From September 2nd to 5th, the iOSDevUK Conference took place in Aberystwyth, Wales. Before the official kickoff, Giovanni Monaco and Pasquale Vittoriosi conducted a workshop on building for the Apple Vision Pro while Flora Damiano opened the conference talking about the creative process of app icon design.

Building for Vision Pro Workshop

This workshop provided a comprehensive introduction of the platform, featuring a live demo and hands-on exercises, all supported by step-by-step walkthroughs. Giovanni and Pasquale, who have been extensively covering Spatial Computing from both design and technical perspectives since the official announcement of visionOS, shared their insights gained through direct experimentation with the device.

Here are some of their articles that may serve as a reference to get you started if you want to explore the topics of the workshop on your own:
