@twasink@Moltz@danhon It would, although it's built with SceneKit specific stuff like the car handling physics and that will be harder to move over to RealityKit.
@jamesthomson The obvious question to me (and I haven't gone through the WWDC sessions, forgive me if this is obvious) is: how do you use this? Eye tracking is awesome, but "eye + finger tap" for every single digit seems like a clear non-starter. This isn't your problem to solve, but I'm wondering if Apple has thought of this? Or are users expected to say "forty-two squared times the cosine of 30"?
@jamesthomson I'm wondering if -- and I have much optimism that -- hand tracking will be accurate and precise enough that this version of PCalc can used with your hands -- as in reaching out and tapping the buttons directly?
@jamesthomson that’s one of the hmmmmm’s I have about everyone developing apps with the simulator (where you can click). Are people going to design experiences that suck when using eyes. Seems a much bigger distinction than on a phone simulator 🤔 guess we’ll see :)
@jamesthomson I really want to get into AVP development but I've never messed with Apple stuff before. Is there a free way to get into tinkering or does it require the $99 Apple dev fee? Also, can I tinker from a PC or do I need a mac?
@infinimitsu You can do some stuff with just Xcode, but if you want to put anything on the store you need to pay the $99. 99% sure you need a Mac, but maybe some game stuff will work via Unity.
@jamesthomson Not being a wise ass with my usual ‘more bananas’ jokes… really pondering. I wonder if there will be ways to ‘leave the calculator on the counter’ at some point. Even to have it persist there between sessions in a given room. So, it remembers my kitchen, where I stuck the PCalc and, if I put it on the living room, it would remember where I ‘keep it’ in that room….
@jamesthomson@jon_alper I’m pretty sure they talked about that at WWDC during the announcement- about object persistence in the same physical location across multiple “sessions” (my wording) of wearing the device
@jamesthomson@jon_alper I'm pretty sure there is. There was a WWDC talk about location anchors where it mentions that visionOS will remember your anchors in a given scene/world (whatever they're called), but it's up to the dev to store/restore the asset attached to the anchor. And the anchor knows its specific coords within a given space.
