Aussie visionOS Day - Melbourne

There will be a stellar line-up of presenters covering a broad range of experiences for the Apple Vision Pro including;

Accessibility on Apple Vision Pro presented by Apple

The best technology works for everyone. At Apple, our products and services are inclusive by design, with built in accessibility features — right out of the box. As with all Apple products, powerful accessibility features have been built right into visionOS.

Apple Vision Pro provides many features to support vision, physical and motor, hearing, and learning needs.

In this session, explore how to personalise your device to meet your unique needs, discover more about these features and how to develop for them.

Immersive Disaster Recovery Orchestration (POC) Rod Sampera (Telstra Purple)

Sharing our explorations into a proof-of-concept Apple Vision Pro app, designed to assist Field Intelligence Officers in monitoring, assessing, and orchestrating Disaster Recovery Operations following major weather or disaster events. The app integrates real-time field intelligence sourced from iPhones, iPads, drone scans, and 3D models of impacted sites. Leveraging the immersive capabilities of Apple Vision Pro, this data is brought to life for in-depth analysis and collaboration, enabling the Disaster Recovery Operations team to make informed decisions and efficiently restore network functionality.

Is Spatial Storytelling the future of entertainment? Trent Clews-de Castella (Phoria)

Spatial storytelling now transcends traditional screens, blending multiple mixed media formats with interactivity and mixed reality to create deeply immersive experiences. Learn how PHORIA uses Unity to build next-generation spatial experiences by creating immersive content that breaks free from the screen. Learn about how Unity's extensive support for transmedia playback allows creators to blend 2D and 3D content into environments around the user, engaging multiple senses and creating a true sense of presence. Photorealistic detail is no longer the only benchmark; immersive content within spatial applications now responds dynamically to users' behaviours and environments, making the experience feel alive. By weaving together physical space, digital layers, and real-time interaction, spatial storytelling delivers an embodied experience where the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds blur.

Building Thoughtful ML Experiences for visionOS James Dale (Friday Technologies)

Machine learning has become crucial in shaping how we interact with devices and services in recent years. Let's explore machine learning's capabilities in the spatial context of visionOS. Learn more about building great apps thoughtfully with Core ML and the Enterprise APIs available for visionOS 2.0. We will also explore building with privacy and accessibility in mind and what considerations designers and developers should take when running models in the wild to respect user data and maintain trust.

Rethinking the UX for Apple Vision Pro Oliver Weidlich (Contxtual)

One of the opportunities for spatial computing is to orientate digital content and experiences within the physical world. But there are many aspects of the physical world that we can combine with personal information and digital content that can make our experiences easier, and more engaging. Oliver will talk about we can use elements of context to design better spatial computer experiences and will use the case study of their Apple Vision Pro app, Day Ahead.

Spatial computing for medical assessments and health care Mel Randall (Labflow)

Labflow currently provides software solutions within the health care sector and is embracing the potential that Vision Pro may bring to its customers. In medical environments, professionals are often ‘on-the-go’, moving between wards, workstations and testing labs. With Apple Vision Pro, the ability to access data, hands free and untethered to a traditional workstation is potentially a game changer for productivity and efficiency.
