SwiftUI Is this video spatial, or not? We have this feature in a visionOS app that allows users to select videos from their library using the PhotosPicker from PhotoKit. Overall, its implementation is simple and effective, especially given everything that is going on behind the scenes. Once a video is selected, we wanted to avoid restricting the
SwiftUI Soft measurement unit formatting One common issue encountered when developing for visionOS is that all measurements are displayed in imperial units by default. This is because there are still no settings for Language & Region. To allow users to select the measurement unit type without having to set the locale, formatters must be used
Art +TALKS #4 Another exceptional edition of this meet-up. This one got right to the bone, sometimes literally.
SwiftUI SwiftUI: .accessibilityLabel powered by SSML It all began with the question, "How can SwiftUI make VoiceOver speak multiple languages?" Then I went down a rabbit hole to learn more about the relationship between attributed strings and voice synthesis. This worked with some caveats, but it provided an answer that solved the question. Or
Accessibility Accessibility-driven development I have been rethinking the challenges that some teams face when incorporating accessibility into existing pipelines. It seems that we (people involved in making products) will require a development methodology that is accessibility-driven and involves the execution of automated accessibility audits during testing. Apple made some hints at the Perform
visionOS Immersive scene phases Observing the ScenePhase in the environment has demonstrated to be a far more reliable technique for determining if an ImmersiveSpace is active or not. This is particularly helpful for making accessibility announcements, as it allows the user to adjust to the context switch. import SwiftUI @main struct ImmersiveScenePhaseApp: App { @Environment(
Accessibility Accessible Spatial Computing @ iOSKonf24 Last week, I had the opportunity to speak about accessible spatial computing at the iOSKonf24 conference. The talk coincided with the Global Accessibility Awareness Day, highlighting the importance of making new technology accessible to all. The presentation format was refined from Let's visionOS 2024 with the intention be
Accessibility Accessible Encounter Dinosaurs While preparing my talk for iOSKonf24, I came across a guide that showed how to adjust the settings of Encounter Dinosaurs. For some reason, after nearly a year and hundreds of demos, it never occurred to me that the app's settings could include accessibility options. And here you

visionOS visionOS Manipulation Gesture There are some great tips in the Take SwiftUI to the Next Dimension WWDC23 session. However, part of the code demonstrated was not included (at the time of writing) in the Hello World sample, so here’s a simple implementation of the ManipulationGesture on top of the default template.
