"Finally got a Vision Pro and now I can test all the prototypes that I made for VisionOS last year 🥳 My overall impression of Vision Pro: a piece of art. The user experience is very smooth and solid. Developing for VisionOS is a pure joy. No glitches and bugs so far. The real-time interactive updates in the preview are chef kiss. People who have been in XR for a while are not really spoiled by things that just work. In this regard the Vision Pro experience feels magical. We are always happy when a system's behaviour matches our expectations (a little dopamine reward to celebrate the"

"Tried to use Minecraft-sized voxels in my previous RealityKit experiment. It wont be practical for indoor use but I can see some use cases for this size if you're designing in the field. 🗿 That day I was heading to Stonehenge so I decided to grab my Vision Pro and test this prototype there. Also I took a few nice photos of these lovely stones (when I arrived it miraculously stopped raining). https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2023332497535152483 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2023332497535152483"

"Redesigned the previous prototype with visual mechanics inspired by Blender. The circular selection interaction pattern is a great way to enhance accessibility and improve accuracy by restricting item selection to a single dimension and therefore reducing noise in user input. For a circular menu one may describe spatial transformations using polar coordinates components: Radius and Angle. I used Radius to set selection availability and Angle to define the selected item. Plus this particular pattern allows you to expose the names of the items which might be helpful in cases when the functions"

"After I shared my prototype with an AR Camera Portal a few people asked me what would happen if it was not a camera stream but the scene itself was attached to the portal with all the physics affected. Good question I made a quick prototype to test it. And the answer. You can see it It's FUN. Of course the behavior might seem wholly messed up but when one sees a failure another sees an opportunity. You might be able to leverage these two modes to activate some game mechanics like solving puzzles or repurposing your weaponry. #mixedreality #prototyping #spatialcomputing #3dmath #xr #xrdesign"

Maybe I'll bring it back to increase gameplay challenges. 🛰 In the experiment I mentioned I used wireframed cubes to increase awareness about the structure of the voxel scene and make it easier to interact with the head. However for this game I want the player to move around the volume and engage with the space. So I made the"

"Made another prototype to explore how you can create a voxel with hand-tracking. When you push the main voxel it generates wireframe voxels along its path. The interaction itself feels fun and effortless but it requires generated voxels to be in a wireframe or ghost mode to avoid overlapping with your hand.

"When I shared my last interaction concept for a spatial hand-based menu some people asked why I didn't put the menu on the fingertips since it would provide haptic feedback and therefore it would increase the accuracy and the interaction speed. I did a few prototypes with this type of interaction in the past and indeed it worked very well. But as with everything in Design the answer to the "Is it good" question is "It depends". Several things are worth considering when you design spatial interactions like this for your product. 1) Interference with system actions. Since these gestures are"

"Prototyped another variation of the previous keypad concept with eye-tracking. Quest Pro didn't track Ring/Pinky pinches accurately so I used both hands to leverage only the Index and Middle pinches for decoding key signs. Pinch Invokation Map: 1) Left Index - Top Left - "A" 2) Left Middle - Bottom Left - "1" 3) Right Index - Top Right - "B" 4) Right Middle - Bottom Right - "C" As you can see the left hand decodes the left side of a key's signs and the right hand does the right side retrospectively.

"Thought about making a hand-tracking-based version of BoxelXR (my XR voxel editor I build in my spare time). This is a prototype for a tool picker.

"If you take a moment to observe the real-world interaction systems around us that have been used for some time you'll notice they tell a story of past interactions. You can see the physical evidence of how users have interacted with them like scratches and fingerprints.

These artifacts store the history of interactions. This storage system has a practical impact: it optimizes our cognitive load. When interacting with a system it subtly"

"Love that spatial UI is going mainstream. But there is a little reminder: don't be tempted to make everything look 3D when you work on interfaces. Practically a book is a set of 2D planes with a number of rows of signs. There is a natural reason why it's efficient both for production and consumption. Using as few dimensions (and resources) as possible to transfer as much data is the philosophical stone of design and engineering in general. 2D projections for transferring text/symbol-based abstractions (encoded information) are practical and have shown their worth over the last dozens of"

"Explored the finger menu with a depth-based layout. Felt fun. Microinteractions/UI motion helped to compensate for the lack of haptic feedback by providing rich visual clues and reinforcing the user's intentions (all these subtle micro-movements). Based on the prototype here are a few things to consider when you use this interaction pattern: 1) Perspective visual distortion. It might take more time to recognize visually distorted signs when they are arranged by depth. It's a good idea to use well-known sign sequences where the current selected element gives you a hint about the previous and"

But to call Settings or the Library panel you just need to move the thumbstick to the left/right. Naturally many users assumed the Create/Save buttons should have been triggered in the same way as Settings/Library. So the users thought that the buttons didn't work or something was wrong with their controllers. One of the reasons why I used an additional step for the Create and Save was to prevent its accidental triggering. When you created"

