Without using this correction, the aim position was off by about a centimeter with the stylus in front of me.

* When you get an AccessoryAnchor, you can get a coordinateSpace for the .aim and use correction or not. The correction gives you a position that will better match up with real-world objects in the passthrough display.

* I'm using AccessoryTrackingProvider here to get the results, as opposed to an AnchoringComponent. I will experiment with AnchoringComponent later.

Some notes on my experiences so far with this device:
* The aim anchor is fairly smooth and updates well, but did float when I had the stylus in front of my MacBook Pro screen when it was off. Maybe this was due to reflections on the screen?

I added a new open source app, LaserPointer, to ARKitVision (link in comments). This has a simple setup for tracking the Logitech Muse stylus, and uses the primary button to change laser beam colors.

Just did a demo of the Apple Vision Pro with M5. It was already an amazing device that I’ve been fortunate to work with daily since last February, and this is a really great upgrade. Text is crisper, load times are near instant, and the moon surface in Jupiter has really sharp details. 🥽

Apple Vision Pro Developer Strap (2nd Generation) just arrived.

Curiously, it has some more more metal near the connector on both sides, and is just a bit visible on the right.

Buy Apple Vision Pro Shop Apple Vision Pro with the new powerful M5 chip and comfortable Dual Knit Band. Sign up for an in-store demo. Or shop with a specialist over video.

Apple Vision Pro with M5 and a new dual knit loop looks great! Preorder now and it releases October 22.

I’m excited to see how much further we can push apps on this with the upgraded processor.

I’d support this but maybe more practical than making specific examples, it would be awesome if you could “tag” anything which also works on iOS, macOS, and/or tvOS… since we have RealityView on all three of these with tvOS 26.

Yep. If you had already downloaded it, you still can access it. It’s removed from the App Store, and no updates are planned.

Save your Clips videos - Apple Support The Clips app is no longer being updated, and will no longer be available to download as of October 3, 2025. You can continue to use Clips on iOS 26 and iPadOS 26.

A bit sad to see that Clips is no longer being supported.

Who(m)ever at Apple that made the Xcode 26 Theme preferences where I can just press ⌘-+ or ⌘-- to increase/decrease all of the font sizes at once, you deserve cookies. THANK YOU! I love this little convenience!! 🔨🧑‍💻

Working with ARKit & imageTrackingProvider on visionOS, anyone knows how many images could be tracked at the same time? From my own test seems only 1 image at a time to detect, & maximumNumberOfTrackedImages not available for visionOS? Any idea to track multi images simultaneously?
