I call it UnRealityKit. It's a UE5 + RealityKit bridge for Apple Vision Pro. All those things you can't do in Unreal Engine for AVP due to Metal: eye tracking, standard gesture controls, room lighting & reflections, volumes, fully utilizing the M2/M5 chip... all possible now.

I definitely hoped folks would enjoy our Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser VR experience. I did not expect how many tears we’d be cleaning off the headsets. This meant a lot to people.

I would love an Apple Vision Pro app that lets you easily create your own immersive environments. My grandmother is about to sell her condo which has been my favorite place to visit since I was 3 years old. Many happy memories and it would be wonderful to preserve the sights and sounds of this spot for the rest of my life and come back here any time.

Apple Vision Pro in 2.0 supports PASSTHROUGH on Unreal Engine 5.5 !! This feels great, so excited to start building proper mixed reality apps. Not production-ready, but stable to the point where we'll start offering public classes. Get on our newsletter:

The Meta Boba 3 prototype has an impressive field of view (and I like that they let you toggle the Quest 3 comparison) but the lack of graphic fidelity (hooked up to an RTX 5090) made it hard to be super impressed — honestly my Vision Pro when close to my eyes feels about on par. Tiramisu was only a 30 degree FOV but felt like more of a peek into the future.

I took it a step further and used Moon VR Player | Your Private Cinema to watch the trailer in Apple Vision Pro on a giant screen with Quality Boost and Realtime 3D. Yea, I used AI to take an AI generated thing and make it sharper and fully 3D. I kind of hate how much I loved it. Would I watch some of my favorite movies of all time remade this way? Yes I would. Turns out AI is getting to the point where it can do a very good job of taking the spirit of a live action scene and translating it to a compelling animation (at least better than the 1978 rotoscoped version of Lord of the Rings). And it's only going to get better. I absolutely believe this kind of training should be done with consent and licensing fees. Miyazaki hates AI and Lord of the Rings, so this kind of seems like a slap in the face to him. Ugh.
