The primal scene of Vision Pro

My Vision Pro arrived today. Since I had already been developing on the actual device, the feel of wearing it did not seem strange. After starting it up, there was one landscape I accessed first.

On April 13, I was wearing a Vision Pro at the Hobonichi office in Jimbocho. The hackathon presentation was the next day. But the Vision Pro I was handed was one I was using for the first time that day. Since it had already been used quite a bit, no tutorial appeared.

I had planned to start by installing and running a sample app I had developed on the actual device. But before that, I found myself somewhere else.

A lake spread out in front of me, with light rain falling. The surface of the lake was gently moving. I could not get out of the world of that lake stretching across my view. I even thought that, if things went badly, I might reach the next day's presentation without having done anything.

I later learned that this was a wallpaper-like feature of Vision Pro, and that with a small switch I could turn it off or return to the app list.

I somehow managed to proceed with installing on the actual device. But once I added a new library, things immediately stopped working, and I could not quite tell what was causing it. I moved forward while remembering the old days of building iOS apps on real devices.

Whenever I got stuck, I escaped into the lake scenery. Only during those moments could I avoid facing the reality that we had to present the next day.

The hackathon result did not win an award, but I think the three of us ended up with a result we were satisfied with. Or rather, the other two members were simply too capable.

Remembering all of that, today I accessed the light rain over the lake again from the Japanese-localized Vision OS.