"In this experiment I tried to use a 3D portal as an AR display. It felt very interesting. But it has a few limitations: 1) It's much better to have a fixed 3D scene world position relative to the portal. Free movement of the world felt disoriented and too overwhelming for a human brain to process. 2) Because the scene felt "real" your spatial perception of it changes drastically in different modes. So this can affect gameplay accuracy (or be a part of it so this "issue" might be embraced). The next step is bringing the controller to a fully immersive VR scene #spatialcomputing #spatialdesign"

Usually in Unity for example to get this type of smoothness you manually lerp your values each frame. It gives you of course a lot of control over all these calculations but also a little headache. In SwiftUI you kind of forget about all these frame-based calculations which is lovely it saves a ton of time. Also it gracefully handles interactive animations even in the real-time preview. Sick"

"Thought about leveraging the third dimension (depth) and stacking several different sliders to get multimode input in a compact form. This approach works well with naturally distinguished properties like RGB channels that are easy to visualize based on their innate semantic traits (color coding in our case: red channel represented by red green by green etc.) to quickly identify in which mode you are. Another example is a controller for cold/hot water. It can be a good candidate for this type of interaction since cold/hot labeling has a strong convention around its semantics (red for hot blue"

"Tried the fingertip menu concept I shared last year for my voxel editor. I hoped that over the year hand-tracking would improve or we could get some non-computer-vision system to track hands in Quest to mitigate this ridiculous amount of false positives for non-index fingers. Anyway the interaction itself is fun but with a set of restrictions: 1) System UX collision: Obviously on Quest it interferes with the system menu call. Unfortunately this pattern is unusable until Meta moves the system menu calls elsewhere. 2) Anatomical restriction I: At the moment it will be an issue if you want to"

"Another example of using a shader for mesh transformations in the context of UI Design. For this particular example I used vertex colors to mark some areas that are used in the shader to do visual effects and spatial transformations: changing colors and animating the knob. Time interpolation input is processed with a C# script and mesh transformation logic is done on HLSL wrapped with Shader Graph (used URP). Plan to make a little UI library for VisionOS (RealityKit/SwiftUI) and Unity (XR Interaction Toolkit) using this approach"

"Added pressing states toggle group processing sounds and pointer/direct touch support to my VolumeUI library (will release once it's finished). A few people asked if there are benefits of using 3D over 2D UI. I believe that using 3D interfaces for spatial interactions that involve the human body allows you to utilize additional visual cues such as shadows highlights and reflections. These properties help increase spatial awareness of UI elements thereby enhancing the accuracy of body movement and aiming. UX that leverages these 3D properties makes spatial interactions feel more "based" /"

"Using animations in UI is a great way to guide users' attention and visually provide feedback from an interactive system. Finding a proper combination of timing and easings is an art that takes some time to master. However when I design creative tools I often find that not using time-based animation is the best approach. Users interact with the UI very frequently (which develops muscle memory) and any delay in response slows the completion of their tasks down. In many cases time-based UI animation is a friction that makes the UX worse. A good case for that is the recent project I've been"

"Made a modal panel demo with UI elements from my VolumeUI library. The coolest part of the lib is that you can bind all interactables to anything with the "pressing" factor which is a normalized value (0.0-1.0) that tells how much the user pressed the button. So you can create all sorts of user-input-driven animations. I love this approach: it kills two birds with one stone. These animations will be barely noticeable for users who interact fast with your UI so that the UI motion won't interfere with the user's interactive process. And for users who are new to the UI the animations will"

"Made a Balanced Stepper. I was exploring a fusion between a slider and a stepper. Came up with an interesting interaction pattern. The affordance of this UI is to make it easy to revert to a default optimal value. The more deviated the value the easier it is to go back to the optimal one. So it requires a high level of awareness to set extreme deviational values which decreases the chance of doing this accidentally. Here are some use cases when using such interaction might be helpful to: - Applying color correction (e.g. white balance contrast hue); - Modifying the audio signal (e.g. panning"

"AR Finger Drumming. A while ago I made a few prototypes while exploring different navigation patterns with finger-based interactions. Thought some of these ideas would work well as a musical instrument (or as an input system that drives the MIDI communication). The idea itself is quite promising and might work in independent operating systems but unfortunately right now it wont work on mainstream XR OSs (VisionOS Quest) since the palm-facing index pinch is reserved for calling the system menu (in the demo you can hear the kick overlapping with the Quests system sound). Anyway I hope one day"

"Thought to try the Glass UI in AR/VR. During a quick test it became obvious that it wouldn't work well. Which is ironic since it might be seen as something inspired by spatial UI. The main issue is the glass effects -- they look beautiful from one specific point of view. Though there are infinitely many other viewpoints from which the visuals may appear less appealing or even confusing. I think it's a great style for branding and promotional experiences (where visual extravagance is highly appreciated) but for day-to-day use it's a bit overwhelming."

"Thanks 100% some shader tweaks would make it look better. It's not that big but it just feels unnecessary from my perspective; it's too complex for daily-use-UI. It feels like a piece of art that would require a directed environment. It looks beautiful though. The main issue with this interaction will not be the refraction shader but the elevation animation which in the case of direct interaction will intersect with the touching fingertip. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018662648800280969 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018662648800280969"
