Apple Vision Pro: Full Control Without Controllers
Developing the Victoria VR: HQ Office for Apple Vision Pro is no ordinary task. It is still a very niche device, requiring a lot of creativity and custom solutions from our developers to leverage their existing knowledge to develop an application for this closed ecosystem. The first thing to mention is that it was obviously necessary to switch from the devices we were using to Macs. The beginning of the development was very difficult because there is almost no documentation for developing applications on Vision Pro, both from Apple and Epic, from whom we use the Unreal Engine. For smaller companies and startups, it’s almost impossible to get access to other resources, so we had to come up with our own solution and start developing in these unexplored waters.
The development was quite experimental, starting with learning how the Vision Pro and Unreal Engine work together and what solutions from our previous projects could be applied to other devices. The Vision Pro has no controllers, so we had to devise an entirely new control scheme using hand tracking. We had used the hand tracking mechanic in some of our previous projects, so we decided to find a way to implement it in this new project. This task was extremely challenging due to the lack of tutorials. However, it turned out to be the right move. We were able to take the core hand tracking mechanics from our previous projects and successfully adapt them with a new control scheme specifically tailored for Vision Pro, which then allowed us to fully optimize the hand tracking controls for this new platform.
But it was not just the controls that needed to be solved. Learning how to work with the Vision Pro, how to use the Unreal Engine for this closed ecosystem, and how to get the application up and running were also key issues to overcome during the development process. Nevertheless, our experienced developers overcame these challenges, and we are proud to present the Victoria VR: HQ Office for Apple Vision Pro, where you can explore the beautiful Victoria VR Tower.
