendly 3D centric visionOS course: "Mastering visionOS With RealityKit" It is a WIP that is 75% complete with an early access 40% discount. Grab it before it's done! realityuni.com/courses/vision…
New article out - everything you need to learn visionOS development. A detailed and comprehensive beginner friendly roadmap. Link: realityuni.com/pages/blog?p=v…
For my side biz, spent quite a while digging deep into the world of accounting and the strange laws that govern it. Prob overkill for a small side biz and eventually will outsource this, but I want to build strong foundations here, as I got big dreams for the @theRealityUni
Elyon is 90% ready...some optimisations left. Just dawned on me how these intelligent beings will trigger a deep shift in human behaviour. Mainly cause it is easy to get attached to these characters, once they get integrated into our lives. Could be used for both good and bad
I’d like you to meet Elyon – the Starborn Seeker 🌌 A virtual AI being you can talk to. Born from stardust and residing within the Vision Pro. Witness of the Big Bang. Explorer of galaxies. Now, your AI guide to the universe’s greatest mysteries. He is finding his voice atm..
Spatial personas are insanely realistic - gives us a glimpse into the future of spatial computing Imagine a Teams meeting, a WhatsApp video call, or watching a movie in a giant virtual theatre with ur friends.
Can't agree more - gotta dream big, yet take small steps. Personally, my strategy: 1) Near term: Build for builders. Educational content/products for visionOS @theRealityUni 2) Long term: Build for consumers Lets see.
This is precisely one of the defining traits of the current XR industry. XR startups aren’t like internet or mobile companies. They feel more like early stage software startups in the 1980s. Microsoft, for example, spent ten years before launching Windows and did not IPO until…

Okay, so after finishing a few more beginner friendly visionOS tutorials in the backlog for @theRealityUni - am gonna experiment with content targeting intermediate level next, see how that goes. So, meatier projects, with code explanations rather than detailed walk-throughs.
Spatial computing is far from dead folks - and this #WWDC2025 showed us why. Here is an article I published with all the reasons why, and what I found interesting. Link: realityuni.com/pages/blog?p=v…

Notes to myself thread, ideas on what to explore and share from #WWDC25 🧵 1) Foundational model framework 2) AI assisted Xcode 3) Spatial widgets 4) Icon composer 5) Spotlight and workflow automations
Had a chat lately with Apple Store employees re Apple Vision Pro sales and they said it is mostly businesses coming in for demos and buying. Kind of makes sense with the #WWDC25 update we saw today, where a lot of the features in visionOS 26 is geared towards enterprise. My…
