- Apple vision pro and spatial computing: A feasibility study for game developmentPublication . SANTOS, PEDRO NUNO LAPA; Carvalho, Carlos Miguel Miranda Vaz de; Jacob, JoãoApple has recently launched a new spatial computing and Extended Reality (XR) platform that aims to combine virtual, augmented and mixed reality to offer users an unique experience in the Apple ecosystem. The Apple Vision Pro and its visionOS operating system mark an exciting new player in the market. As this is a new platform with a mostly unexplored market, organizations like Mindera have an exciting opportunity to be early adopters of this platform, if it proves to be a worthy investment. This project explores the Apple Vision Pro’s feasibility from a game development perspective through a systematic literature review, as well as the design and development of an original tabletop game that leverages the platform’s unique capabilities. Semi-structured interviews with XR and game development experts were conducted to validate the prototype and gather insights on the platform’s technical and practical aspects. Findings reveal that, while it offers exciting features such as controller-free natural interactions that use eye-tracking and gesture recognition, it has some noticeable limitations like its limited availability and high price. Overall, the study concludes that, although the Apple Vision Pro demonstrates promising potential for XR game development, it still is at an intermediate stage of technological maturity (TRL6).
