I guess About by PCalc for Vision Pro came out just too late to make it into the running for “exceptional spatial experiences” 😅

@jamesthomson Actually, the original review team for the Design Award are probably still in their offices, busy trying out your app. They had so much fun using it, they forgot to take off their Vision Pro devices and submit their award recommendation in time for the announcement 🙃

About by PCalc for Vision Pro is now in the hands of App Review, so we shall see what happens next!

Making screenshots for visionOS apps is tough, particularly for a fully immersive one like this. Getting the horizon completely level is certainly a challenge.

A screenshot of the PCalc About screen, showing a view of the city, with two trains and a bridge in the background.
A screenshot of the PCalc About screen, with a friendly panda welcoming you to Level 2.
A screenshot of the PCalc About screen, showing another view of the city with a big silver loop in the middle.

@jamesthomson Just get the non-existing ”VESA mount for Vision Pro” peripheral, use a screwdriver to attach your Vision Pro firmly to the mount in a very rigid kind of way, where the HMD/headset can’t move in any angle. Get your head inside the attached headset, take a screenshot, then let the screws loose. Easy … 🥹

@jamesthomson Also, I’m only getting more interested in trying out the app but seeing how I don’t even live in a city with an official first-party Apple retail store, it will be several years before I get to see anything in person, unless a friend of mine happen to buy a Vision Pro, or my employer purchases one or two.

Someone reminded me it's time to post some alternatives to Adobe software:

@golgaloth Very nice list and graphics! While QuarkXpress is a real alternative, it lost a lot of its popularity 15 years ago. Maybe they are still big in some areas of the world, but I doubt it will rise to the top globally anytime soon 😊
