The most exciting part about the launch of the iPhone Duo for me has been seeing some apps finally adding support for iPad. Bluesky being on the top of that list.

We're too excited for the iPhone Duo, so we made our own using the Vision Pro! It's fully functional with a fold slider, orientation flips, and more! It streams whatever's on the Device Hub, so it's perfect for Delta's Duo designs. Happy early birthday, @shanegillio.bsky.social?

This is the FUTURE I have been dreaming about for YEARS Spatial apps/overlays placed in your real space that can compliment each other AND interact with your real world A volumetric GameBoy able to print 3D cards that are able to manifest directly to your real life 3D printer

I think what draws me most to the Duo it is that it is a new design that is exciting.. Havent really had that since the iPhone X. Really every year is better battery, better camera, better screen, faster processor, much of the same. Much of what the Duo lacks really isnt a dealbreaker.

Two headsets Networking the same 4DGB Emulator in real time With all of the rendering options able to be changed independently from each other This is so epic, I am going to cry 😭

sadlyitsbradleybot.bsky.social@sadlyitsbradleybot.bsky.social

Developing 4DGB has shown me how incredible all of visionOS’ systems (and developer APIs) actually are But the one functionality that I got working last night, actually blew my mind It’s actually possible to fulfill my YEARS of much mentioned dreams of “Networked XR Overlays”

Apple Will Judge Your Mustache Authenticity at Its Ted Lasso Look-Alike Contest

macrumors.comApple Will Judge Your Mustache Authenticity at Its Ted Lasso Look-Alike ContestTed Lasso season four is set to premiere Wednesday, and to celebrate the debut, Apple is hosting a Ted Lasso look-alike contest in New York. "Think you have the stache to make fans believe? Join the fun this August 6 at Apple Fifth Avenue Plaza for a Ted Lasso Look-Alike contest," reads Apple's Facebook event page. Apple has a set of contest rules instructing participants to visit Apple Fifth Avenue to be judged on "the degree to which they look and act like the character Ted Lasso." There will be a three-round contest with eliminations in each round. Ten semifinalists will be selected after round one, five finalists will make it past round two, and three finalists will be selected in round three. The event starts at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time and runs until 7:00 p.m. * Round One, Ted Energy - Contestants have to introduce themselves in character and have a two-minute dance break. Judging will be based on optimism, posture, and presence, along with costume commitment and participation level. * Round Two, Head Coach - Semifinalists will participate in a trivia game and will be judged on the level to which each participant embraces the Ted Lasso character. The round will be judged on trivia results, costume commitment, mustache authenticity (Apple says 'stick-ons OK; real grows extra credit'), and The Believe Factor (something unique and special). * Round Three, Ted Talk - Each remaining contestant will present a 30- to 45-second pep talk to the crowd. It will be judged on how moved the crowd is, costume commitment, and Ted Energy. A first-place winner will receive custom Beats headphones and a custom soccer scarf, while the two runners-up will get the scarf alone. Full rules are on Apple's site for the event. Season four of Ted Lasso will premiere on Wednesday, August 5, and it has 10 total episodes. One episode will be released every Wednesday through October 7. In the new season, Lasso returns to Richmond to coach a second-division women's soccer team. Ted Lasso favorites including Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift will star in the series.

Made a custom controller for VisionOS. Uses IME to drive discrete directional events and BLE to connect to the device. Apple Vision Pro doesn’t have native controllers, but as an heir to a much more mature OS and ecosystem, it has everything you need to build your own!

The term “AI” is so massive that saying it in a general way almost means nothing now. It’s like saying “I like computers”

Amid the weirdest year for gaming hardware in a long time (ever?), the Switch 2 isn’t the same thing as the first Switch but it’s also becoming an even better looking proposition with Windows handhelds having gotten $$$. One year thoughts www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...

Apple created a new way to recognize community members and leaders from across the development world. I'm fortunate to be among the first cohort and I'm in really good company! So many familiar faces, including a few friends from the visionOS community. developer.apple.com/community/re...
